What Our Users Have to Say About Story Boosts

Carin Lagerstedt, CMO Remotive Labs

Hackernoon’s Boosted Story feature helps us gain visibility among tech enthusiasts and automotive developers. It’s a great way to spotlight how our tools empower software development and reduce dependencies in the automotive industry.


Sal Kimmich, Technical Director, GadflyAI

I’m thrilled to receive a boost on HackerNoon! It helps me to raise stories that have ongoing impact, like the discussion around transparency and authenticity in open-source AI. HackerNoon’s platform has been instrumental in amplifying these important conversations, but boosts make it possible to amplify the most urgent stories on cybersecurity regulation, directly to technology leaders, in real time.


Noah Kalson, Director of Brand Marketing, Bright Data

The Boosted Story feature is the best way to highlight our brand's articles on HackerNoon and reach new and engaged readers. HackerNoon has always been a platform I trust for its quality and innovation, and this feature is no exception. They truly understand the needs of content creators and make it so easy to share our content with the right audience.
