i made a list of the best tech storytellers on X in 2026 @cosign
the bar:
– builds agent-native. no commentators
– at least one viral post this year (1M+)
– can turn a product into a narrative people repeat
storytelling is the moat

ok big drop today: very excited to announce
The Cosign Awards
2026 has been a crazy year. One thing we keep seeing: the people making the biggest impact inside top companies aren’t always the people you’d expect. The org chart no longer tells the whole story. a single, standout engineer, designer, growth leader, or operator can change the trajectory of the entire company.
If you’ve worked with someone like this, you know... the rest of the world hasn’t caught up yet. We want to help change that.
Today, we’re opening nominations for the @Cosign Awards.
For the next month, we’re looking for the most impactful contributors, and rising stars across the key functions that make great companies work.
We'll aggregate nominations across 41 categories, and with help from a panel of 21 judges including @lennysan, @omooretweets, @packyM, @gokulr, @rrhoover, @dhaber, @avichal, @gaganbiyani, @amasad, @illscience, @venturetwins & more - we’ll select ten people in each category, and then bring them together to meet, exchange ideas, and build relationships.
(this is the part i'm most excited about, to be honest .. gathering the winners IRL + group chats: we'll run this every year, and hope to see alumni communities of awards winners building things together, helping each-other out, and more - over time).
So, here it goes!
Who comes to mind?
Nominate at cosign.co/awards
Excited to announce the Cosign Awards: celebrating exceptional people, companies, and products that had a massive impact in 2026.
cosign.co/awards
Anyone can nominate and vote. Award winners will be chosen by the public in conjunction with a panel of judges, including industry leaders like @lennysan, @packyM, @amasad, and many more. We’ll host an event in December honoring the winners (10 per category).
For people categories, we’re mostly focused on everyone except the CEO–everyone else building the company behind the scenes.
Companies with the most amount of people nominations will be listed on our “Top Companies to Work For” page.
True to form, at Product Hunt I helped launch the Golden Kitty awards a decade ago to recognize great products. Soon after I launched the Rise Awards, honoring executives and ICs building companies that make them. The Cosign Awards is the next iteration.

Introducing Discourse: Where the world’s foremost monitors assemble to discuss the situations of the day.
discourse.cosign.co
Excited to release Discourse, a tech forum for the modern era.
discourse.cosign.co
Today, the discourse in tech is either free for all (broadcast social networks) or completely private (group chats). There’s no midsize social network where a few thousand tech leaders talk to each other.
We'll have a hybrid model. Some people will have access to post directly, and everyone else's posts will go through a queue. We'll start with ~5,000 white-listed people, and more people who post smart comments will be given direct access over time.
Discourse is built off the @cosign graph and will be embedded into the platform.
We’ve partnered with our favorite monitors to make sense of what’s happening in real time.
P.S. True to form, I actually built a version of this a decade ago called @beondeckdaily, inspired by Hacker News.

One of the (many) most fun parts of @cosign is our take on the "six degrees of separation" game
On the "discover" page there's a graph view,
where you can:
- randomly generate a starting point (random Cosign profile)
- expand that node's connections - cosigns, lists
- try get from there, back to you
cosign.co/discover/graph
Cosign retweeted
Waitlisted @cosign users can now browse existing profiles, Wikipedia rabbit hole as far as they want, and suggest edits where they see mistakes. You can check out cosign.co/discover/graph and hop around a bit!
Waitlisted users can also contribute to community cosign lists.
Users with access should now see a new, simpler home feed excperience geared around cosigns and forming new connections.
Our private beta is a way to allow us to iterate and really get the product right before allowing for mass consumership, we are working hard every day at nailing this for all of you!
Cosign retweeted
if you're on @cosign:
1- check out the new network page (cosign.co/discover/network) to see what/who your mutuals have been cosigning!
2- we've separated "cosigns" from "lists" as distinct primitives. Going forward
‣ a cosign is a strong + intentional vouch .. three categories only ... you can cosign someone who "will be a star" .. "shaped your career" or "would work with anywhere"
‣ a list is a collection of things- people, companies, products you choose to curate for any given reason .. more akin to a spotify playlist or pinterst board. It could carry signal, e.g. "david's list of the best designers i love working with", but i'd consider this a less substative "vouch" than a cosign.
3- invitations have been replaced by "nominations" .. There is no such thing as "inviting someone" to cosign - tou can cosign them, AND nominate them to join. We're ramping up new onboardings as fast as possible and - and prioritizing people who submit answers in advance via the typeform (cosign.typeform.com/waitlist)
if you're new to cosign: there's a brand new onboarding flow!!
stay tuned for daily updates & let us know what you wanna see
We shipped a few changes to @cosign this weekend
1 - we launched cosign.co/discover/network to let you see what people and companies your mutuals have been cosigning
2 - a new onboarding experience!
3 - cosigns and lists are now distinct primitives. you cosign someone for something (will be a star, shaped your career, or would work with anywhere)
4 - invitations have been replaced by nominations, and inviter/invitees are now displayed on your profile. while we would love to have cosign be strictly invite-based, we want to ensure cosigns mean something, and aren't given away to strangers on X
5 - some general bug fixes, though we have more to come here
We are committed to making cosign the best professional network in the world. Our product at launch had some bugs that definitely affected UX, and some product kinks that weren't fully fleshed out. We apolgize for that, and we thank you for your patience!
I'll be regularly discussing our new changes + hearing out what you all want to see from this product next.
Also, we have something big coming for our waitlisted users later this week😉
