So, what's the secret sauce to getting your launch featured on Product Hunt?

Question

When we launched a month ago or so, we got featured (albeit a bit late after around the first 6 hours). But we are still equally clueless as to what really goes into getting featured.

Any gurus who can shed some light here?
Might be useful to the ones who are about to launch from this point on.

@jhony_srear Yes, having a strong existing network certainly seems to be crucial to get that initial momentum.

@galina_linardi Indeed. That seems to be useful. Although there is a large group of users in PH community who don't really see that as a necessary step. 
Have you worked with a hunter before?

@jay_peterson That certainly is true. It's a community after all.
