Tips
- Prepare a short tagline, three screenshots and a one-paragraph story before you submit.
- Space launches out: one per week lets you answer every comment.
- Link to a page that explains the product, not a sign-in screen.
- Thank early commenters and keep the listing updated after launch.

Questions about startup and launch directories
What is a launch directory?
A launch directory lists new products for an audience of early adopters, investors and press. Most give you a profile page with your website link and a short window of attention on launch day.
When should I launch?
Launch when the product works end to end and you can answer comments that day. A launch page that links to an unfinished site wastes the one chance most directories give you.
