I built LaunchDirectories because I wanted something that actually works for everyone - founders looking for good directories AND directory owners who want quality submissions. If you have any questions or just want to chat about getting your directory listed, feel free to drop me a message!
I personally test each directory to ensure quality. Here's what I look for:
I test submission processes myself. If it's broken or abandoned, it doesn't make the cut. The process should be straightforward and documented.
Directory should have decent domain rating (usually 30+) and real visitors. No point submitting to dead sites with no engagement.
The directory should curate submissions properly, not just accept everything. Quality over quantity approach shows they care about their users.
The platform should be actively maintained, with fresh content and ongoing improvements. Dead or stagnant directories don't help anyone.
Could be general business directories, tech-specific, or niche platforms. As long as startups can benefit from being listed there.
Directory should have clear instructions on what they're looking for, pricing, and submission requirements. No guessing games.
We welcome any platform where founders can submit or list their startups. This includes general business directories, tech-specific platforms, niche directories, and startup communities. The key requirements are: active maintenance, clear submission process, and genuine value for startup founders.
