Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Submission form at americaninno.com/post-a-startup/ — 'submit a startup for consideration to the Inno Pages; the Inno team will review the submission and publish it to the directory if applicable'
- Local-market structure — Inno operates ~40 local markets (americaninno.com/<city>/post-a-startup); pick your market
- Editorial review — submission is 'for consideration', not guaranteed listing
- americaninno.com blocked automated fetch (403) — flow verified via third-party documentation; questions to [email protected]
Prepare before opening the form
- Company details for the Inno Pages directory
- Pick the relevant local Inno market — the directories are city-based
- Local relevance matters — Inno is a local-startup-ecosystem publication
Workflow
- Open americaninno.com/post-a-startup/ (or the city-specific variant)
- Fill the startup submission form
- The Inno team reviews and publishes to the directory 'if applicable'
- Questions go to [email protected]
Watch for
- The site now forwards much of its content to bizjournals.com/inno — the destination is a shadow of the original local-innovation network
- Review-based directory — submission doesn't guarantee listing
- Local-market fit required — a startup with no presence in a covered city is off-beat
- Site blocked automated fetch — verify the form works in a real browser
What counts as live
The startup appears in the relevant local Inno Pages directory
Not verified
- Whether the post-a-startup form still functions post-bizjournals consolidation
- Current directory maintenance level
