Free route community
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- An e27 account is required (sign up via Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, or email)
- The account contact email must be verified before the startup profile can go live (e27 shows a 'Verify Your Email Address' banner until done)
- Startup profiles are the unit of listing - e27 is a Southeast Asia / Asia startup ecosystem platform
Prepare before opening the form
- Startup name and website URL
- Headquarters location/city
- Square logo (guide suggests ~100x100 PNG minimum; a 512px+ square logo is the safe default)
- Short description (~200 chars max) and long description (up to ~2,000 chars) covering story, value proposition, traction
- Team members and funding/rounds information
- Social links: LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram
Workflow
- Sign up at e27.co and verify the account email address
- Navigate to 'Add Your Startup' / https://e27.co/startup/create/profile/
- Fill in General Information (name, website, HQ, logo), Startup Details (short + long description), Team & Funding, and social links
- Submit; e27 shows a completion state ('Your startup profile is 100% complete!') - then click 'View Company Profile' to confirm the public page
Watch for
- The create-profile endpoint returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch - complete the flow in a real browser
- Unverified email blocks visibility - check inbox (and spam) for the e27 verification link
- The launchdesk note says 'free' but field-level paywalls may exist for some profile features; third-party listing guides flag certain fields as paid-plan only - complete all free fields first
What counts as live
The company profile page is publicly reachable on e27.co and the startup surfaces in the /startups/ directory/search
Not verified
- Whether all profile fields are available on the free plan (third-party guides mark some fields as paid)
- Whether e27 editorially approves profiles before public display or they publish instantly after email verification
- Current Pro-tier pricing and whether it gates the outbound link
