Free route launch-board
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Free submission marketed as taking ~45 seconds; products are queued into weekly launch cohorts (UTC weeks)
- Products go through an approval step — 'Approved products for the current UTC week will appear here automatically'
- Website URL is the entry point — the wizard auto-fetches title, description, and logo from the site
- Sign-in link present; an account is likely required to manage/track the submission
Prepare before opening the form
- Canonical product URL with good OpenGraph metadata — the wizard scrapes title, description, and logo automatically
- Corrected title/description ready in case auto-fetch grabs the wrong text
- Product logo and category choice (SaaS & Tools, AI & ML, Developer Tools, etc.)
Workflow
- Open https://justhunt.co/submit and enter the product's website URL (step 1 auto-fetches metadata)
- Complete the Details step (verify/edit fetched title, description, logo, category)
- Confirm the Launch step — the product is scheduled into an upcoming weekly cohort
- Once approved, the product appears in 'Upcoming Startup Launches' and competes in its launch week (top-3 weekly winners get prizes)
Watch for
- Weekly-cohort model: approval schedules you for a future week — 787 products were queued, so launch week may be weeks out
- Heavy upsell surface: 'Boost DR' directory-submission service, Ads pricing page, Launch Boost — the core listing is free but promotions are pushed
- Products can be submitted 'by Anonymous' — auth may be optional for basic submission
- Marketing claims (DR 45+ backlink, 50k founders) are unverified — treat as promotional
What counts as live
The product appears under 'Upcoming Startup Launches' with a scheduled date, then moves into 'Launching This Week' and gets a /startups/<slug> page during its cohort week
Not verified
- Whether an account is strictly required (sign-in exists but anonymous submissions appear in the queue)
- Approval criteria and rejection rate
- Whether the promised backlink is dofollow once live
