MicroFounder
Paid only community
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Positioned for solo and near-solo founders (microfounders) building 'real internet businesses' — curated, not open
- Listing is gated behind membership: 'Join MicroFounder' is a $99 one-time payment (marked down from $199)
- Startup profiles display public MRR figures — be prepared to share revenue
Prepare before opening the form
- $99 one-time membership payment
- Startup name, URL, description, and logo
- Revenue/MRR figure you are willing to display publicly (listings show e.g. '$10k/mo')
- Founder profile details — members get listed in a founders directory too
Workflow
- Open https://microfounder.com/join and pay the $99 one-time membership
- Log in and create the startup profile (name, URL, description, MRR)
- Profile appears in the Startups directory, founders list, and 'New members' section
Watch for
- No free submission route found — this is a paid community/listing hybrid
- Public revenue display is the site's signature — skip if you don't want MRR shown
- Curated positioning — membership may still be reviewed despite payment
- No self-serve free 'submit' endpoint anywhere on the site
What counts as live
The startup gets a public page under microfounder.com/startups/<slug> and the founder appears in the members/founders lists
Not verified
- Whether listings are dofollow
- Whether membership can be rejected/refunded after payment
- Whether free-tier listing ever existed (pricing may change)
