Spectacle (Startup Videos)
Conditional 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.
What the free route requires
- Requires a free account (email or Google sign-in) before the Add a Video form is accessible
- The library is hand-picked — submission is subject to curation; only videos meeting the site's quality bar get in
Requirements
- You need a VIDEO — this is a curated library of startup/product marketing, brand, and launch films, not a product listing
- Videos are tagged by production style (live action, animation, screencast, mixed media), length, mood, and industry
- Fit: launch films, product explainers, brand videos — the kind 'worth studying'
Prepare before opening the form
- A finished product/launch video (hosted URL, e.g. YouTube/Vimeo)
- Account email or Google login
- Likely metadata: title, brand/company name, production style, industry, mood tags
- Studio credit if a production studio made it (there's a separate Featured Studios section)
Workflow
- Create an account at https://spectacle.is/auth/signup?redirectTo=/submit (Google or email)
- Open /submit ('Add a Video') and enter the video URL plus metadata
- Submission is curated — accepted videos appear in Latest Videos and relevant category/collection pages
Watch for
- Requires a polished video asset — without one, this destination is unusable
- Curation bar is high (the library features OpenAI, Apple, PostHog-grade work); a low-effort screen recording will likely be rejected
- Site is made by video studio Thinkmojo — the directory also funnels work to featured studios
- A video listing links to the video, not necessarily a product page — value is showcase/inspiration traffic
What counts as live
The submitted video appears in the Latest Videos feed and is playable from its spectacle.is detail page
Not verified
- Whether acceptance criteria or turnaround are stated post-login
- Whether the listing links out to the product site as dofollow
- Whether a 'Sponsor' route offers paid placement
