Free route launch-board
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Account required — new accounts are created via Google, LinkedIn, or X OAuth only; email sign-in is restricted to existing accounts and cannot create one
- Products launch daily ('New launches every day at 12:00 AM PDT')
- Some listings carry a 'Premium' badge — a paid tier exists but pricing was not visible on public pages
Prepare before opening the form
- A Google, LinkedIn or X account (email-only signup is not supported)
- Product name, tagline/description, logo, categories (broad taxonomy e.g. B2B, AI Tools, Marketplaces)
- Optional discount/promo text — some listings display offers like '30% off for 3 months'
Workflow
- Open startupbase.io/submit or the 'Launch' nav item
- Continue with Google, LinkedIn, or X (account is created automatically)
- Complete the product submission form in the dashboard
- Product is queued for a daily launch (12:00 AM PDT drops)
- Listing appears on the Today board and keeps a permanent page
Watch for
- Email field is a trap for new users — it only sends sign-in codes to EXISTING accounts; use OAuth
- A 'Premium' marker on some listings implies a paid route whose price/terms are not published on public pages
- Homepage pitch is 'earn a DR 74+ backlink' — whether the free tier's link is dofollow is not stated
- Advertise page exists for paid placements
What counts as live
The product appears on the daily 'Today' board with its own detail page after its launch date.
Not verified
