Startup Collections
Route unverified directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Site collects 'great tools and resources for starters' across ~45 curated collections (dev tools, productivity, design, crypto, marketing, SEO, etc.)
- Submission form is JS-rendered and gated by an imunify bot-check, so fields could not be inspected
Prepare before opening the form
- Product/tool name, URL, description, and the best-fit 'collection' (category) from their list
- JavaScript-capable browser — the form does not render to plain fetchers
Workflow
- Open https://startupcollections.com/submit-product/ in a real browser and clear the bot check
- Choose the relevant collection and fill the submit form
- Submit and await manual inclusion
Watch for
- Form is hidden behind JavaScript and an imunify-bot-check interstitial — automated/text-only submission is unlikely to work
- An 'Advertise on Startup Collections' page exists separately — advertising is distinct from a free listing
- Site looks lightly maintained; pricing/free status of listings is not published
What counts as live
The tool appears inside the relevant collection page on startupcollections.com
Not verified
- Whether submission is free or paid
- Form fields and review turnaround
- Whether the site is still actively curating submissions
