Requirements
- Curated resource library for startups organized by stage: Idea, Validate, MVP, Business (registration), Team, Funding, Growth, Support
- Accepts resources across types: Tools, Blogs/Articles, Podcasts, Books, More - not just products
- Submission is a Typeform at thestartupplug.typeform.com/to/QdP01b linked from every 'Submit resource' button
- No payment is indicated anywhere on the site
Prepare before opening the form
- Resource title, URL, and the startup stage it best serves
- Resource type (tool/article/podcast/book/other)
- A short pitch on why the resource helps founders; audience skews Nigerian/African startups but resources are global
Workflow
- Open the Typeform: https://thestartupplug.typeform.com/to/QdP01b (linked as '+ Submit resource' in the nav/footer)
- Complete the Typeform questions (JS-rendered, not fetchable)
- Submit; curation is manual - contact emails listed: [email protected], [email protected]
Watch for
- Submission channel is entirely Typeform - there is no on-site listing form or account system
- Site's latest content is dated (most recent articles ~2023-2024); curation activity level is uncertain
- This is a resource library - a listing means being included as a recommended tool/content for a startup stage, not a product profile page
- Nigerian (.com.ng) focus - tailor the pitch to early-stage founders
What counts as live
The resource appears as a card under the relevant stage section (e.g. /build-mvp/, /raise-funds/) or Trending Tools on startupplug.com.ng.
Not verified
