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

  • Log in / sign up required (nav shows 'Log in / Sign up'; 'Launch now' routes to /submit)
  • Curated: 'Every listing is hand-approved' by a human
  • Footer labels the startup submission 'Submit a Startup — Free' — no badge requirement is stated

Prepare before opening the form

  • Account credentials
  • Startup URL — step 1 asks only for the URL and they scrape the rest ('We read the rest off it. You can change anything that comes back wrong.')
  • Revenue and traffic figures (optional fields — can be marked pre-revenue; self-reported numbers stay labeled as such unless verified)
  • Optional upgrades selection on the final step

Workflow

  1. Log in / sign up, then open https://www.tinystartups.com/submit
  2. Step 1 of 6: paste the startup URL — details are auto-read; correct anything wrong
  3. Progress through Revenue, Traffic, About you, and Upgrades steps
  4. Submit for human approval
  5. Approved listings appear on the homepage feeds (Top picks / Newest) and earn the DR 71 do-follow backlink

Watch for

  • Step 6 'Upgrades' is an upsell step — review before accepting; adjacent paid products include Submit a Deal ($69), List a Tool ($69), advertising, and the sponsor board
  • Sponsors literally 'pay to rank higher' on the Spotlight board — placement is openly for sale
  • Revenue can optionally be verified (/revenue/submit); unverified figures show as self-reported/'Not yet verified' on the public profile
  • Part of a studio network (clicks.page, founder.page) — cross-product prompts are built into the flow

What counts as live

The startup appears on tinystartups.com homepage listings (Top picks/Newest/Revenue leaderboard) with a profile and outbound link.

Not verified

  • What the 'Upgrades' step sells and at what price (gated behind the form flow)
  • Approval latency and rejection criteria
  • Whether all approved listings get the do-follow link or only some placements
