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
- Log in / sign up, then open https://www.tinystartups.com/submit
- Step 1 of 6: paste the startup URL — details are auto-read; correct anything wrong
- Progress through Revenue, Traffic, About you, and Upgrades steps
- Submit for human approval
- 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
