What the free route requires

A free VentureRadar account is required before creating a company profile
Free submissions enter manual verification: 'typically reviewed within 21 days' (stated as 21 business days elsewhere on the page)
Fast Track alternative: Premium Profile $75 (advertised as '50% lifetime discount') for immediate approval

Company profile: company name, website, LinkedIn URL, company type (Privately Held / Publicly Traded / Non Profit / Research Institute / Subsidiary / Acquired-Merged / University / None), founded year, HQ country
Company activity description (an AI Analyst can generate a suggestion from draft text)
Short descriptor under 250 characters
Up to 6 sectors/keywords, max 30 characters each
Cookies must be enabled; account creation gated by a 'not a robot' check

Register a free VentureRadar account (email sign-up; cookies required)
Company LinkedIn URL, founded year, HQ country, company type
A polished company description and a <250-char descriptor, plus up to 6 sector keywords

Create a free account via 'Free Sign-up' on ventureradar.com
Open https://www.ventureradar.com/add_company (also linked as /submitcompany)
Step through the wizard: basic details → company type/founded/HQ → AI-assisted activity description → short descriptor + sectors/keywords
Choose route: 'Normal' (free, ~21-day review) or 'Fast Track' Premium $75 (immediate approval)
On approval you get an email; employees can then 'claim' the company to make ongoing updates

The add_company flow is a multi-step JS wizard - budget for several screens, not one form
Site pushes a paid 'Full Access' plan (from $60/mo) for search/export limits - unrelated to listing; do not mistake it for a required fee
Approval email grants a live profile; claiming the company later requires proving you work there
Premium/fast-track pricing shown as $75 with a '50% lifetime discount' framing

An approval email arrives and the company profile page is publicly visible in the VentureRadar company directory.

Exact acceptance criteria used during the 21-day verification
Whether the free listing link is dofollow
Whether profiles can be submitted for companies you do not work at (claiming is a separate later step)
