Submit Your Startup is a free, open launch directory built for early-stage founders who want a simple place to list what they are building and get real attention from other makers. Where startups launch is not just our tagline, it is the whole idea: you add your startup, people see it, and the community decides what rises to the top. There are no paid placements, no hidden tiers, and no gatekeeping. Votes set the rank, so every listing starts on equal footing and earns its position through genuine interest.
Founders often struggle with the first step of distribution. Before a product has an audience, it is hard to get anyone to look at it, let alone give honest feedback. Submit Your Startup solves this by giving early-stage teams a public home where their startup can be discovered, voted on, and discussed. Whether you are a solo maker shipping a weekend project, a small team preparing for a bigger launch, or a founder testing an idea before investing further, the directory gives you a low-friction place to put your work in front of people who care about new products.
Key features include a free listing for any startup, a public ranking driven entirely by community votes, and a feedback loop that lets founders learn what resonates. Each listing presents the product name, a short tagline, a description, the website, and links to the founder, so visitors can quickly understand what a startup does and who is behind it. Because ranking is vote based, a startup that listens to feedback, improves, and engages with its audience can climb over time.
Common use cases include announcing a new product for the first time, gathering early votes and comments before a launch on another platform, finding beta testers and first users, and building a small trail of public backlinks and social proof. Founders can also browse the directory to discover other early-stage startups, support peers by voting, and exchange useful feedback. This makes the directory valuable on both sides: people who list their product and people who simply enjoy finding new tools.
The benefits are straightforward. Listing is free, so there is no budget barrier for bootstrapped founders. Ranking is transparent, so you always understand why a startup sits where it does. Feedback is built into the experience, so you are not launching into silence. And because the directory focuses on early-stage startups, your product is shown alongside peers at a similar stage rather than being buried under established companies with large marketing budgets.
Submit Your Startup is categorized as a SaaS, productivity, and directory product. It is operated by a small independent team that cares about making launching simpler and fairer for founders everywhere. You can follow updates on X at GetSubmitYS and find the team on GitHub as SubmitYS. If you have questions, ideas, or suggestions for how to make the directory better, you can reach us by email at eveninglaunch@mail.grokbot.com, and we read every message.
In conclusion, Submit Your Startup exists to give early-stage founders a free, open, and community driven place to launch. List your startup, collect votes, gather feedback, and let the ranking reflect what people actually want to use. If you are building something new and want a friendly place to share it with the world, this is the place to launch. Add your startup today and see how far community votes can take it, then come back to share progress and support the next founder in line.
