How to submit to FoundrList

  1. Open the FoundrList submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    FoundrList asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse FoundrList (Founders and startup builders), not for search engines.

  5. Wait, then check

    We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.

Tips for FoundrList

  • Free listings don't get home page placement; the paid tiers publish instantly and sit at the top of the home page for 7 or 14 days.
  • Paid plans skip badge verification, so pay if you don't want a badge on your site.
  • Engage in the feed and comments, since FoundrList is built as a social network as well as a launch board.

From FoundrList’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for product launch platforms.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • A chosen launch date, with time blocked to reply to comments
  • A maker comment: why you built it and what feedback you want
  • Gallery images or a short demo video
  • An optional launch-day offer for that platform’s users

Is FoundrList worth it?

Depends on the listing

FoundrList uses followed links on some listings and not others. Read the evidence above and check which kind your listing gets before you pay for anything.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 72 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
