Submit to Gust
A platform where founders build a company profile and use it to apply to angel groups and accelerators; it also sells incorporation and equity tools. It is not a product directory: the profile is a pitch page for investors, and once published it appears in Gust's company directory with a limited public overview that includes your website link. Contact details, pitch deck, financials and documents stay private until you share them with an investor.

Gust at a glance
- Pricing
- Free + paid options
- A founder account and company profile are free ('Get started for free'). The paid plans cover incorporation and equity management, not the profile: Start $450/year, Accelerate $1,250/year, Raise $3,500/year.
- Link type
- Dofollow
- Two public company profiles inspected in a rendered browser (a plain fetch is blocked): the Website field links straight to the startup's site with no rel attribute, e.g. https://gust.com/companies/eboxchain and https://gust.com/companies/bigado-networks-ai. Not confirmed: what a newly published profile looks like or how fast it shows up in the directory, because no account was created (checked 2026-11-12) What a dofollow link is

How to submit to Gust
Open the Gust submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
Gust asks you to sign up before you can submit.
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.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Gust (Angel groups, venture investors and accelerator managers screening startups, and founders preparing to raise money), not for search engines.
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 Gust
- Publishing is a separate, optional step. The help centre says only a published profile is listed in the company directory and indexed by Google; an unpublished one can still be sent to investors but is not public.
- On the sign-up page choose the entrepreneur role; the other two are for investment organisations and accelerator managers.
- Only the overview is public (summary, stage, industry, location, team, website), so put the care there. The deck, financials and documents are hidden from directory visitors.
- The help centre warns that real investors on Gust make contact through an access request inside the platform, and that direct emails from people claiming to be Gust investors are a known scam.
From Gust’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for startup directories.
- 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
- Your stage (idea, beta, launched) and the year you started
- Founder names and a short founder story (2–3 sentences)
- Funding status, only if you share it publicly
- A launch or beta date if you are not live yet
Is Gust worth it?
A followed link, with a low bar
The listing link we inspected was followed, but we couldn’t confirm that anyone reviews listings. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 75 (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.
