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 Startbase (German investors, corporates, SMEs and founders following the DACH startup scene), 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 Startbase

- Sign up with LinkedIn for the two-click express registration
- Profiles also pull in press coverage, so link your announcements from German startup media
From Startbase’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for regional 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
- Where the company is registered and where the team is based
- Founding year, team size and stage
- A description in the local language, if the directory publishes in one
- Links to local press, accelerator or programme pages, if you have them
Is Startbase worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether Startbase links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 61 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #862,239: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
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.
