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 Tiny Startups worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
Tiny Startups reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 71 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #993,065: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- 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.
