Get your profile ready
Before any listing appears on the site, you need a finished founder profile at /account/founder. Fill in:
- A photo and one-line description of it
- Your full name
- Your title or role
- Your country
- A bio (minimum 80 characters)
- At least one personal link: your own website or a personal social profile, not a company page
City and a founder story link are optional extras.
Why your listing gets held
You can write, submit and pay for a listing without a complete profile. But it won't release until your founder profile is done. Don't worry—it's not going anywhere. The moment you finish the profile, your listing goes live automatically.
If you paid for a specific week that hasn't arrived yet, you keep it. If that week has passed, your listing publishes this week (paid slots) or in the next free-queue slot (free listings). We'll let you know what happens.
Add your co-founders
Go to the Team section at /account/founder to invite co-builders. Each co-founder needs their own complete profile before they show up on your product page.
Questions people ask
- What stops my listing going live?
- An incomplete founder profile at /account/founder. Once you fill it all in, your listing releases right away.
- Do I lose my listing if my profile isn't ready?
- No. Your listing stays in draft. Paid weeks you've booked are held; free slots queue up. Everything goes live once your profile is complete.
- How do co-founders appear on my product?
- Invite them from the Team section at /account/founder. They show on your listing once their own profile is finished.
