Founder profile: what to add, and when a build waits for it
Free listings ship once the profile is complete and the badge is verified. Paid launches ship without waiting.

Paid? You ship
A paid launch ships at once or in the week you picked. An unfinished founder profile does not hold it back. Same deal for a relaunch, the multi-site bundle, the done-for-you listing, and a free listing you upgrade to a paid launch.
Free? Two things first
A free listing ships when both of these are done:
- our badge is verified on your website
- your founder profile is complete Until then it waits. It is not lost, and you do not need to resubmit. Finish the missing one and it is released automatically. Missed your queue week? It goes into the next free-queue week and we tell you.
What goes in the profile
At /account/founder add a photo with a one-line description, your full name, your title or role, your country, a short bio (80 characters or more) and at least one personal link. That means your own website or a personal social profile, not a company page. City and a founder story link are optional.
Worth doing either way
The profile is shown on your listing, so we invite you to complete it even when nothing is waiting on it.
Co-founders
Invite them from the Team section of /account/founder. They appear on the product once their own profile is complete.
