## Direct answer
Submit Your Startup is a free, open launch directory where votes decide startup rank.
Submit Your Startup is a free, open launch directory where early-stage founders list their startups and get votes and feedback. Votes set the rank, and payment never buys it.

Launches go out every day. Every launch of a week sits on that week's board and is judged on the votes from its own first 7 days. Ads are labelled "Ad" and are never ranked.

Founders can submit for free: 30 free spots a week are given out out once a week, oldest first, and a free launch gets a spot in the next week with room. An optional paid launch at $19 is offered when available. The project is based in Germany and was founded in 2026. Learn more at Submit Your Startup, an open launch index.
