Startup directories put your company in front of investors, journalists, and early adopters who browse these lists deliberately rather than stumbling on them. They are also among the most durable backlinks a young company can get, because directory listings rarely get removed.

Below are 119 places to list a startup: dedicated startup directories, launch platforms, and founder communities that accept product posts. Each was verified live and is ranked by measured Domain Rating. If you only have time for a handful, take the top five dofollow entries: those combine a real audience with a link that helps your own search rankings.

Two narrower lists split out of this one if you already know what you need: launch platforms for launch-day visibility, and founder communities for slower but higher-quality feedback. Both are linked at the foot of this page.

What order to submit in

Submitting alphabetically wastes the approval window. The high-authority directories take the longest to review, so they should go out first. These bands are computed from the measured Domain Ratings of the 119 entries on this page.

  1. Start hereDR 60 and above32 listed · 15 dofollow

    Highest authority and the slowest to review. Submit these first so the approval clock starts early, and write the description by hand.

    Top of this band: Reddit, Crunchbase, DEV Community, Hacker News

  2. Then theseDR 40 to 5932 listed · 16 dofollow

    The best ratio of authority to effort. Most approve within a couple of weeks and several send real referral traffic, not just a link.

    Top of this band: Launchtory, Startup Inspire, Launch Vault, Firsto

  3. Fill in withDR 20 to 3931 listed · 21 dofollow

    Fast approvals and niche audiences. Worth doing in a batch once the tiers above are submitted, but they will not move rankings alone.

    Top of this band: Awesome Indie, toolfolio, BusinessHunt, Indie Goodies

  4. Skip unless relevantBelow DR 2024 listed · 19 dofollow

    Low authority. Only submit where the audience genuinely matches your product, otherwise the time is better spent elsewhere.

    Top of this band: Hunt Startup, LaunchLog, Top10, SideProjects

Common questions

How many startup directories to submit your startup are there?
This list tracks 119, each verified to return a live response. 71 of them give dofollow links that pass authority to your site; the rest are nofollow or unverified.
Which has the highest Domain Rating?
Reddit (reddit.com) at Domain Rating 95. Domain Rating here comes from the Ahrefs free Domain Rating API on a 0-100 scale, queried per domain and dated, rather than copied undated from other directory lists.
Should I submit to all of them?
No. Submitting to every directory on a list is the exact pattern search engines learned to discount. Pick the ones genuinely relevant to your product, start with the highest Domain Rating dofollow entries, and write a unique description for each.
Are these free to submit to?
12 are marked free to submit. Many others accept free listings but charge for faster review or a featured slot, and some require a badge on your site in exchange for a free listing.

How this list is maintained

Every URL here was requested directly and returned a live response; entries that had gone dead were removed rather than carried over. Domain Rating comes from the Ahrefs free Domain Rating API on a 0–100 scale, queried per domain rather than copied from other directory lists, which tend to republish figures without dating them. Link type reflects what the directory used at the time of checking and can change without notice. The full methodology walks through every step.

The full database covers 508 directory submission sites, 315 of them dofollow. If you are starting from scratch, the curated Product Hunt alternatives guide explains which channels to use in what order. The whole database is also available as JSON and as Markdown.
