Where to launch your startup
41 launch platforms, startup directories and communities: what each one is, who it suits and the link it gives your site.
Every entry says only what we could check. We read the website link on real listings to see whether it is dofollow (9 platforms checked so far, each linking to the listings we read); the rest say “not checked yet” rather than a guess. Aback Launch is listed too, marked as us, and never sorted first.
