- Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
- Paid upgrades are offered. The free listing is enough to start.
- Save the listing URL once it's public, so you can check the link later.

Submit to StartupFound with your AI agent
AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, StartupFound included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On StartupFound specifically:
- It already knows StartupFound's submit flow from the path we recorded (startupfound.com/submit → startupfound.com/login).
- StartupFound needs an account, so the agent signs up and confirms the email itself.
- It writes the listing copy for StartupFound's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- It takes the free route and skips StartupFound's paid upgrades unless you approve them.
- When StartupFound publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the nofollow link in your launch tracker.
