How to submit your startup to Peerlist

What is Peerlist?

Peerlist (peerlist.io) is a launch platform: professional network for makers with profile-linked launches.

Launch platforms concentrate attention on a launch day or week. Timing, a strong tagline, and rallying early upvotes matter far more than on passive directories.

How to submit to Peerlist

1. 1Create a maker account and complete your profile (photo, bio, links) before launch day.
2. 2Prepare a one-line tagline under 60 characters, a 2-3 sentence description, a square logo, and 2-4 screenshots.
3. 3Pick your launch date - avoid days with big competing launches if the platform shows a schedule.
4. 4Publish early in the platform's day, then share the link with your audience in the first few hours.
5. 5Reply to every comment on launch day - engagement usually affects ranking.

Tips for a Peerlist listing that converts

• Use the same product name, tagline, and logo you use on Founder.best and other directories - consistency helps search engines connect your listings.
• Write a fresh description for Peerlist instead of copy-pasting. Duplicate text across dozens of sites adds little value.
• Point the link at your homepage or a strong landing page, not a signup form, so the authority lands where it helps rankings.
• Record the live listing URL and date in your tracker, then check back in 30 days for indexing and traffic.

Peerlist vs Founder.best

They work best together: an active weekly launch on Founder.best brings launch-day attention and a dofollow link, and Peerlist adds a long-lived listing afterwards.
