How to use this launch checklist

Start the pre-launch section about a week out. Lock your name with the startup name generator, tighten the one-liner with the tagline generator, and confirm your URL with the slug checker. On launch day, submit to Founder.best first - the product page and dofollow backlink are permanent, and the weekly winners are decided by upvotes during your launch week.

Post-launch, work the free startup directories list filtered to dofollow sites, and check each target with the Domain Rating checker so you spend time on listings that actually pass authority. Choosing between launch platforms? Our Product Hunt alternatives guide ranks 12 boards, communities, and directories with honest expectations for each.
