The Launch Directory

Every launch, every week, permanently on the record.

How do reviews, comments and influence work here?

File on community contributions: reviews and comments, following products, sharing launches, reporting content, and how influence is earned.

Updated

Reviews and replies

Community reviews are filed by founders about each other's products. To write one, sign in, confirm your email address and maintain a live listing of your own. You cannot review your own product, and each product can be reviewed once per reviewer. A review must contain at least 80 characters and is published immediately.

The listing owner or a manager with team access may post one public reply under each review. Replies can be edited or deleted later. The reviewer is notified when a reply is first published.

Comments and reports

Signed-in visitors with a confirmed email address can comment on launches and answer other comments. Any visitor can report a listing, review, reply or comment using the Report link. If 3 different people report a review or comment, it is hidden pending review by our team. Reported listings are checked by our team but are never hidden automatically.

Following and sharing

Use the Follow button to track a company, product or founder. You will receive updates in your notices—set your preferences at /account/notifications. Updates posted by companies appear on their listing and centrally at /updates.

Every launch has a share page with pre-written text for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, WhatsApp and email, plus a copy-link button for circulation.

Influence

Active members earn influence by writing reviews and comments, receiving votes on their own launches, and signing in regularly. Influence cannot be purchased. A higher level increases the weight of your vote. Check your current level at /account/influence.
