How to follow a listing or founder on The Launch Directory
Press Follow on any listing or founder page to receive their updates by email and in your account. Signing up is free.
Updated
Filed and followed
Every listing page and founder profile carries a Follow button. When you follow a listing or its founder, their news reaches you automatically—no need to return to check. Following requires only a free account on the site.
The process
Locate the Follow button on the page you wish to track. If you are already logged in, pressing it confirms your choice immediately and the button changes to Following. Should you be logged out, the button directs you to sign in or register, then returns you to complete the action with a single tap.
What followers receive
Followers of a listing are notified of:
- New milestones and updates
- Additional products from the same company
- Changes in status (acquisition, closure)
- New founder stories filed about it
- Demo video uploads or replacements
- Launches on other launch and discovery sites (maximum one notice daily)
- Launch of the Week awards (#1, #2, #3)
Followers of a founder receive notice of new founder stories only. Each update arrives as an alert in your account and in email.
Managing notification frequency
By default, updates arrive in a single daily summary email. Visit /account/notifications to select your preference: instantly, daily summary, weekly summary, or off. You may also configure Telegram or Slack delivery from the same page.
Stopping or pausing
Return to the listing or founder page and press the Following button to stop at once. Alternatively, you can disable emails at /account/notifications whilst remaining a follower.
The record: following and vote rankings
Following does not register as a vote and does not affect listings' vote counts, positions or Product of the Week status. The most followed launches appear on /launches/most-followed.
