Every founder struggles with visibility. Building a great product is only half the job. The harder part is getting people to see it.

To make that easier, I’m sharing a Google Sheets resource with 350+ verified platforms where you can post your startup, reach users, and get coverage.

A visual graphic representing 350 platforms where founders can post their startup, including Product Hunt, TechCrunch, BetaList, and other global launch sites.
The ultimate list of 350+ platforms — from Product Hunt and TechCrunch to BetaList — helping founders launch, grow, and get discovered.

This list is the playbook we wish we had when we launched. It helps you reach the right audiences, boost SEO, GEO, and drive traffic that actually converts.

From Product Hunt and TechCrunch to Capterra, BetaList, and Healthline, it connects you with the exact communities that care about what you’re building.


What’s Inside

The spreadsheet is structured for speed and impact. Each entry includes:

  1. Platform Name: Major sites like Hacker News, Crunchbase, and Forbes.

  2. Direct Links: Submission or listing pages ready to use.

  3. Category: Broad platforms like Mashable and niche directories such as Beta Bound or Peerlist.

  4. Domain Authority (DA): A measure of each site’s SEO strength.

  5. Impact Type: Whether it drives traffic, backlinks, or visibility.

You can sort, filter, and plan your launch in minutes instead of weeks.


How to Use It

  • Prepare your materials. Have your logo, website, tagline, and product description ready.

  • Prioritize high-impact sites. Sort by Domain Authority or category to target the most valuable listings first.

  • Submit carefully. Follow each platform’s guidelines. The fastest way to lose momentum is to get blacklisted.

  • Work smarter. Hire a virtual assistant to handle the submissions so you can focus on building your product.

This list doesn’t just tell you where to post. It helps you design a smarter distribution system.


Why This Resource Works

Getting attention is no longer about shouting louder. It’s about showing up where your audience already is.

With over 350 vetted platforms, you can:

✅ Reach journalists and media outlets like TechCrunch, Mashable, and VentureBeat.
