How do I get my launch onto the billboard?

The billboard ranks launches by dollars contributed. Join with a minimum $5 to climb this separate paid leaderboard.

Updated

Your own board, your own rules

The billboard lives at /leaderboards/billboard and ranks every launch by the total money its founder has put in. Unlike votes, verification or Domain Rating, this is flagged clearly as a paid ranking. It sits apart from the community leaderboard and Launch of the Week.

Stacking contributions

You set the amount in US dollars (minimum: $5). Each time you add funds, they stack on top of what went before. The board sorts by total spend—highest lift-off first. Once you contribute, you stay on the board.

Two ways to join

If your launch is already live, sign in, head to /account/listings, find the listing and tap "Upgrades and extras". You'll see Billboard there. Enter your US dollar amount and launch.

Alternatively, the billboard option appears during the plan step as you submit your launch.

What it does—and does not do

Money on the billboard does not unlock votes from the community, does not bend Launch of the Week, and does not shift any other ranking. Promo codes are never applied to billboard contributions. These systems are fully separate and each one is labelled so you know which leaderboard is which.

Questions people ask

Do I need a live launch to contribute to the billboard?
Yes. Your listing must be live before you can enter a contribution via /account/listings.
Can I add more money to the billboard later?
Yes. Log in, open /account/listings, select your listing and choose "Upgrades and extras". New contributions combine with your running total.
Does billboard spending change my vote count or other rankings?
No. The billboard is labelled as paid ranking and operates separately from community votes, Launch of the Week, verification and Domain Rating.
