What does your founder profile need?
Complete your founder profile so your free listing can go live. Paid launches don't wait.

Profile essentials for lift-off
Your mission control dashboard at /account/founder requires certain data before you can launch for free. You need:
- A photograph plus a one-line caption for it
- Your full name
- Your title or role
- Your country
- A biography of at least 80 characters
- At least one personal link (your own website or social profile; company pages do not count)
City and a founder story link are optional extras.
Why free launches sit in the launch window
A free listing remains in queue until two conditions are met: we have verified our badge on your website, and your founder profile is complete. This is not a loss—the moment you finish, your listing is released automatically. If your assigned queue week has already passed, we release it in the next free-queue week and notify you.
Paid launches: no holding pattern
Paid launches go live on your chosen date regardless of profile status. The same applies to relaunches, multi-site bundles, and done-for-you listings. When you upgrade a free listing to a full paid launch, it ignores the profile requirement too. We encourage you to complete it anyway—your profile displays on your listing—but it is not mandatory for paid options.
Bring your co-founders aboard
Invite co-founders via the Team section at /account/founder. Each appears on your product once their own profile is complete.
Questions people ask
- When will my free listing launch if my profile isn't done?
- Your listing waits in queue. Once your profile is complete and our badge is verified on your website, it is released automatically. If that week has passed, it goes live in the next free-queue week instead.
- Do I have to finish my profile if I'm paying for launch?
- No. Paid launches go live on schedule regardless of profile status. We recommend completing it because it shows on your listing, but it is not required.
- How do I add co-founders to my product?
- Go to the Team section at /account/founder and invite them. They will appear on your listing once they have completed their own founder profiles.
