Growing your startup

Creating your startup page is just the start — everything below is what keeps it active and what other founders actually see when they check in on it.

Milestones

A running roadmap of what you're building toward, marked done as you actually ship them. Visible on your startup's page as a track record, not just a promise.

Weekly check-ins

A short, regular progress update — this is the single clearest signal that a startup is actively being worked on rather than sitting idle after launch.

Team & roles

Invite co-founders or teammates by username. They need to accept before they show up publicly on your team — nobody can be added without their own confirmation.

Launch Day

Schedule a specific date for your startup's Launch Day — one launch per startup, community upvotes decide the day. There's a daily cutoff (12:00 PM) for scheduling that day's slot. Once your free launch is used, relaunching needs a moderator to sign off on what's changed; a Verified founder skips that review and can relaunch every 5 days.

Upvotes & ratings

Anyone can upvote your startup or leave a rating with feedback — both feed into Karma and your Launch Day standing. See "How rankings work" for how that's counted.

Frequently asked

Do I have to launch right away?

No — you can build out your page, post check-ins, and grow your team before ever scheduling a Launch Day.
