Karma & Launches

What is Launch Day

Snikus doesn't run Seasons or leaderboard resets. Instead, every startup gets a real Launch Day — a specific calendar date the founder schedules, the same idea as launching on Product Hunt, built right into Snikus instead of somewhere else.

How it works

One launch per startup, on the day you pick (scheduling for a given day closes at a fixed daily cutoff). On that day, your startup appears on the Launch Day board alongside everything else launching the same day, and the whole community can upvote it. Best of the day wins — there's no hidden formula, just real upvotes from real people.

What happens after Launch Day ends

Nothing about your startup disappears. Unlike a one-day spotlight that fades the next morning, your startup keeps a permanent profile — page, team, traction, everything — and it keeps counting toward the rolling This Week and This Month leaderboards for as long as it falls inside those windows.

Can I relaunch?

Yes — a free account needs a moderator to review what's changed before relaunching. A Verified founder skips that review and can relaunch every 5 days.

Frequently asked

Is Launch Day the same as a Season?

No. A Season was a repeating, resetting competition from an earlier version of Snikus. Launch Day is a single real date per startup with no reset involved.

What if two startups launch the same day?

They both appear on that day's board and are ranked purely by upvotes received that day.
