What goes in your founder profile?
Complete your founder profile to make your free listing go live. Paid launches and upgrades are not held.

Your profile at a glance
At /account/founder, you set up the founder profile shown on your listing. It needs:
- A photo and one-line description of that photo
- Your name (in full)
- Your job title or role
- Your country
- A short bio: at least 80 characters
- One personal link: your own website or a personal social profile (not company pages)
You can also add your city and a link to your founder story, but these are not required.
Free listings wait for two things
A free listing stays in queue until both conditions are met: we have verified our badge on your website, and your founder profile is complete. It is not discarded: as soon as the missing part is finished, it is released automatically. If the queue week has passed, it will go live in the following free-queue week, and we will notify you.
Paid launches are never held
A paid launch goes live immediately or in the week you selected, regardless of whether the founder profile is finished. This also applies to relaunches, the multi-site bundle, the done-for-you listing, and a free listing once you upgrade it to a paid launch. We encourage you to complete your profile because visitors see it, but it is not a requirement.
Adding co-founders
Use the Team section at /account/founder to invite co-founders. Each co-founder shows on the product listing once their own profile is complete.
