Startup Launch Checklist: 100 Platforms to Submit to on Day One

The first 30 days after launch are your highest-leverage window for platform presence building. Novelty attracts attention, and that attention converts to reviews and traffic that compounds for years.

## Day 1 — Manual High-Priority Submissions

Product Hunt (full launch post with gallery and description), Hacker News (Show HN post), G2 (create vendor account), Capterra (product listing), Crunchbase (company profile), AngelList (startup profile).

These six platforms drive the most immediate traffic and require careful, personalized submissions.

## Day 2-3 — Software Directories (Automated)

Run your first automated campaign targeting 40-50 software directories: AlternativeTo, SaaSHub, Crozdesk, Sourceforge, Stackshare, Slant, Serchen, FinancesOnline, and others.

Setup: 45 minutes. Campaign runtime: 3-4 hours.

## Day 4-5 — Startup Databases (Automated)

Submit to startup discovery platforms: BetaList, Startup Buffer, F6S, Launching Next, StartupBase, Indie Hackers, and 15-20 similar platforms.

## Day 6-7 — Press Release Distribution (Automated)

Write one launch press release. Distribute to 50 PR sites automatically using [Fillnex](https://platform-marketing-brand-presence-200-sites).

## Week 2 — Review Generation

With listings live, begin requesting reviews from beta users. G2 and Capterra reviews within the first 30 days significantly improve category ranking.
