Submit your tool to Startup Collections

A WordPress site that groups tools for founders into named collections such as Developer Tools, Build a Website and SEO. Submissions go through an embedded Google Form with a free queue and a $10 skip option.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free queue, or $10 to skip it; ads from $20/month

Is Startup Collections worth it?

Weak value today. Product links on resource pages carry rel=nofollow, the newest resource in the site's own data is from October 2021, and several featured rows are affiliate links. A free submission costs five minutes but may never be published. Skip the $10 option unless you confirm with the owner that new listings still go live.

Who should submit to Startup Collections?

In theory suits tools for early founders: no-code builders, design, SEO and productivity apps. In practice it suits nobody chasing SEO value or traffic, since links are nofollow and the catalogue has not grown in years.
