Questions about startup launch sites
Where should a new startup launch first?
How this list is put together
Each place is checked by hand: whether it takes submissions, what it costs, the link a listing gets and whether it asks for a badge. DR is Ahrefs' Domain Rating (DR 4), updated every day; search traffic is an estimate of monthly visits from search, as of the last check. Places can't pay to be added or to rank higher: the order is DR, then search traffic.
