Submit your tool to Tiny Startups

Tiny Startups is a curated launch platform and directory for indie makers, with a weekly upvote leaderboard and a newsletter. A maker submits the product URL, then either verifies with a post on X or pays for an instant listing.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free with an X post; instant dofollow listing £69

Is Tiny Startups worth it?

Worth it for indie and bootstrapped products: the free listing costs one post on X mentioning @ratheejaisal. Free listings get a nofollow link; the £69 instant listing switches it to dofollow and skips the queue. The site sells many add ons (reviews, press releases, partner backlinks), so decide in advance what you want. The newsletter feature at £149 is the only add on that buys real reader reach, by the site's own numbers.

Who should submit to Tiny Startups?

Suits indie hackers, solo founders and small SaaS, AI and productivity tools that want a launch day and a lifetime listing page. Less useful for enterprise software, agencies, or makers without an X account who do not want to pay.

  • A live product website
  • Name, tagline, category, description, features and pricing model
  • For the free route, a post on X from your main account mentioning @ratheejaisal
  • Optional revenue data, self reported or read from Stripe

  3. Choose upgrades or continue with the free listing
  4. For free, post the suggested note on X mentioning @ratheejaisal to verify
