About

The Startup Project is a free resource site for early-stage founders, growth-stage entrepreneurs, solo entrepreneurs and co-founders. It publishes 32 free templates, including pitch decks, financial models, cap tables and runway calculators, along with 7 learning paths and founder interviews. It also runs a startup directory where founders can submit a listing for free. To submit, fill out the form with founder name, email, company name, website, tagline, industry, stage, monthly revenue, team size and a description of the startup. The site says submissions are reviewed within a few business days and that submission does not guarantee publication. Listings are free, and the only requirement is a backlink from your website to your listing. The site does not say whether that link is dofollow or nofollow, and it lists no paid listing tiers or advertising options. Founders should confirm the backlink requirement before submitting.

How to submit

Fill out the submission form with your startup details, wait for review, then the listing goes live in the directory. An optional Featured badge can be added to your site.
