About
LaunchNest is a product launch platform for founders and makers that runs launches as a community-voted tournament. On the 1st and 16th of every month, 16 products are drawn into a knockout bracket, and the community votes head-to-head over four rounds of 72-hour voting in a 12-day cycle. Listing is free, and the pricing page says it is free forever with a nofollow link. Submitting requires signing in with an emailed code, and the pricing page says a badge is required to publish. Paid Featured placements start from $19, and paid tiers and tournament top-3 finishers earn a dofollow backlink. Homepage Spotlight advertising is sold for $39 for 30 days. Founders should know that the bracket is seeded from the current top 16 by upvotes, so listings need upvotes before each seeding.
How to submit
Sign in with an emailed code, add your product name, tagline, link and a short pitch, then install and verify the badge.
