## About

Spot Startups is a startup discovery and launch platform for founders who want visitors to find their startups, SaaS products and AI tools. Founders submit a startup for free and get a listing, a category placement and the option to earn a dofollow backlink. Visitors vote, and those votes decide what trends on the homepage and in each category. To earn dofollow, the site asks makers to add a dofollow link back to Spot Startups on their own site. A paid Growth Gap Report, a manual review of onboarding, functionality, mobile experience, trust signals and findability, is offered after submitting. The pages do not state a review time, whether pre-launch products are accepted, or any advertising options.
