It lists tools that are live with a waitlist, alpha, beta or MVP, and each listing can carry a founder deal. Founders submit through the form at early.tools/submit using an email address, and no password or sign-in is needed before submitting. Paid submission starts at €19 for one week, lists the tool permanently and features it at the top for the weeks chosen, up to 8 weeks. Each extra 7 days is €1 less. Founders can instead submit for free review, where an editor reads every submission and lists strong products for nothing. The form asks for founder X and LinkedIn profiles and a deal. Sponsor banners cost €499/month. ## How to submit Fill in the submission form, which you can edit before it goes live. Then either pay from €19 to be listed permanently and featured at the top for the weeks you pick, or submit for free review by an editor.
