## About

Smol Startup is a product discovery directory for startups, SaaS products and AI tools, aimed at founders who want their launches seen. The homepage shows products launching today and yesterday, and the Submit For Free button is the entry point for listing. The About Us page describes four steps: submit a product with a description, category, logo and link, then a team review, publication, and optional launch packages. Sponsor placements are one-time payments: a sidebar costs $29 for one month, $59 for three months or $199 for one year, and a newsletter slot costs $89 per month. The DR Boost page sells 5 to 50 dofollow backlinks from DR 30-65 sites, starting at $30, and states a refund if Domain Rating does not improve within 90 days. The pages do not state a review time, so check the boost and sponsor terms before buying.

## How to submit

Add a product with a description, category, logo and link, then the team reviews it, publishes it, and offers optional launch packages.
