Sponsor a spot on the launch directories guide
Founders come here to decide where to launch. A sponsor spot puts your product in front of them, labelled, beside the lists and never inside them. Sponsors are how the guide stays free.
Where a sponsor spot shows
The hub spot
The first thing under the heading of All places, the page most founders land on. Your logo, one line about your product and your offer.
The top of a list
One row above the ranked places on one list. Pick the list your buyers read:
The rules
A sponsor never changes the ranking.
- Every spot is labelled Sponsored with your name, and its link is marked as paid (rel="sponsored").
- A sponsor never moves a place, never gets Our pick and never counts in a list's numbers.
- Each spot runs one sponsor at a time. While a spot is unsold, it shows LaunchList's own note, labelled as ours.
- No sponsor on a place's own page, in a launch plan, or while someone searches.
- We only take products that help people launch: tools, services and communities for founders.

Questions
How much does a sponsor spot cost?
It depends on the spot and the dates, so we reply with the price for the dates you ask for. There is no public price list yet.
How long does a spot run?
For the dates you book. It switches on the first day and ends by itself after the last one.
Can a sponsor rank higher or get Our pick?
No. A sponsor spot sits outside the ranking. It never moves a place, never gets Our pick and never counts in a list's numbers, and the places a list or an alternatives page shows are the same with or without a sponsor.
What does the spot show?
Your logo, your product's name, one short line and a link, labelled Sponsored with your name. The link is marked as paid for search engines.
Who can sponsor?
Products that help people launch: tools, services and communities for founders.
