Why your free listing waits for a complete founder profile
What you need to add to your founder profile, and when a free listing goes live.
Updated
setting up your founder profile
Your profile at /account/founder needs a few things. Add a photo with a one-line note about it. Give your full name, your title or role, and your country. Write a short bio of at least 80 characters. Include at least one personal link—your own website or a personal social profile, not company pages. City is optional, as is a founder story link.
when free listings release
A free listing waits until two conditions are met: our badge is verified on your website, and your founder profile is finished. The listing isn't lost during this time. Once you complete the missing part, it is released automatically. If its queue week has already passed, it releases in the next free-queue week; you'll hear from us when.
paid launches release straight away
Paid launches, relaunches, the multi-site bundle and done-for-you listings all go live at once—or in your chosen week—regardless of profile status. A free listing that you upgrade to a paid launch also releases without waiting. We'd welcome a completed profile, since it appears on your listing, though it remains optional.
adding co-founders
Invite co-founders via the Team section at /account/founder. They show on the product page once their own profiles are complete.
