How to launch your product on LaunchNest
LaunchNest runs a fortnightly, 16-product tournament. The community decides who wins — not a leaderboard that resets in 24 hours. Here’s how to make the most of it.
1. Submit your product
Head to the submit page and add your product: a name, a one-line tagline, your URL, a short description, a category, and a logo. It takes about two minutes and it’s free.
2. Gather upvotes
Between tournaments, products collect upvotes. When the next bracket is seeded, the top 16 by upvotes get a slot. So the work before the tournament matters — share your listing with your audience and ask for a vote.
3. Compete in the bracket
Once seeded, your product goes head-to-head across four rounds of 48-hour voting. Voters have to visit both products in a matchup before their vote counts — so a real product with a clear value proposition does well here.
4. Win the badge
The champion earns a community-voted winner badge, a permanent listing, and a dofollow backlink. Even if you don’t win, a good run puts you in front of a lot of founders and early adopters.
Tips that actually move the needle
- Make your tagline instantly understandable — voters skim.
- Use a crisp, square logo. It shows up everywhere in the bracket.
- Rally your community during the first round; momentum compounds.
- Reply to reviews and comments — engaged founders get remembered.
