Show HN: Startuplister – A startup directory listing service

  • In the vein of all the meta threads about directories and places to submit your startup, (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7525584, https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup, etc) i've compiled all of the directory submission forms into one form, and will submit your startup to the directories for a small fee.

  • I'm also very curious to find out how much you made today by being on hackernews today :) Would be awesome if you could share that tomorrow.

  • This reminds me of the "directory submission" services SEOs used years ago. Personally I doubt it's worth submitting to more than a few, Crunchbase, Angellist etc. In any event, I've never seen any significant traffic from these.

  • Is this basically a linkbuilding tool for SEO purposes? Do you have any stats on typical traffic your customers receive through submission to these sites?

  • If your startup is focussing on startups then maybe this could be of use. But I can't see the general appeal.

    Besides adding a list of what sites you syndicate to, maybe startuplister could also provide a list of submitted sites (with an API too).

    I can see the value, if you are going to list your startup on all of these services yourself by hand. But I do wonder about the intrinsic value of being listed on them too.

  • 10 Years ago exist Search-Engine-Lister that do the same, today we have Startup-Lister, funny.

    Nothing against your Service, 50 Dollars are a good price.

  • Really wish I could save my startup form answers (to local storage) without submitting the form. I have to leave, and can't finish the form right now. Should be easy using something like http://sisyphus-js.herokuapp.com/

  • Two questions:

    1) Didn't see the HN discount, any chance that can be applied to my account retroactively? tim@onarbor.com.

    2) There is alot to fill out on this one form. Can I save a partially completed application? What happens when I hit the submit button?

  • This is totally worth the cost. I started manually trying to post to all those sites and it's just not worth it for me. Too time consuming. 50$ is pretty cheap. Great job

  • Very cool service crixlet. Surprised ProductHunt isn't on there.

    Also, the Useful Resources links at the bottom need hrefs and growthackers should be growthhackers :)

  • Looks interesting!

    It would be useful to have some sense of the relative importance of the sites on your list. Maybe Alexa ranks, as a start? Or data from e.g. compete.com

  • Looks like I will be your customer in a few days for this: http://ownmycopy.com/

  • Is this built on top of Mechanical Turk? Whenever I see something listed as "manual" my mind immediately goes there.

  • This is fantastic. I will be a customer in next couple weeks. If you could add more marketing services you can up-sell me.

  • Great service, signup follows soon.

    BTW, you have mixed content (HTTP vs HTTPS) on your signup page.

  • I'm somewhat surprised that Crunchbase is not on here...

  • Great service, I will surely use you within 3 months!

  • "Enter at least keywords"

  • You should add startuptabs.com

  • seems like this link is dead?? did you shutdown the service
