25 Places Where You Can Launch Your Startup and Side Projects
In the tech world, there is a common saying that building a product or a startup is just 20% of the work. The remaining you ask? It lies in distribution.
Your product's success depends on how well it is distributed and marketed to your target audience.
Getting users and customers in the early phases can be challenging.
This is why I have compiled a list of 25 (mostly free) startup directories where you can launch your startup or product. By submitting your startup website to these platforms, you can easily gain exposure and attract early traction.
So, let’s dive right in!
I run a freelance marketplace, Flexiple, where we help top devs find quality jobs. If you're interested, you can apply here OR you can check out the current openings here.
