My Experience
Launching Next is one of those “steady, older” launch directories: not as explosive as Product Hunt, but useful as a durable listing that can send occasional discovery traffic and an SEO link. The big win here is consistency—if your positioning is clear, it’s a solid place to be indexed and found over time.
If you’re trying to stack distribution (PH + directories + newsletters), Launching Next is a good supporting channel rather than the main event.
Submission Process
- Go to the submission page and fill in:
- Startup name + URL
- A short headline (they ask for ~5–8 words)
- A longer description (up to 2,500 characters)
- 5–10 tags
- Add your contact details (name + email) so they can notify you if it’s published.
- Submit the form.
Tips for Success
- Treat the headline like ad copy. Keep it concrete: who it’s for + outcome.
- Pick tags that match real searches. Use a mix of category + use-case tags.
- Make the first sentence of your description “obvious.” What it does, in plain English.
- Add a strong landing page URL. Your listing is simple—your landing page has to convert.
- Use it as part of a directory bundle. Pair it with 5–20 other launches for compounding effects.
