StartupBase Platform Help

StartupBase平台帮助指南

Helps the user submit to, optimize listings on, and get the most from StartupBase — a community-driven startup discovery platform where makers and early adopters share and discuss products.
帮助用户完成StartupBase平台的产品提交、列表优化，并充分利用该平台——这是一个由社区驱动的初创企业发现平台，创作者和早期用户可在此分享、讨论产品。

Step 1 — Gather context

步骤1 — 收集背景信息

If 
references/learnings.md
exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
Ask the user:
  1. What do you need help with?
    • A) Submitting a product to StartupBase
    • B) Understanding the backlink value (DR39 dofollow)
    • C) Understanding the review queue and timing
    • D) Comparing StartupBase with other directories
    • E) Something else — describe it
  2. What's your product?
    • A) SaaS / software tool
    • B) AI tool / ML product
    • C) Mobile app
    • D) Browser extension
    • E) Hardware / IoT
    • F) Something else
  3. What's your primary goal?
    • A) SEO backlinks (dofollow)
    • B) Community visibility and early adopters
    • C) Newsletter exposure (Spark newsletter)
    • D) All of the above
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
若
references/learnings.md
文件存在，请先阅读其中积累的相关知识。
向用户询问：
  1. 你需要哪方面的帮助？
    • A) 向StartupBase提交产品
    • B) 了解外链价值（DR39 dofollow）
    • C) 了解审核队列及时间安排
    • D) 对比StartupBase与其他目录平台
    • E) 其他需求——请描述
  2. 你的产品类型是什么？
    • A) SaaS/软件工具
    • B) AI工具/机器学习产品
    • C) 移动应用
    • D) 浏览器扩展
    • E) 硬件/IoT设备
    • F) 其他类型
  3. 你的主要目标是什么？
    • A) SEO外链（dofollow）
    • B) 社区曝光与早期用户
    • C) 通讯推广（Spark通讯）
    • D) 以上全部
**如果用户的请求已提供大部分背景信息，请直接跳至相关步骤。**先基于合理假设（需明确说明）给出最佳答案，最后仅询问1-2个最关键的澄清问题。

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

步骤2 — 转介或直接解答

If the request maps to a different skill, route:
  • Multi-directory launch strategy → 
    /sales-launch-directory
  • Product Hunt launch → 
    /sales-producthunt
  • Email marketing to subscribers → 
    /sales-email-marketing
  • Landing page optimization → 
    /sales-checkout
  • Audience growth strategy → 
    /sales-audience-growth
  • Other specific directory platforms → hand off to that platform's skill
Otherwise, answer directly from the StartupBase reference below.
若请求对应其他技能，进行转介：
  • 多目录发布策略 → 
    /sales-launch-directory
  • Product Hunt发布 → 
    /sales-producthunt
  • 订阅用户邮件营销 → 
    /sales-email-marketing
  • 着陆页优化 → 
    /sales-checkout
  • 用户增长策略 → 
    /sales-audience-growth
  • 其他特定目录平台 → 转交至对应平台的技能模块
否则，直接参考下方StartupBase平台资料进行解答。

When StartupBase makes sense

StartupBase适用场景

Good fit:
  • You want a free dofollow backlink (DR39) with minimal effort
  • You're launching a tech product (SaaS, AI, mobile app, hardware, browser extension)
  • You're doing a broad directory submission sweep and want cumulative backlinks
  • You have time to wait 2-3 months for the free queue
Not ideal:
  • You need instant listing — use ProductBurst, SoloPush, or JustGotFound instead
  • You need high-DR backlinks — Fazier (DR81), Uneed (DR74), or Product Hunt (DR91) are better
  • Your product isn't tech-focused — StartupBase only accepts technology startups
  • You need traffic — ~260 monthly visits means negligible referral traffic
适合场景：
  • 你想要以最小成本获取免费的dofollow外链（DR39）
  • 你正在推出科技类产品（SaaS、AI、移动应用、硬件、浏览器扩展）
  • 你正在进行广泛的目录提交，想要积累外链
  • 你有时间等待2-3个月的免费审核队列
不适合场景：
  • 你需要即时上线——请改用ProductBurst、SoloPush或JustGotFound
  • 你需要高DR外链——Fazier（DR81）、Uneed（DR74）或Product Hunt（DR91）更合适
  • 你的产品非科技类——StartupBase仅接受科技类初创企业
  • 你需要流量——每月约260次访问意味着 referral 流量可忽略不计

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

步骤4 — 可操作指南

For users submitting (free tier)

针对免费版提交用户

  1. Create an account via Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook at startupbase.io
  2. Prepare materials — product name, description, screenshots, working product URL on a custom domain
  3. Ensure you meet all criteria — tech startup, public product, professional website, newsletter signup on your site
  4. Submit via the submission page on startupbase.io
  5. Wait 2-3 months for editorial review (first-come, first-served)
  6. Add UTM tracking: 
    ?utm_source=startupbase&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch
Note: DR39 dofollow is on the lower end of directory backlinks — higher than JustGotFound (DR23) and Awesome Indie (DR~19-31), but lower than most other directories. The main value is cumulative when combined with other directory submissions.
  1. 创建账号：通过Twitter、LinkedIn或Facebook登录startupbase.io
  2. 准备材料——产品名称、描述、截图、自定义域名下的可用产品URL
  3. 确认符合所有要求——科技类初创企业、公开产品、专业网站、网站包含通讯订阅入口
  4. 通过提交页面提交：访问startupbase.io的提交页面完成提交
  5. 等待2-3个月：等待编辑审核（先到先得）
  6. 添加UTM追踪：
    ?utm_source=startupbase&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch
注意：DR39的dofollow外链在目录平台中属于较低水平——高于JustGotFound（DR23）和Awesome Indie（DR~19-31），但低于大多数其他目录平台。主要价值在于与其他目录提交结合后的累积效应。

For users considering premium

考虑高级版的用户

Premium listing gets you featured within 24 hours instead of waiting 2-3 months. The pricing isn't publicly listed — contact support@startupbase.io to inquire.
Worth considering if:
  • You're coordinating a multi-platform launch and need timing control
  • The free queue timeline doesn't work for your launch plan
Probably not worth it if:
  • Your primary goal is backlinks — the DR39 backlink value is the same whether free or paid
  • You're budget-constrained — spend on higher-DR platforms like Fazier ($39 for DR81) or Open Launch ($12 for DR65) instead
高级版列表可让你在24小时内获得推荐位，无需等待2-3个月。定价未公开——请联系support@startupbase.io咨询。
值得考虑的情况：
  • 你正在协调多平台发布，需要控制时间节点
  • 免费队列的时间安排不符合你的发布计划
不值得考虑的情况：
  • 你的主要目标是获取外链——无论免费还是付费，DR39外链的价值相同
  • 你预算有限——应将预算投入到更高DR的平台，如Fazier（DR81，39美元）或Open Launch（DR65，12美元）

For multi-directory launchers

多目录发布用户

StartupBase fits into Phase 3 — Free editorial queues in a multi-directory strategy. Submit on Day 1 alongside other free-queue platforms (CtrlAlt.cc, MicroLaunch, LaunchingNext, Uneed free) and let it go live whenever the review completes. The DR39 backlink adds to your cumulative backlink portfolio. Don't rely on it for traffic — ~260 monthly visits means you'll get single-digit referrals at best.
在多目录发布策略中，StartupBase适合第三阶段——免费编辑队列。在第1天与其他免费队列平台（CtrlAlt.cc、MicroLaunch、LaunchingNext、Uneed免费版）一同提交，等待审核完成后上线即可。DR39外链可丰富你的累积外链组合。不要依赖它获取流量——每月约260次访问意味着最多只能带来个位数的 referral 用户。

Gotchas

注意事项

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about features and pricing that may be outdated.
  • Platform is being redesigned. As of early 2026, StartupBase was undergoing a v2 rebuild (signups were closed until January 31, 2026). The new version may have different features, pricing, or submission processes. Verify current state before submitting.
  • Very low traffic. ~260 monthly visits per LaunchDirectories data. This is primarily a backlink play, not a traffic source. Set expectations accordingly.
  • Social auth only. You must sign in via Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook — there's no email/password option. If you don't have accounts on any of these, you can't submit.
  • Strict tech-only policy. Blogs, online stores, local businesses, courses, and consultancy services are explicitly rejected. No exceptions stated.
  • First-time submissions only. If your product was previously featured on StartupBase, you cannot resubmit it. This differs from platforms like Uneed that allow relaunches.
  • Premium pricing isn't public. The paid featured option exists but pricing isn't listed. Contact support for a quote.
  • Newsletter signup required on your site. StartupBase requires your website to have a newsletter signup mechanism. Products without one may be rejected.
  • Self-improving: If you discover something not covered here, append it to 
    references/learnings.md
    with today's date.
基于研究的最佳信息——请仔细查看，尤其是可能过时的功能和定价相关内容。
  • 平台正在重新设计：截至2026年初，StartupBase正在进行v2版本重建（注册通道关闭至2026年1月31日）。新版本可能有不同的功能、定价或提交流程。提交前请确认当前状态。
  • 流量极低：根据LaunchDirectories数据，每月约260次访问。这主要是一个获取外链的渠道，而非流量来源。请合理预期。
  • 仅支持社交账号登录：你必须通过Twitter、LinkedIn或Facebook登录——无邮箱/密码登录选项。如果你没有这些平台的账号，则无法提交。
  • 严格的科技类专属政策：博客、在线商店、本地商家、课程和咨询服务明确被拒绝。无例外说明。
  • 仅接受首次提交：如果你的产品此前已在StartupBase被推荐过，则无法重新提交。这与Uneed等允许重新发布的平台不同。
  • 高级版定价未公开：付费推荐位选项存在，但价格未列出。请联系支持团队获取报价。
  • 网站需包含通讯订阅入口：StartupBase要求你的网站有通讯订阅机制。无此机制的产品可能被拒。
  • 自我更新：如果发现此处未涵盖的内容，请将其添加到
    references/learnings.md
    中，并标注日期。

Examples

示例

Example 1: Submit a SaaS tool for backlinks

示例1：提交SaaS工具以获取外链

User says: "I want to submit my SaaS to StartupBase for SEO backlinks" Skill does:
  1. Explains DR39 dofollow — free but on the lower end of directory backlinks
  2. Walks through submission requirements (tech only, custom domain, social auth)
  3. Notes the 2-3 month free queue wait
  4. Recommends submitting as part of a broader directory sweep for cumulative backlink value
  5. Suggests higher-DR directories (Fazier DR81, Uneed DR74) for primary backlink goals Result: Product submitted with realistic expectations about DR39 value and timeline
用户提问："我想把我的SaaS提交到StartupBase以获取SEO外链" 技能处理:
  1. 解释DR39 dofollow外链——免费但在目录平台中处于较低水平
  2. 讲解提交要求（仅科技类、自定义域名、社交账号登录）
  3. 说明免费队列需等待2-3个月
  4. 建议将其作为广泛目录提交的一部分，以累积外链价值
  5. 推荐更高DR的目录平台（Fazier DR81、Uneed DR74）作为主要外链获取渠道 结果：产品提交成功，用户对DR39的价值和时间线有合理预期

Example 2: Evaluate if StartupBase is worth the effort

示例2：评估StartupBase是否值得投入

User says: "Is it worth submitting to StartupBase? The DR seems low" Skill does:
  1. Confirms DR39 is on the lower end — higher than JustGotFound (DR23) but lower than most directories
  2. Explains cumulative backlink value — every dofollow helps, even at DR39
  3. Notes the submission takes 5-10 minutes if you already have materials ready
  4. Points out the 2-3 month queue means it's a set-and-forget play
  5. Recommends it as part of Phase 3 (free editorial queues) alongside higher-value submissions Result: Informed decision with clear tradeoff analysis (low effort, low DR, cumulative value)
用户提问："提交到StartupBase值得吗？DR看起来很低" 技能处理:
  1. 确认DR39处于较低水平——高于JustGotFound（DR23）但低于大多数目录平台
  2. 解释累积外链价值——每个dofollow外链都有帮助，即使是DR39
  3. 说明如果材料准备齐全，提交仅需5-10分钟
  4. 指出2-3个月的队列意味着这是一个“提交后无需关注”的任务
  5. 建议将其作为第三阶段（免费编辑队列）的一部分，与更高价值的提交一同进行 结果：用户做出明智决策，清晰了解权衡点（低投入、低DR、累积价值）

Example 3: Figure out why submission was rejected

示例3：排查提交被拒原因

User says: "My product got rejected from StartupBase, what went wrong?" Skill does:
  1. Reviews the strict selection criteria — tech startup, custom domain, public product, professional website, newsletter signup
  2. Identifies common rejection reasons (not a tech product, subdomain only, no newsletter signup on site)
  3. Recommends fixing the specific issue and resubmitting if it's a first-time submission
  4. Notes that if previously featured, resubmission isn't allowed Result: Clear diagnosis of likely rejection reason with actionable fix
用户提问："我的产品被StartupBase拒绝了，哪里出问题了？" 技能处理:
  1. 回顾严格的入选标准——科技类初创企业、自定义域名、公开产品、专业网站、通讯订阅入口
  2. 指出常见被拒原因（非科技类产品、仅使用子域名、网站无通讯订阅入口）
  3. 建议修复特定问题后重新提交（如果是首次提交）
  4. 说明如果产品此前已被推荐，则无法重新提交 结果：明确诊断可能的被拒原因，并提供可操作的修复方案

Troubleshooting

故障排除

Submission stuck in queue for months

提交在队列中停滞数月

Symptom: Submitted weeks/months ago, no update on status Cause: Free queue is 2-3 months with first-come, first-served processing. High submission volume can extend this. Solution: Check your dashboard for status updates. If urgent, consider the premium featured option (contact support@startupbase.io for pricing). Meanwhile, submit to instant-listing platforms (ProductBurst, SoloPush, DevHunt) to get live immediately while waiting.
症状：提交数周/数月后仍无状态更新 原因：免费队列需2-3个月，按先到先得处理。提交量过高可能延长等待时间。 解决方案：查看你的仪表盘获取状态更新。如果紧急，可考虑高级推荐位选项（联系support@startupbase.io咨询定价）。同时，提交到即时上线平台（ProductBurst、SoloPush、DevHunt），在等待期间立即获得曝光。

Can't create an account

无法创建账号

Symptom: Unable to sign up for StartupBase Cause: StartupBase only supports social auth (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook) — no email/password option. Also, signups may be temporarily closed during the v2 redesign. Solution: Ensure you're using one of the supported social accounts. If signups are still closed post-January 2026, follow @startupbaseio or @attacomsian on X for reopening announcements. Subscribe to the Spark newsletter for updates.
症状：无法注册StartupBase账号 原因：StartupBase仅支持社交账号登录（Twitter、LinkedIn、Facebook）——无邮箱/密码选项。此外，在v2版本重建期间注册通道可能暂时关闭。 解决方案：确保使用支持的社交账号登录。如果2026年1月后注册通道仍关闭，请关注X平台的@startupbaseio或@attacomsian获取重新开放通知。订阅Spark通讯获取更新。

Product rejected despite being a tech startup

产品为科技类但仍被拒

Symptom: Submission rejected even though it's a legitimate tech product Cause: StartupBase has strict criteria beyond "tech startup" — must have custom domain, professional website, newsletter signup, and never been previously featured. Solution: Verify all criteria: (1) custom domain (not just a subdomain), (2) professional website describing features, (3) newsletter signup mechanism on your site, (4) product wasn't previously featured. Fix any gaps and resubmit.
症状：提交的合法科技类产品被拒 原因：除“科技类初创企业”外，StartupBase还有严格标准——必须拥有自定义域名、专业网站、通讯订阅入口，且从未被推荐过。 解决方案：验证所有标准：(1) 自定义域名（不仅是子域名），(2) 包含功能介绍的专业网站，(3) 网站有通讯订阅机制，(4) 产品此前未被推荐。修复所有问题后重新提交。
