Why is my free listing waiting?
Free listings need a complete founder profile and verified badge before going live. Paid launches publish straight away.

What your founder profile needs
When you set up a founder profile at /account/founder, include a photo with a one-line caption, your full name, your job title, your country and a biography of at least 80 characters. Add one or more personal links—your own website or social profile (not your company pages). City is optional, and so is a link to your founder story.
Why your free listing waits
A free listing goes live only when two things are done: you've placed our badge on your website and your founder profile is filled in completely. Until then it sits in the queue. Your listing is not lost. The moment you finish the missing piece, it releases right away. If that happens after its queue week has ended, the listing goes live in the next free-queue week and we send you a message.
Paid launches go live straight away
If you choose a paid launch, it publishes at once or in the week you pick, whether or not your profile is complete. The same applies to a relaunch, the multi-site bundle, the done-for-you listing, and a free listing that you upgrade to a paid launch. We ask you to complete your profile because it shows on your listing, but it is not required.
Add co-founders
Invite co-founders from the Team section in /account/founder. They appear on your product once they finish their own profile.
