Introducing StartupBase 2 🎉

Nine years ago, in 2017, I launched

Better product pages

Products deserve more than a logo, a tagline, and a few links.

StartupBase 2 gives founders richer product pages with more context, media, launch history, team information, and supporting details.

The goal is simple:

Help visitors understand a product faster.

Discovery beyond launch day

One thing always bothered me about product launches.

A founder can spend months building something, launch it, and then watch the attention disappear in 24 hours.

That never felt right.

StartupBase 2 places much greater emphasis on ongoing discovery through , and topics.

A good product should continue getting discovered long after launch day.

AI Launch Assistant

This is probably my favorite addition.

Submitting a product can be surprisingly tedious.

Founders already have enough work to do.

So we built an AI Launch Assistant that can collect information about a product from across the web and help create a ready-to-submit listing in seconds.

Instead of filling out everything manually, founders can start with a much better foundation.

We also use AI to help review submissions and determine whether they are a good fit for StartupBase.

It is not perfect.

Sometimes it gets things wrong.

Oops. 👀

But it makes the process dramatically faster and helps founders get answers much sooner.

Reviews and community feedback

Discovery is better when there is context.

StartupBase 2 expands reviews and comments so founders can gather feedback and users can make better decisions.

Products are easier to evaluate when real people can share their experiences.

A blog, finally

For years, StartupBase was mostly about launches.

I wanted it to become more than that.

With StartupBase 2, we are launching a dedicated .
