r/startupaccelerator members get priority review — add your username so moderators can verify your community standing.

Projects whose maker opens the conversation get replies — an empty thread invites nobody.

Founder email and request metadata are retained for moderation and are never shown publicly.

Before you submit

Is it free to submit a startup?

Yes. Listing a project in the StartupAccelerator directory is free, and it always includes a permanent profile page, community upvoting and eligibility for the weekly newsletter. Featured placement on the front page is separately purchasable and is always labelled SPONSORED.

Who can submit a project?

Any founder or maker with something real that people can use. It does not need revenue, funding or a finished product, but it does need a working public URL — a landing page with a waitlist counts, a private repository does not.

How long does review take?

Every submission is reviewed by hand, usually within 24 hours. You get an email when the project goes live. Confirming your founder email speeds the review up, because it is one fewer thing to verify.

What do I need before I start?

A URL, a one-line pitch and a short description. Paste the URL first and the form fills most of itself from your own site, including the logo and preview image, so a typical submission takes about two minutes.

What happens after it is approved?

The project gets a permanent profile page, appears in the directory and the category hub, becomes votable on the leaderboard, and is eligible to be hand-picked for the Monday newsletter. You also get an embeddable badge for your own site.
