What is Startup Fame?

Startup Fame is a curated directory of outstanding startups and products, updated daily. List your startup to earn a high-authority do-follow backlink, get in front of founders, and grow traffic without diluting link value through unlimited cheap listings. You can also share all your startups with one startupfa.me/profile link.

How do I get featured?

Create a free account and add your startup in seconds. Enter your website URL and our AI fills in the details. Then choose Verified (free with a homepage badge) or a paid plan for instant publish and premium placement.

Yes. Verified is free when you add a Startup Fame badge to your homepage and pass review. Prefer no badge and instant listing? Upgrade to Highlight ($19/month) or Spotlight ($149/month). Compare plans at startupfa.me/pricing.

What types of startups are accepted?

We accept modern companies, micro-startups, and side projects. Every verified startup goes through quality checks so the directory and every do-follow backlink stays valuable. Review can take several business days.

What is Domain Rating (DR)?

Domain Rating (DR) measures a site’s backlink authority. Startup Fame maintains DR 80+. Stronger directory authority makes your do-follow listing link more meaningful for SEO.

What is a do-follow link?

A do-follow link can be crawled by search engines and may pass ranking signals. A no-follow link is typically ignored for ranking. Startup Fame listing links are do-follow while your startup remains listed.
