Killer Startups
An old startup blog-directory hybrid. Still crawled. Still a form.
Killer Startups has published startup write-ups and listings for years. The domain still carries authority. The audience is not sitting around waiting for your launch day.
Submit if you want the URL. Do not wait for comments. Do not treat a listing as press.
Evergreen listing
Should you launch on Killer Startups?
List here. Do not treat Killer Startups as launch day.
Killer Startups is a catalog page, not a hunter room. There is no 18-hour comment thread to win. The value is a crawlable URL, a possible backlink (Often cited as dofollow from a high-DR domain — verify), and showing up when someone — or an assistant — compares tools.
Do this on a quiet afternoon, with the same one-liner you used on AlternativeTo and your homepage. Paying for a featured slot before the free listing exists is usually backwards.
When: Any week. Best in week 0–1 so the page exists before humans arrive from a board.
Launch here if
- A high-DR extra listing
- Startups that already have a story to paste
- GEO coverage, not a spike
Skip if
- Your primary launch
- Paying for a ‘review’ you have not read the terms for
- Products with no public URL
This page answers Killer Startups only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.
