Startup Stash
A huge curated index of tools for startups. Get in the right shelf.
Startup Stash catalogs tools by job (analytics, CRM, launch, and so on). Founders browse it when they are buying tools, which is high intent and low volume per listing. Curation means you may wait or get declined.
Submit once with a clear category. Do not treat a paid listing as a launch campaign.
Evergreen listing
Should you launch on Startup Stash?
List here. Do not treat Startup Stash as launch day.
Startup Stash 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 nofollow on free; paid may differ — 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
- Tools other startups buy
- A high-DR directory URL
- Category SEO (‘best CRM for startups’ adjacent)
Skip if
- Consumer social apps
- Paying before AlternativeTo exists
- Expecting comments
This page answers Startup Stash only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

Pick one category that matches how founders search
‘Launch platforms’ vs ‘email tools’ vs ‘analytics.’ Wrong shelf is a wasted fee.
Tips
- If the fee is real, inspect a live listing’s rel attribute first.
- This is a directory for your tool, not a place to announce a consumer app.
