Tiny Startups
A launch board whose prize is a founder newsletter.
Tiny Startups pairs a daily-style board with a newsletter aimed at bootstrapped founders and early adopters. The platform has claimed on the order of 20,000 founders on that list; treat the number as directional. The newsletter feature is the actual prize.
Standard listing is free. Featured slots have been priced in the hundreds of pounds. Dofollow backlinks are commonly cited in the DR 60+ range. The audience is unusually specific: people who build and buy small internet businesses.
If your product serves founders, indie hackers, or solopreneurs, this is high-signal. If you sell into HR, healthcare, or local services, the votes will be friendly and the conversions will be near zero.
Scheduled daily board
Should you launch on Tiny Startups?
Yes — this is a fairer daily board than Product Hunt if you have no private hunter list.
Tiny Startups is an actual launch surface: a date, a ranking or homepage slot, and comments. Cost: Free standard listing. Featured slots reported around £199–£499.
Do not expect Product Hunt volume. Do expect a lasting page and a room small enough that silence is obvious. Stay in the comments for the whole cycle.
When: Week 2 as a warm-up, or as the only board if you are skipping Product Hunt. Not the same morning as Show HN.
Launch here if
- Tools sold to other founders
- Indie SaaS, boilerplate, and maker productivity
- Founders who want a newsletter hit on top of a board
Skip if
- Products whose buyers are not makers
- Teams that need a general consumer audience
- Anyone buying a featured slot before testing organic copy
This page answers Tiny Startups only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

Tips
- This is one of the best rooms for products sold to indie hackers.
- Do not pay for featured until you have a demo that survives founder skepticism.
- Pair with Indie Hackers and X, where the same people already spend time.
- Treat claimed list sizes as marketing until you see your own analytics.
