Founder Pass
Become a Pro Founder
One payment, 12 months of Pro Founder status: a free Startup Launch every launch week and Pro Founder prices on everything else.
Pro Founder status for 12 months. No subscription, no automatic renewal.
What you get
One free Startup Launch every launch week
Normally $7.99 each. Schedule them in advance, up to 90 days ahead, one per launch week (Tuesday to Tuesday). Free launches use the regular 10 weekly Startup Launch slots, so they're subject to slot availability. Free launches are for new project submissions only. They can't be used to upgrade a project that's already launched or scheduled on the Free tier.
50% off, on every purchase
Premium Launch $19.99 instead of $39.99, Guest Posts $14.99 instead of $29.99, and Advertise (Sponsored Listings) $29.99 instead of $59.99 a month. No limit on how many times you use it.
Pro Founder label and badge
The Pro Founder label on your profile, plus an embeddable SVG badge for your website that links to your Pro Launch profile.
Built for agencies too
Use your free launches for client projects you submit. Each one counts toward your own one-per-week limit.
A reminder before it ends
We email you 7 days before your Pro Founder status expires. Nothing renews or charges you automatically.

Decide again at the end
You get a reminder 7 days before expiry. Launches you've already booked stay booked, and you can buy a new pass once the current one has expired.
The terms, in short
- Personal and non-transferable. One person or one agency per account; the pass can't be transferred, resold or shared.
- Buy again only after expiry. Passes never overlap or stack, and a pass never renews by itself.
- Refunds per our policy. Refundable within 7 days of purchase if no Pro Founder benefit has been used. A refund or chargeback ends Pro Founder status.
