The founder profile, and which listings await it
What the founder profile asks of you, and why only a free listing waits for it.
Updated
What we ask of you
The founder profile is kept at /account/founder. It asks for a photograph and one line describing it, your full name, your title or role, your country, a short biography of at least 80 characters, and at least one personal link. A personal link is your own website or a personal social profile. Company pages are not accepted. Your city and a link to a founder story may be added if you wish.
A free listing awaits it
A free listing is presented only when our badge has been verified on your website and the founder profile is complete. Until both are so, it waits. It is not lost. When the remaining part is done, it is released automatically. If its queue week has passed, it is presented in the next free-queue week, and we tell you.
A paid launch does not
A paid launch is presented at once, or in the week you chose. The profile need not be complete. This is also so for a relaunch, for the multi-site bundle, for the done-for-you listing, and for a free listing once upgraded to a paid launch. We invite you to complete the profile, as it is shown on your listing.
Co-founders
They are invited from the Team section of /account/founder. Each appears on the product once their own profile is complete.
