A logo file, uploaded
Answers to two written questions about the problem and the audience
Three upvotes on other launches before the submit button will fire
You'll be rejected if

What you actually get
A product page at /products/<slug> whose Visit website link carries only rel=noopener, so the link is followed on the free tier too. The listing sits in the launch feed for the Monday-to-Sunday week you booked, and each week holds thirty slots.

How to submit to Crowdstax

  1. Sign in and set up a profile
    Google sign-in, then a short profile with a display name and a username. The submit form will not open until it is done.
  2. Product Information
    Name, URL, tagline, description, one category, launch tags, platforms, then two written questions: what problem this solves, and who it is for. A first comment field sits at the bottom.
  3. Media
    A product logo, then gallery screenshots. Both are uploads.
  4. Team and Ownership
    Whether you are the maker or a finder, a required maker or founder name, and optional teammates by username.
  5. Extras
    Social links, an Alternative-to picker, a pricing model and a funding stage. All optional.
  6. Investor Profile
    Five long-form fundraising questions, all optional and shown only to their admins.
  7. Review and Submit
    A readiness grid, a launch-week picker with the slots left on each, then three plan cards. The free card leads to an upvote gate and then submits to review.

Gotchas

Pressing the free plan's button does not submit anything: it opens a gate asking you to upvote three of that week's launches, and the real submit sits behind it.
The audience field stops accepting text at 160 characters without saying so, and a sentence written to the length of the box next to it is cut mid-word.
The tagline arrives prefilled from a scrape of your own landing page, so anything you leave alone is your meta description rather than a line you wrote.
Pro is the tier whose backlink is described as permanent; the free listing's wording stops at a backlink after approval.
