What you actually get
A place in next Monday's gameweek, competing on votes until Sunday midnight UTC. The product page persists, but the ranking resets weekly, so this is a recurring competition rather than a one-off listing. Finishing top 20 forces a one-week rest before you can re-enter.
How to submit to LaunchLeague
1
Sign in with Google
There is no email option: the sign-in page offers exactly one button, Continue with Google.
2
Complete your founder profile first
First name, last name and bio are all required, and their own note says an authentic bio unlocks your weekly voting power. Until it is saved, upvotes silently do nothing.
3
Draft the product
Name (20 characters), tagline (80), website URL, a square logo (min 200x200, max 2MB) and a 16:9 cover (max 3MB).
4
Put their badge up
The embed snippet carries a ?product= slug that is only filled in once you have typed the product name. Their crawler checks the link on submission and again at launch.
5
Support two founders
Two upvotes and two creator-site visits, both tracked. The Visit buttons only exist on hover.
6
Save, then enter the gameweek
Saving only drafts the product and it shows as Not Entered. Schedule Launch opens the entry brief, and Enter Gameweek is what actually puts you on next Monday's table.

Gotchas
Sign-in is Google-only, so the listing is tied to a Google identity whether you want that or not. Set the profile name deliberately, because it becomes your public byline.
Upvotes silently fail until your founder profile has a name and bio saved. Nothing tells you this: the counter just stays at 0 of 2 no matter how many times you click.
The badge snippet contains the placeholder "your-product" until you type your product name into the form. Copy it too early and you deploy a badge pointing at nothing.
Saving the product does not enter it. The dashboard shows "Not Entered" and you have to click Schedule Launch and then Enter Gameweek separately.
The quest counters on the submit form do not live-update. Their Refresh button did not help; only a full page reload showed the completed quests, and reloading loses everything you had typed.
Entries are for the upcoming week only, with no mid-week entry, and finishing in the top 20 forces a one-week cooling-off before you can enter again.
