What you actually get

How to submit to Startup Listing
1
Sign in
Google, GitHub and two other OAuth options sit under the email form on /signin. The account is created by the same click.
2
Open the add form
/products/new. There is an Analyze button beside the URL field that fills the listing from your site if you want it.
3
Fill the fields
Logo, URL, name, tagline (200 max), rich-text description (1,000 max), optional X handle, one category, tag chips and feature chips.
4
Add gallery images
A separate uploader takes up to three images at 1200x630, 5MB each. This is not the logo slot.
5
Add Product, then check the dashboard
Submitting redirects to your product page on its advertise tab. The dashboard counters (Total / Pending Launch / Approved / Rejected) are the real proof.

Gotchas
Submitting drops you onto your product page already switched to its advertise tab, selling $3/day featured placement before you have seen how your own listing looks.
The listing sits in Pending Launch behind a human, and nothing on the site says how long that takes or what gets rejected.
The whole product is built around a daily engagement streak, badges and an activity-weighted leaderboard, so a listing you submit and never return to sinks by design.
