Why is my listing waiting for a founder profile?
Your founder profile must be complete before your listing can go live on Biz Launches.
Updated
Profile completeness and listing status
When you submit a listing, it enters a holding state until your founder profile is verified as complete. This applies regardless of whether you have already paid for your launch week. Your listing is not lost during this time. Once you finish your founder profile, the listing is released automatically.
What your founder profile needs
Visit /account/founder to add the following:
- A photograph with a one-line caption
- Your full name
- Your title or role
- Your country
- A biography of at least 80 characters
- At least one personal link (your own website or a personal social profile, not company social pages)
- Your city (optional)
- A founder story link (optional)
Paid weeks and the launch queue
If you have paid for a specific launch week and your profile is still incomplete when that week arrives, your listing moves to the next available paid week or enters the free queue, depending on your payment status. We notify you of this change. Complete your profile to avoid delays: the moment it is verified, your listing releases to its scheduled slot.
Questions people ask
- What stops my listing from going live?
- An incomplete founder profile. You must add a photo with description, full name, role, country, biography (minimum 80 characters), and at least one personal link at /account/founder.
- Do I lose my paid launch week if my profile is incomplete?
- No. If your week has not yet passed, it is held. If it has passed, your listing goes live in the next available paid week (or free queue) once your profile is complete.
- How do I add co-founders?
- Invite them from the Team section at /account/founder. They will appear on your product listing once they have completed their own founder profiles.
