LaunchAF is a dynamic weekly launch directory designed to connect innovative SaaS products with an engaged community of early adopters and fellow founders. It serves as a vibrant arena where new software-as-a-service solutions are introduced, ranked, and archived, providing a structured platform for discovery and validation.
For founders, LaunchAF offers a unique opportunity to showcase their newly developed SaaS products to a targeted audience. The process is straightforward:
- Enter the week: Founders submit their product and choose a launch plan to join the next available weekly cohort. This ensures an equal starting line for all participants.
- Earn the climb: Throughout the week, products are featured on a live leaderboard. Founders are encouraged to share their launch, rally their community, and collect real votes and valuable feedback. The board dynamically responds to community engagement, allowing products to climb based on merit and support.
- Keep the result: At the end of the week, specifically on Sunday at 23:59 UTC, the final rankings are frozen. This result is then permanently archived, providing a lasting record of the product's launch performance and a valuable, permanent backlink. This ensures that even after the week concludes, products remain discoverable and their launch achievements are preserved.
For visitors and curious builders, LaunchAF is the go-to destination to discover what founders have shipped each week. It's a place to find the next essential tool, support innovative projects, and actively participate in shaping the leaderboard. The platform emphasizes transparency, with a clear launch policy governing how products are ranked and featured. Users can explore the full cohort of weekly launches, filter by categories such as Productivity, Marketing, AI, Analytics, Social, and Developer Tools, and view past week's winners.
Key features of LaunchAF include:
- Weekly Launch Cadence: A predictable schedule ensures a fresh batch of products every Monday, keeping the content current and exciting.
