DiscoverLaunches is a weekly launch board for indie makers and SaaS founders that gives every submitted website a permanent product page, a verified backlink, and structured exposure aimed at Google and AI assistants.
What is DiscoverLaunches?
DiscoverLaunches is a weekly product launch board where founders paste their website URL, add their startup, and receive a permanent product page plus a verified backlink. Each launch is grouped into a numbered week — the current one being Week 40, covering Sep 28 to Oct 4 — and each week has its own page, such as /launches/2026/39. The board is built around being discovered on Google and cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, and it links out to those tools so visitors can ask an AI to summarize a listing. Every product keeps its own URL after the week ends, for example /product/remove-background-online-free-background-remover.
What makes DiscoverLaunches stand out?
- Weekly launch board — launches are organized by week number, with a dedicated page per week and a homepage feed of the current week's products.
- Permanent product pages — a launch is not deleted when its week ends; each product keeps a stable page at a /product/ URL.
- Verified backlink with dofollow rules — free listings pass dofollow while the DiscoverLaunches badge remains on your site, while Premium listings are always dofollow.
- AI-discovery positioning — listings are pitched for citation in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok answers, with one-click "Ask AI about this page" prompts for each service.
- Category labeling — products are tagged with categories such as AI, SaaS and Design Resources.
- Paid feed banner slot — one banner placement per week at $19 per week with a dofollow link.
- Free submission path — submitting a startup to the current-week board costs nothing.
Who should use DiscoverLaunches?
- Indie makers shipping a side project: submit the live URL to get a permanent product page and a backlink without paying for a listing.
- SaaS founders launching a new product: put the product in front of the current week's board visitors and give it a page that states what it does in one line plus a category.
- SEO and growth marketers working on backlinks: use the listing to obtain a verified backlink, with dofollow guaranteed on Premium or while the badge is on the site.
- Advertisers wanting a single sponsored placement: book the weekly feed banner at $19 per week for a dofollow link in the rotation.

FAQ
Is DiscoverLaunches free?
Yes. Submitting a startup to the current-week board costs nothing and still gives a permanent product page and a verified backlink. Paid options exist: a Premium listing for always-on dofollow, and a feed banner slot at $19 per week.
What exactly do I get from a launch?
A permanent product page at a stable URL, a verified backlink, a place on the current week's board feed, and one-line description plus category labeling — with the page written to be found on Google and cited by AI assistants.
What is the difference between free and Premium listings?
Free listings pass dofollow only while the DiscoverLaunches badge stays on your site; Premium listings are always dofollow, so the link attribute no longer depends on keeping the badge installed.
Which AI assistants does DiscoverLaunches target?
The board lists ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, and provides "Ask AI about this page" links that open each of those services with a pre-filled prompt summarizing the page.
How many products are on the board right now?
The board is small at the time of writing: the homepage shows one launch in Week 40 and a total of two products to browse, alongside one open feed banner slot.
