Core Capabilities

Founder.best lets you submit your product once to get a permanent public listing page. All listings are structured to be indexed by leading AI assistants and queryable by AI agents, which increases the chance your product is referenced in AI-generated answers. The platform has 316 total launched products as of its 2026 update.

Available public tools include an MCP server installation guide, a full public API for listing access, and a public llms.txt file for AI crawlers.

Launch Visibility Rules

All new submissions are added to the live launches section. Standard Launch listings stay visible on the homepage for 7 days, while Launch Pro and Pro+ plans keep products featured for 30 days. After the visibility window ends, your product page and its backlink remain permanently accessible in the all-time products catalog.

The community can upvote listed products, and the highest voted entries appear on the weekly winners leaderboard each week.
