# startuups

> startuups.com is a startup launch platform and directory where small startups and indie makers launch their products, compete on a weekly community-voted leaderboard, and get discovered by early adopters. New products launch every week (Monday–Sunday); the most-upvoted each period earn winner badges and a permanent directory listing.

## Key pages

- [Home — this week's leaderboard](https://startuups.com): Live ranking of startups launching this week, voted by the community.
- [Trending](https://startuups.com/trending): The startups trending right now — this week's most-upvoted launches.
- [Winners](https://startuups.com/winners): Weekly, monthly and yearly winners — the top 3 most-upvoted startups of each period.
- [Categories](https://startuups.com/categories): Browse startups by category (AI, SaaS, developer tools, marketing, design, analytics, and more).
- [Blog](https://startuups.com/blog): Guides and articles on launching, growth, and startup tools.

## How it works

- Makers submit a product; it launches on a chosen week.
- The community upvotes launches through the week.
- Rankings reset every Monday. Top products earn "Product of the Week" and remain in the directory.
- Each product has its own page with description, category, upvotes, comments, and maker info.
