Introducing SellTo Launchpad: A Free Community for New Startups
SellTo Launchpad is a free community where founders post ideas and startups, get real upvotes and comments, and grow a waitlist before launch day.
On this page
You build for months, post a link, and then nothing. No replies, no clicks you can explain. So you start guessing. Maybe the idea is wrong. Maybe the pitch is muddy. Or maybe the right people never saw it at all.
That gap is why we made SellTo Launchpad, a free community where founders share what they’re building and real people react to it. Below, you’ll find what it is, how it works, who it suits, and a few ways to make your startup page earn its keep.
What is SellTo Launchpad?
Think of Launchpad as a spot where new startups get seen and the people building them get a bit of support. You don’t need a finished product to join. Each startup page shows its stage, so nobody has to guess what they’re looking at:
- Idea: you have a concept and want early feedback.
- Building: you’re working on it right now.
- Launched: it’s live and ready for customers.
Browsing is simple. Pick Trending, New, Launched or Upcoming, type a name into search, or narrow things down by category. Founders get a public page for their startup. Everyone else gets an easy way to find new products and cheer on the people making them.
How Launchpad works
It costs nothing to use. You can publish a startup, browse, upvote, comment, follow and collect waitlist sign-ups without paying. The paid SellTo.us tests keep their usual prices, and the free Idea Snapshot is still one per person.
Every upvote, comment, follow and waitlist sign-up comes from a real person with a SellTo.us account. Waitlist sign-ups also need a confirmed email. Nobody can upvote a startup twice. We don’t add votes, users or activity ourselves, so the numbers on your page mean something.
The waitlist belongs to you. Only your team can see the email addresses of people who join, and they never appear on public pages. Anyone can take themselves off a waitlist whenever they want.
Your startup stays under your control too. From your dashboard you can edit, unpublish, archive or delete it at any time.
Real feedback and AI feedback, kept apart
A SellTo.us test shows how AI-simulated participants react to your idea. Launchpad shows what real visitors actually do. We keep the two separate. AI test results are always labeled as simulated, and they only show up on your Launchpad page if you choose to put them there.
Who Launchpad is for
Launchpad is for founders who want honest early signals and a waitlist before launch day. Makers and side-project builders hunting for their first real users will feel at home too. So will early adopters who like finding new tools before everyone else does.
SellTo.us has two sides, and they work well side by side. An AI test can show you objections and tighten your pitch while the idea is still rough. Launchpad is where you find out if real people agree with what the simulation said.
How to get the most out of your page
Once your startup is live on Launchpad, a handful of habits are worth building.
You don’t have to wait for launch day. If you post at the Idea or Building stage, you can collect waitlist sign-ups while you work. Then you’ve got people to tell when you finally go live.
Keep the description short. One or two sentences on who the product is for and which problem it solves is plenty, because visitors decide within seconds whether to read on.
Answer your comments. Each one comes from a real person who took the time to write. Replying builds trust, and the questions they ask often point at what your page is missing.
Update your stage when it changes, whether that’s Idea to Building or Building to Launched. Followers can see your progress, and your waitlist gets a reason to come back.
If a SellTo.us test helped you fix your pitch, you can show those findings on your page. They’re always labeled as simulated, so visitors know exactly what they’re reading.
Your next step
Launchpad is free and open now. Post your idea, gather upvotes and comments from real people, and start building your waitlist today.
