Early Launch covers products between idea and early traction, with a founder interview and an honest product review, both signed by Zach Bowman and kept as permanent pages. You can come in through one of two doors.
Option 1: be considered for free coverage
Tell us about your product with the form below. The editor reads every submission and selects some for free coverage, chosen independently of payment, as described in how a product gets selected for free coverage. We do not charge a fee to be considered, and submitting does not guarantee coverage or a reply in detail.
Before you send it, read what to prepare before you submit your launch. A clear submission helps the editor understand your product quickly:
- What the product does, in the first lines
- A way to see it working: a live link, a demo, a video or a trial
- Who it is for
- What is not there yet
Option 2: choose a paid level
If you want a guaranteed scope of coverage, you can choose one of three Evidence Launch levels or the Early Launch Kit. They are explained in Basic, Full and Premium Evidence Launch compared and in the Early Launch Kit.
The scope and the price of each option are shown at checkout, before you pay. Payment is made through a secure Stripe checkout. Terms of purchase, including any refund terms, are shown at that point and in our terms.
What payment does and does not buy
Payment buys the scope of work you chose. It does not buy a favorable verdict, traffic or revenue. Every review states weaknesses honestly, whatever the level. Paid and free coverage are held to the same standards, described in the methodology, and we publish a single disclosure about our interests and our use of AI tools.
What happens next
After you submit, the editor reads your information. If your product is selected or you choose a paid level, we contact you at the email you provide to arrange the founder interview. Nothing is published about your product without your having the chance to review the interview and correct factual errors.
Not sure which door suits you? If your product is not ready to be seen, start with the kit and its readiness audit. If you only want to know what a launch involves, see what a launch on Early Launch includes.
