How to Get Started

Head to the sign in page and enter your email. We use magic link authentication — no passwords to remember. You'll get an email with a link that signs you in instantly.

First-time users are automatically set up with an account. No forms, no friction.

Go to the Submit page and fill in your startup details:

• Name and tagline — keep it short and memorable
• Website URL — your primary domain
• Category — pick the one that best fits (AI/ML, SaaS, Developer Tools, etc.)
• Description — explain what you do and why it matters. This shows on your listing and in search results.
• Logo — square format works best. This appears on your card, badge, and world map plot.

Your URL slug is generated automatically from your name, but you can customise it before submitting.

Every submission is reviewed by the Wrapt team. We check that your startup is real, your website is live, and your listing meets our quality standards. No spam, no placeholder pages.

Approval typically takes less than 24 hours. You'll get a notification when your listing goes live.

Verification proves you own the startup you've listed. Verified listings get a badge and rank higher in search results.

You can verify via any of these methods:

• DNS TXT record — add a TXT record to your domain
• Meta tag — add a meta tag to your homepage
• Email verification — confirm from your company email domain
• Well-known file — host a file at /.well-known/wrapt-verify

Pick whichever is easiest for you. Once verified, your listing shows a green checkmark.

Once approved, your startup gets a plot on the 3D world map. Free-tier startups land in Indie Forest. As you upgrade your tier, you unlock new regions with more visibility:

Your listing is live. Share the direct link with your audience, post it on social media, and add it to your website. The more traffic and votes you get, the higher you'll rank on the leaderboard.
