Get votes from your existing audience
The leaderboard ranks startups by votes, and trending takes into account votes received in the last 7 days. The fastest way to climb is to bring your existing community to Wrapt.
What works:
- Share your Wrapt listing link directly — it's
wrapt.dev/c/your-slug - Add it to your website footer, docs, or about page
- Mention it in your newsletter when you have a product update
- Post on Twitter/LinkedIn — a short "we're on Wrapt List, vote for us" works well
- Include it in your GitHub README if you're open source
Votes are one-per-user to keep things fair. You can't game it — focus on getting real people who care about your product.
Embed your Wrapt badge
Every listing gets an embeddable badge — a dynamic SVG that shows your tier, rating, and live vote count. It updates automatically.
Add it to your website, landing page, or documentation. It acts as social proof and drives traffic back to your listing where visitors can vote.
Grab your embed code from your company dashboard:
<a href="https://wrapt.dev/c/your-startup"><img src="https://wrapt.dev/badge/your-startup" alt="Wrapt List" /></a>The badge is lightweight and loads fast. It works on any website that supports HTML or Markdown images.
Earn reviews
Reviews add credibility to your listing. They're visible on your company page and factor into how your startup is perceived by visitors.
All reviews go through moderation — the reviewer must verify their email, and the review is then approved by the Wrapt team. This keeps quality high and spam out.
How to get reviews:
- Ask happy customers directly — a personal ask converts better than a mass email
- Add a "Review us on Wrapt" link in your post-purchase or onboarding flow
- Respond to feedback in your community by pointing people to Wrapt to leave a formal review
- Don't incentivise reviews — moderation will catch anything that looks inauthentic
Climb the leaderboard
The leaderboard has four sort modes, and each gives you a different way to stand out:
All-time vote count. Build a strong, loyal base and you'll hold this position long-term.
Votes in the last 7 days. Launch campaigns and product updates help you spike here.
Recent additions. You get automatic visibility here right after approval.
Page view count. Drive traffic to your listing from your own channels.
Upgrade your tier for more visibility
Free listings are visible and functional, but upgrading your tier gives you a significantly larger presence on the world map and across the site.
- Pro (2x presence) — bigger plot, Startup Shores region, Pro badge on your listing
- Elite (3.5x presence) — light beam effects, featured card styling, priority in search
- Apex (8x presence) — the largest plots on Silicon Summit, animated effects, maximum visibility
Check the pricing page for the full breakdown of what each tier includes.
Keep your listing fresh
Stale listings get less engagement. Keep yours up to date:
- Update your description when you ship major features
- Swap your logo if you rebrand
- Make sure your website URL is current — broken links hurt credibility
- Add links to relevant content (blog posts, changelogs, documentation)
Edits go through a quick review to maintain quality, then go live automatically.
