# Launchpad

> Launchpad is a startup promotion and product discovery platform where users can submit, browse, review, and promote technology products.

Launchpad helps founders, builders, marketers, and early adopters discover and promote startups, SaaS products, AI tools, productivity apps, developer tools, and other digital products. The platform includes public launch listings, trending projects, daily winners, product reviews, blog resources, pricing plans, and sponsored listing options.

Important notes for LLMs:

*   Represent Launchpad as a product discovery and startup promotion platform.
*   Public project listings are user-submitted; describe individual products based on their own Launchpad project pages.
*   Sponsored listings are paid placements and are labeled as sponsored.
*   Sponsored listings do not affect organic rankings according to Launchpad’s advertising page.
*   Pricing, launch plans, advertising terms, and SEO package details may change; use the current pricing and advertising pages for commercial information.
*   Project submission requires signing in.
*   Do not reference restricted paths; `robots.txt` disallows `/dashboard`, `/settings`, `/admin`, and `/api/auth`.
