Why we built it
Traditional product directories often reward launch-day reach, paid placement or whoever arrived first. Founder Battle gives products a continuing way to prove where they belong. Every active product competes on one global ladder, while categories make that same ladder easier to browse.
How it works
- Submit a public product website and review the listing details before publishing.
- Join the global leaderboard and challenge an eligible product above you for free.
- Independent Arena Votes decide rank. Founder share traffic creates separate, visible Support Votes and feedback.
- The result moves the board according to the rules—never according to payment.
The complete mechanics, including ties, minimum votes, extensions and cooldowns, are on the How ranking works page.
What we stand for
Earn the position
Products move through public head-to-head battles. A founder cannot purchase votes, a win or a leaderboard position.
Keep challenges free
Every eligible challenge is free. Optional Battle Boosts feature both products equally and remain separate from ranking.
Make the rules visible
Battle timing, voting thresholds, cooldowns and movement rules are published so founders know how the board works.
How Founder Battle is funded
Challenges are free. Founder Battle may charge for clearly labelled sponsorships and an optional Battle Boost. A boost gives the two products in a battle the same additional exposure; it does not buy eligibility, votes, shorter cooldowns, a result or rank.
Built for legitimate public products
Founder Battle is for founders and teams who are authorised to submit the product they list. We may reject or remove misleading, unlawful, unsafe, abusive or manipulated content to protect voters, founders and the integrity of the leaderboard.
