Reviewed against the current Bowora product flow. Updated August 4, 2026.
What to prepare
- Your startup name, website, tagline, category, and short description.
- A high-resolution square logo and a clear 1200 by 630 thumbnail.
- Product screenshots, demo video, app links, and social links when available.
- Founder details if you want founders shown on the listing.
- Optional company details such as year founded, team size, stage, and funding history.
Submission steps
- Start from the onboarding page and enter the public startup details.
- Choose Growing, Open to offers, or Fundraising.
- Connect a supported revenue provider if verification is enabled or required.
- Optionally add a Bowora-only perk and an affiliate program.
- Confirm founder information and write an optional first comment.
- Review the public preview, then choose a publish method.
Before you publish
- Check that the website and social links open correctly.
- Use images that remain readable on mobile.
- Remove vague claims and explain the product in plain language.
- Do not submit copied reviews, fake metrics, or misleading revenue.
After launch
Open the public page, share it with people who know the product, and ask for an honest star or review. Keep the listing current. A useful profile converts visits better and gives reviewers enough context to write meaningful feedback.
