She seems to be very disciplined. I am seeing/finding out that , in the startup world as well, discipline to deliver consistently is much more important than any other form of talent. Given the opportunity, everything else can be learnt.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.

Hi infocaptor,

I am offering a free 30 day listing, if you want to test it out. Like any site, we are just starting out - so obviously we don't have a pagerank etc. But hopefully, with support from customers like you, the ranks will come in near future.

Regarding fees, to be bluntly honest - it just takes too much of my time to be doing it for free (even the most subtle of tasks end up taking a good chunk of your day). Moreover, I do not want to offer any advertisement, nor do I want to clutter the site with any and every submissions. So, the only way towards any revenue is a small fee.

Thanks for understanding (and your support :)

Do you run a games startup? I would be happy to feature it.

Vladd, that sounds great. I can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]

Hi Markkat, thanks for the heads up. There was a small jquery bug. It should be fixed now.

Not really. It looks a bit modernish. But I think there is a subtle emphasis on having you focus more on the ads (ads tend to stand out a bit more).

Most of the directory or listing services are worthless from a browser's point of view. Your startup(or any listed business) gets lost somewhere buried under categories and sub-categories. So, while these directories do offer a link or two, they really do not provide any value or a good user-experience to a casual browser who simply wants to check out cool startups, quickly find out a bit about them and explore further if interested.

I created StartupOnTop to address this very issue and offer a directory that presents startups in a clean, clutter-free manner. It offers a top-down view (startups first, categories later) and also shows a "quick - view" for users to quickly learn about a startup.

Most importantly, I intend to vigorously maintain it - I would like to keep it ad-free and spam-free. That means, the site is not meant for ‘every’ startup and will try to prevent the site from generic dilution. After a free first month, charging a basic maintainance fee.

Thanks!
