The short version
What is Launching Next?
Launching Next is a startup directory that features new tech startups, side projects and business ideas every day. It is still active in 2026.
The site says it has featured 45,669 startups and is "home to more than 45,000 tech startups, side projects and great business ideas". Founders can submit their own startup through a Submit Startup page. A weekly newsletter, sent every Friday, goes to "5,000+ founders" with a short briefing on top startups. We could not load the submission page on 5 Nov 2026, so we could not confirm whether listing is free or which paid options exist.
Bottom line: Launching Next is one of many places to list a new startup for early visibility. Treat it as one item on a launch checklist, next to Product Hunt and other directories, not as your main channel.
