Express Approval FAQ

How can I preview the screenshot?

When you go through the express approval checkout process, we’ll show you a screenshot of your website. Want to use your own instead? You’ll be able to upload a screenshot on the following page.

If I upload my own screenshot, what are the image specs?

An uploaded screenshot must measure exactly 1200 x 960 pixels in either PNG, JPG or GIF format with a maximum file size of 1MB. For screenshots that do not meet these specs, we reserve the right to edit or use own our screenshot.

Once my listing is added to Launching Next, can I edit it?

If you need to make changes to your listing, please email us at [email protected].

Once I submit my startup or project and purchase an express approval, what happens?

We will first evaluate your submission to ensure it meets our standards. If your submission isn’t qualified, you will receive a full refund and an email from us with additional details.

What happens when my submission is published?

When your submission is published on Launching Next, it will be published to the homepage, distributed across our social media accounts, and included in the daily email newsletter.

We may tweak some of the information you provide like the description or your uploaded image for optimal performance. For any large changes, we will contact you first.

What payment methods are accepted for the express approval?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. We do not currently accept other forms of payment, including PayPal, ACH, or money order.
