BetaList
betalist.comA showcase of pre-launch and recently launched tech startups with an early-adopter newsletter. Every submission is paid and prices only appear at the end of the login-gated form; if the editors pass on your startup the payment is refunded in full. You need your own domain and a distinctive landing page with a signup path, and a featured listing gets a followed link through a redirect. Blogs, newsletters, stores, agencies and products launched weeks ago are turned away.
