I am choosing software
Start with a category. Every one publishes what we require before a product can appear and, where we have written them, the scenarios a product will be put through. Once products are tested, a table ranks them by score, with a line saying who each is wrong for.
Open crew accountI built something
A listing puts your product on the platform, free or Premium for £49, and goes live once you prove your domain and complete your page. The annual list is earned: your product is crash-tested against its category's published scenarios, the report names who ran it and is published whatever it says, and a pass gets you considered for the September editorial.
List your productI invest
Investor access, £19.99 a month or £149.99 a year on a Crew account. It shows you the companies that say they are raising, with who said it and when, and the contact email each one chose to give investors. Nobody else sees that list. You write to them yourself, off Launch500. Launch500 does not arrange, advise on, recommend or promote any investment.
Get investor accessLatest off the bench
The method, the scenarios and the weights are published. Each report will appear here and at Crash Tests once it is published, whatever it says.

For makers
A free listing goes live once you prove your domain and complete your page; £49 makes it Premium, read by a person before it goes live. Listing information reviewed for publication; product not independently tested. The Launch500 list is never for sale: pass a Crash Test and you are considered for the September editorial.
Published as a list, not a paragraph, so you can hold us to every line. Listings and tests pay for the bench; none of them buys any of this.
