Preview. Launch500 opens to the public soon; payments here are in test mode and no money moves.

Run by 99 Developers Ltd. Listings and Crash Tests pay for it. Money never buys a score or a place on the list. What money cannot buy

Writing

Findings from the bench, and operators who did the thing.

Two kinds of post and no confusing them. Ours carry a staff byline. Contributed pieces are paid for editorial consideration and labelled at the top with the company named. The fee buys a read, not a slot, and declined pieces are refunded in full.

No posts yet

The first pieces publish when there is something worth writing down. Contributed submissions are read within five working days.

£89 buys a read. It does not buy a slot.

Submit a piece with a fee and an editor reads it within five working days. If it clears, it publishes under your byline with a bio link marked sponsored. If it does not, you get the reason, one chance to revise, and a full refund if it still does not clear.

We decline pieces that read like a press release, which is the one thing the fee definitely does not buy.

What contributing does not affect

Nothing you publish here changes how we test you, how we score you, whether you appear in a category hub, or where you sit in one. The editorial team that reads submissions has no input into the bench, and the bench does not know who has written for us. The full revenue breakdown is published.
