How to submit your startup to StartupGuys.net
TL;DR
StartupGuys.net is a startup advice blog that sells paid startup reviews in three packages: $49, $99 and $349. Reviews go live in 7 to 10 working days and are shared on social media, push notifications and, in the higher packages, the newsletter. It suits founders who want a written review and a mention to a small audience, with a fixed price and no pitching.
What is StartupGuys.net?
The about page says the blog is run by Jeff Wiener, an entrepreneur who sold his previous business to private equity in 2017, and lists Rowan D. Paige as an author. The site publishes guides on startup ideas, planning, marketing, funding and growth, sorted into Artificial Intelligence, Startup Ideas, Startup Marketing, Startup Spotlight and Tools & Resources.
The blog still publishes, with new posts on 23 and 28 October 2026. The feed mixes founder topics, such as preparing for your first enterprise customer, with off-topic posts on personal injury lawyers and gambling software. The Startup Spotlight category, where startup features sit, holds three posts, and the newest dates from September 2024.
The submit page gives the site's own audience figures: 80,000+ unique page views a month, 8,000+ newsletter subscribers, 5,000+ push notification subscribers, 1,000+ email subscribers and 75,000+ social media followers. None of these numbers is independently verified.
Who should submit to StartupGuys.net?
- Early-stage startups and SaaS tools that want a written review to link to.
- Founders with a small budget who prefer a fixed price over pitching journalists.
- Startups with an investor angle, if the top package's mailing to 1,000+ investors fits their round.
- Skip it if you need editorial credibility or a niche audience: the site also publishes posts on unrelated topics, such as law firms and gambling software, which dilutes its startup focus.
How much does StartupGuys.net cost?
All options are paid. The submit page lists three packages:
- $49: a review of 350+ words, shared on social media and sent to 5,000+ push notification subscribers.
- $99: a review of 500+ words, with the same sharing plus a mailing to 8,000+ newsletter subscribers.
- $349: the 500+ word review and a promo video, both shared on social media, sent to push and newsletter subscribers, and mailed to 1,000+ investors.
The package cards and the order dropdown use different names for the same three prices, so pick by price. The page says nothing about link attributes. The domain authority of 58 belongs to startupguys.net; ask whether your link is followed or marked sponsored before you pay.

Tips to get more out of StartupGuys.net
- Ask for a recent example of a paid review before you order, since the Spotlight category shows no feature after 2024.
- Send facts, not adjectives: launch date, pricing, users and one customer quote give the reviewer material for 350 or 500 words.
- Choose the $349 package only if you are raising money now and the investor mailing reaches your target investors.
Our verdict
StartupGuys.net still publishes and still sells reviews, but its feed has drifted into off-topic posts and its startup features are rare. The $49 review is a cheap extra link; skip the bigger packages unless the site shows you proof of reach.
