The web changes every day. Most new websites appear quietly.
A launch is an early signal.
A new website can mark the start of a company, a product entering the market or an established business trying something new. Finding it early gives founders, agencies, researchers and curious people a more timely view of what is taking shape online.
More than submitted launches.
Many launch directories begin when a founder posts a project. LaunchIndex also finds websites that appear without an announcement. This gives the directory a wider view of what is starting to take shape across the public web.
Not limited to startups.
The index can include online shops, local businesses, publications, agencies, portfolios, software products and independent projects. What matters is that the website is public and appears ready for visitors.
Useful from different angles.
Founders can see what others are building. Agencies and service providers can spot businesses at a timely moment. Researchers can follow activity across categories. Everyone else can browse a part of the web they might not have found on their own.
A record, not a claim.
LaunchIndex records when it first observes a website live. The site may have appeared earlier, so the date is evidence of when we saw it rather than a claim about the exact moment it launched.
Published by an accountable operator.
LaunchIndex is operated by Liberateweb Ltd. LaunchIndex Research publishes guides and aggregate reports using visible dates, source links, reusable definitions and a corrections process. Commercial relationships do not change the independent publication standard for launch records.
Research that can be checked and reused.
Published reports preserve a fixed aggregate snapshot, identify the reporting period and methodology version, and make their aggregate CSV data available under CC BY 4.0. The underlying row-level directory is not an open dataset.
