Launch Handbook & Checklist
A comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap designed to help builders plan, launch, promote, and dominate their product tournaments on LaunchBuff.
Build momentum. Complete tasks to guarantee launch-day traction.
Founders who complete at least six checklist items consistently take more first-round votes and reach later bracket rounds. Do the prep — the bracket does not care how good your product is if nobody sees it in time.
Polish Your Headline & Tagline
Keep your tagline concise (under 60 characters) focusing on the primary outcome, not features.
Design Your Product Icon
A crisp 256×256 icon on a transparent background — recognizable at any size.
Draft Your Introductory Comment
Lead with the problem, follow with the mechanism, close with a specific outcome.
Install the LaunchBuff Badge
Grab the embed snippet from your dashboard and paste it into your site footer.
