Our take

Startups.fm is a hand-picked SaaS and startup directory for buyers and founders, with funding and hiring data alongside listings. Every listing costs $49 one-off and is human-reviewed, with no free option. The site advertises an SEO-friendly backlink, but it has no measurable search traffic and it was last updated in June 2026.

Explore 1,600+ hand-picked startups across AI, SaaS, DevTools, Fintech & more. Track funding rounds, browse open roles, and discover what's being built – by country, city, and category.
