The loop that launches startups

01

Do favors for founders like you

Open the queue, clear a few cards: tear down an onboarding flow, share a launch, feature a product on your blog. Five minutes between deploys.

02

Earn points that mean something

Nothing mints until the work is verified — scraped, AI-graded, or approved. Fraud gets clawed back from the ledger. Always.

03

Spend them on your launch

Bundle launch-day shares, feedback rounds, and testimonials into one request — that's called a rally. The crowd shows up because showing up pays.

the founder marketing grind

You didn't start a company to beg for testimonials

Every founder hits the same walls chasing early traction. On Favors.dev each one becomes a bounty — done by founders who get it, verified before any points move.

Begging for testimonials

Three follow-up DMs and a guilt-trip just for one usable quote.

Post a testimonial bounty — a request with points attached — and founders who actually used it write the quote.

Shares need an audience

Launch-day reach assumes the followers you don't have yet.

Real founders repost from their own accounts — for points.

Beta testers who ghost

“Happy to test it!” … then silence, and no real feedback.

Structured-feedback bounties get AI-graded teardowns that land.

Sound like your week?

Stop doing your marketing alone.

Requesting a favor costs about the same in points, plus a small slice that's burned to keep them scarce. Points are earned, never bought.

real talk

“Sounds great, but…” — answered straight.

I don't have time for another community.

Good — this isn't one. No feed, no chat to keep up with. It's a queue you clear: the median action takes ~2 minutes, and ten focused minutes covers a day of earning.

I have no audience. What's my help worth?

Follower count isn't the unit here. Feedback, reviews, testimonials, and articles pay full points from anyone — and thirty genuine founders beat one influencer every time.

Points sound like a gimmick.

They're closer to accounting. Append-only ledger, verification before any payout, clawbacks for anything fake. Points just make reciprocity enforceable.

What if I post a request and nobody helps?

You can't lose points to silence. They're set aside when you publish, paid only for work you approve, and anything unused returns at the deadline.

founders helping founders — every point earned, never bought

Stop launching into the void.

Join the co-op where helping other founders is literally how you market your own startup. Adding your project takes under a minute — paste your URL and the AI writes the listing. Your first 250 points are on the house.
