## Quick verdict

Strong General Directory pick — #60 of 276, DR 83, free to submit. Worth it for funded startups seeking investor-database presence; skip if you expect consumer referral traffic.

**Best for:** Venture-backed or fundraising startups needing accurate investor-database profiles · Founders claiming company pages for DR 83 backlinks and research visibility

## Pros

- DR 83 domain with Very Strong backlink on indexed company profile
- High trust signal in VC and PE research workflows
- Free to claim and correct basic public profile data
- Compounds credibility alongside Crunchbase and press coverage

## Cons

- Referral traffic is investor research — not software buyer intent
- Profile accuracy depends on PitchBook data sourcing — errors are common pre-claim
- Correction process can be slow without authorized company contact
- Not a product launch or software directory channel

## What you need before you submit

- Legal company name, website URL, and headquarters location

**Gotchas:**

- **Anchor text:** Company name on profile; website field links to submitted homepage URL when verified.
