Yo earlies. ☼

Welcome to the 45th edition of the weekly early.tools newsletter sent to over 2090+ readers with launch updates and the top latest notable pre-launch startups every Monday. I am Julian Paul, and I will do my best to update you as tools move through Waitlist → MVP → Launched phases, so you don’t miss a thing in the early startup lifecycle of products that will (most likely) matter.

early.tools/members launched!

I've been building something for founders who want more than just a directory listing. early.tools Membership gives you the full toolkit to launch, get discovered, and stay organized — for a one-time payment of $99 (normally $199).

Here's what's included:

• Paid listing + newsletter feature — your product listed in our directory AND featured to 2,000+ subscribers

• -50% off additional listings — auto-applied at checkout, every time

• 150+ directories tracker — manage submissions across 150+ startup directories in one place

• 1,100+ curated resources — a growing library of tools, guides, and templates for founders

• Experiments library — real validation experiments and testing frameworks

• Early Backlog access — see every product in our pipeline before it goes live

• Priority review — your submissions reviewed in 1-2 days

• Community forum to connect with other early-stage founders [coming soon!]

• Raycast extension for quick access from your launcher [coming soon!]

No subscription. No recurring fees. Pay once, keep it forever.

The price is going up soon — this is the early adopter rate.

And you can get an additional -10% today via NL10.
