LaunchRock

Launchrock is a hosted launch-page and customer-acquisition tool for early-stage founders. It provides a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG builder for pre-launch marketing pages, email capture forms, viral referral and social-sharing mechanics, and simple survey questions, so a founder can stand up a "coming soon" site and collect a waitlist of early users before a product ships. The platform pairs the builder with an education layer of founder courses, masterclass videos and how-to guides on customer acquisition, plus a community of mentors and founders. Launchrock is operated as one product line of the Startups.com platform, alongside Fundable, Bizplan and Clarity.fm, and is bundled into the Startups Unlimited subscription; its help content is served from the Startups.com knowledge base. Vevo, HotelTonight and theCHIVE are cited as sites that launched on the platform. Launchrock was originally a 500 Global (500 Startups) portfolio company. As of this profile Launchrock publishes no public API, developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI description, SDKs, CLI, webhook catalog or sandbox; delivery is entirely through the hosted web application.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles LaunchRock the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — LaunchRock scores 16.6/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 4/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile LaunchRock

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for LaunchRock. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
