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.
LaunchRock is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Landing Pages, Website Builder, No-Code, and Customer Acquisition.
LaunchRock’s developer surface includes pricing, signup flow, support, and 15 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/launchrock: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

note: 'Full STEP 0b contract discovery re-run. No published contract. The prior WellKnown pointer was removed: its own probe
records a 404 on every path, so the pointer asserted a served surface that does not exist. The well-known probe file is
retained as evidence and now also carries the contract-discovery record.'
x-coverage:
state: none
reason: no-developer-program
detail: Launchrock ships only an end-user landing-page builder; the single live machine surface on its domain is an internal
Apollo GraphQL endpoint at /graphql that backs the Startups.com web app, with introspection disabled in production and
no schema, reference or developer terms published anywhere.
