The manifesto
Not another launch directory.
Most directories are graveyards of dead links and SEO spam. CultCode is the opposite: a small, hand-curated cult of projects worth looking at — because a human looked at every single one first.
Who's behind this
Soham Mayekar
Hi, I'm Soham Mayekar — an engineering student from Mumbai who loves building products and following the indie maker community. Most startup directories accept almost everything, or feel driven more by SEO than by quality; finding genuinely interesting projects means digging through pages of filler. So I built CultCode. Every submission is reviewed by me before it goes live. The goal isn't to be the biggest directory on the internet — it's to be one people trust, because every project here earned its place. If your project gets listed, it's because I genuinely believe it's worth discovering.
The noise problem
The internet is drowning in "submit your startup" lists. They accept anything, rank nothing, and rot within months. You add your link, get one bot visit, and it disappears into a wall of abandoned tabs. That's not distribution. That's a landfill.
Why ₹499 is the filter
Free means infinite. Infinite means spam. A small one-time fee isn't about the money — it's a signal that you actually care whether your project shows up next to good company. Payment doesn't buy approval; it buys a serious look. If I say no, you get a full refund — no questions asked, within 5–7 business days.
Human review is the product
There's no algorithm here, no auto-approve queue. Every submission is read, opened, and judged by me. Broken links, thin clones, and keyword sludge don't make it in. The whole value of this list is what I keep out — the cult only grows one review at a time.
The permanent record
Every approved project earns a permanent page at cultcode.dev/p/[slug], complete with a strong OG image built to look sharp when shared. It's not a row in a table you'll never revisit — it's a page that stays live and works as hard as a good screenshot.
How it works
Submit & pay
Send me your project and pay once — ₹499 for a standard listing, ₹1,999 for a featured slot. No subscriptions, no renewals.
Human review
A real person opens your project, clicks around, and decides — within 48 hours, usually same day. If review ever takes longer than 72 hours, you get an automatic full refund.
Live in the directory
Your project gets a permanent page at cultcode.dev/p/[slug] with a share-ready OG image. It stays. The cult grows.
Join the cult.
Ship something real, put it in front of people who care, and get a page that outlives the launch. Reviewed by hand — the way it should be.
