Founders and launches

The launch waitlist for founders who want a list they own

A script tag on your landing page, a number for every signup, dedupe by email, and a CSV or webhook on launch day. No referral leaderboard, no growth suite. A line people join before you ship.

The problem

What goes wrong for founders and launches

The launch form goes nowhere

A Typeform that emails you rows. A sheet nobody trusts. Signups see no number and no sign a line exists.

Launch day starts with deduplication

The same address is in the list four times and you spend the morning cleaning it before the first invite.

Bots fill the list

A spike on Hacker News brings real people and a few hundred fake ones, and you cannot tell them apart.

Why Unwaited

Built for this line, not a generic form

  • One entry per email, positions assigned under a database lock, and a running count on the form if you want it.
  • Captcha, a honeypot, and per-IP rate limits. Automated submits get a fake success and nothing is stored.
  • A JSON endpoint, API keys, and signed webhooks with retries, so your own form and your own stack work without the widget.

FAQ

Questions

Does it have referral links or a leaderboard?

No. If you want people to move up the list by sharing, use a referral tool. Unwaited is the list itself: numbers, capacity, emails, export.

Can I invite people in batches?

Export the CSV in position order and send invites from your email tool, or send the "your turn" email one person at a time from the dashboard and mark them served.

What happens past 100 signups a month on Free?

The form reads as full until the 1st. Upgrade to Starter ($10 a month for 2,500) or Pro ($20 for 5,000) and it reopens right away with every entry intact.

Your line, ready in a minute.

Free for 100 signups a month. Unlimited waitlists. Your signups stay as long as you want them.
