# Zarek

Zarek is made by Kupia Lab, for founders running their first launch.

## What Zarek does

- **Roadmap** — a 6-phase plan (Foundation, Pre-launch, Launch day, Directory blitz, Amplify, Measure) scheduled around your launch date and tuned to your vertical.
- **Copy** — X thread, Show HN, LinkedIn, Reddit, launch blog, Product Hunt kit and launch email, drafted from your actual product rather than a template.
- **Placement** — the specific subreddits, communities, influencers, newsletters, podcasts and press worth your time, each with a budget and a ready-to-send pitch.
- **Directories** — 29 tested twice for submission access, ranked for fit and opened with your copy pre-filled. Full results: https://zarek.tech/research/startup-directories
- **Live verification** — Zarek visits each listing and confirms it rendered, including JS-rendered pages like X and Product Hunt, then re-checks so nothing silently dies.
- **Measurement** — tracked links with deduped, bot-filtered clicks per channel.
- **Daily briefing** — one email each morning: what is overdue, what died, what is due next.

## Frequently asked

### Does Zarek post to my accounts?
No. Zarek drafts every post and tells you where and when to put it; you send it. Reddit and Hacker News penalise automated promotion, and your accounts are yours.

### Does Zarek submit directories automatically?
It opens each directory with your copy pre-filled, and you send it. We tested all 29 twice: in June 2026 one accepted a submission without an account, and by August none did. Zarek does not claim to do what the directories no longer allow.

### What does Zarek cost?
$1 a day, or a block: $29 for a month of one product, down to $250 for a year of it. You buy time rather than a subscription: nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel, and when it runs out you decide again. Every product gets a 3-day free trial from the day you create it, no card needed.

### Does Zarek show me every channel, or does it pick?
It picks. Zarek researches every channel it can find for your product — all 29 directories, plus the subreddits, newsletters, podcasts and press for your vertical — then ranks them and puts 5 in each of the six phases on your calendar. The rest are not deleted; they are one click away on the roadmap. Ten steps are hard prerequisites the ranking can never hide, including your landing page, your positioning and your Product Hunt kit.

### How is it different from a directory checklist or ChatGPT?
Zarek verifies each listing actually went live and keeps re-checking, and it tracks clicks per channel. A checklist does neither.
