LaudStack is the launch, discovery, and growth platform for AI and SaaS software. Founded in 2024 by Chiedu Kabakwu, LaudStack helps professionals — including founders, product managers, engineers, and marketers — discover, compare, and choose the software that powers their work.
Unlike generic software directories, LaudStack combines multiple platform concepts into one: product launches (similar to Product Hunt), verified community reviews and ratings (similar to G2), software deals and promotions (similar to AppSumo), and community voting — all driven by a transparent ranking algorithm where merit beats marketing budget.
For founders, LaudStack's LaunchPad gives indie and bootstrapped teams a fair shot at visibility alongside enterprise software. Products are ranked on community lauds, verified reviews, and engagement data — never on ad spend. Founders can also run deals, respond to reviews, and access analytics through the Founder Dashboard.
LaudStack is headquartered remotely, with a fully distributed team. The platform is free to use for all users, and free to list for all founders.

Founder & CEO
Chiedu Kabakwu is the founder and CEO of LaudStack. As a builder and entrepreneur, he experienced firsthand the frustration of navigating the overwhelming SaaS and AI tool landscape — where rankings were influenced by ad budgets, reviews were unverified, and great indie products were buried under enterprise marketing.
He founded LaudStack in 2024 to create the platform he always wished existed: one where community votes, verified reviews, and editorial curation — not marketing spend — determine what rises to the top. Under his leadership, LaudStack has grown into a comprehensive launch, discovery, and growth platform for AI and SaaS software.
“I kept asking the same question — which tools actually work? LaudStack is the answer I built for everyone who's tired of biased rankings and fake reviews.”
