Start A FIRE

Promote your brand and content with every link you share

Start A FIRE launched on December 14, 2015 with 374 votes, #19 of 3,505 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Start A FIRE is a web app that adds branding and promotional elements to links shared on social media. Users can customize their shared links to promote their brand or content while tracking how those links perform through built-in analytics. The tool targets marketers and content creators who want to maximize visibility and measure engagement across their social media sharing efforts.

From the sources

Grow and expand your audience by recommending your content within any link you share

We built Start A Fire with a mission to enable those who discover and share great content to get the attribution they deserve. While we have achieved this goal and encouraged tens of thousands of brands, bloggers, influencers and other individuals to share and distribute great content with millions of people, from a business perspective Start A Fire did not reach a point where it is sustainable as an independent product. We strongly believe in focusing our resources on things that matters and that can be sustainable. Therefore, we are sorry, but we've decided to discontinue Start A Fire. All the links you've created using Start A Fire will be redirected to their original source. This means…from startafire.com
