How do I grow/get traffic for a Startup Directory?

Hey founders 👋 hope everything is going fine. I had a question. How can I make my startup directory grow? I recently made a startup directory and wanted some listings there and enough traffic so I can monetize it. What's your suggestion? How can I grow it? I am focusing on small and micro startups and saas tools to list on my directory. Thanks for your time. Your suggestion will help a lot 🙂. Also If you wanna list your startup just share your startup link in the comments I will list it for free as I am focusing on getting at least 50 startups listed.
