Sponsored placement
Put your company in front of founders who are already looking.
The directory is read by exactly the people who evaluate tools for a living: other founders. A spotlight slot puts your card above the grid on the homepage and on startupfeedbackexchange.com/directory, clearly labelled and never dressed up as a ranking.
Members only. Slots are limited to three at a time so the section stays worth reading.
What you get
Three places to be seen
Homepage spotlight
One of three cards in the Featured section on the homepage, above the community grid. Your own blurb rather than your tagline.
Directory spotlight
Top of /directory, above every other listing, with the same sponsor card treatment and a Featured badge on your grid card.
Top slot
First position within the spotlight row, sold separately from the row itself. One company at a time.
What it costs
Rates are set per cohort and depend on how many members the directory reaches that month. A number posted here would be out of date within a quarter, which is worse than asking. Email hello@startupfeedbackexchange.com with your company name and the month you want, and you’ll get the current rate and availability back.
The rules we hold ourselves to
A directory nobody trusts is worth nothing to advertise in
Placement is paid. Rank is not.
Sponsored cards sit in their own section, visually distinct, and every one is labelled Featured. We never reorder the community grid for money, and a sponsor's card carries the same peer rating it would have carried anyway.
Ratings can't be bought.
Every score in the directory is the average of private reviews written by other members. Sponsorship changes neither the number nor the review count behind it.
Members only.
You have to be in the exchange to sponsor a slot, which means you have already reviewed other members' products and been reviewed yourself.
It lapses on its own.
A spotlight is a date range, not a flag someone has to remember to switch off. When the term ends the card leaves the section by itself.
Not a member yet?
Sponsorship is only open to members of the exchange, and membership is free for founding members. See what you’d be joining.
