Founders at the moment they're picking their stack
Credit for Startups is where startups go to find tools, credits, and resources — before they commit to a vendor. Put your brand in front of them at the exact moment the decision is being made.
High-intent, low-funnel, and growing fast.

A native takeover, not a banner ad
Our flagship plan: contextual, content-led placements founders actually engage with — woven into the pages where they're already exploring tools and offers, for the full month.
- Native ad placements
- Across the site where founders are actively exploring tools and offers — not in a sidebar they'll ignore.
- Premium positioning
- Top placement on our Startup Index, company, and opportunities pages — the highest-intent surfaces we have.
- Sponsored newsletter
- Featured in our monthly newsletter to a growing list of 1,500+ founders and operators.
- Editorial write-up
- A dedicated write-up that lives permanently on our site — an evergreen, SEO-indexed page about your offer.
