Free forever  ·  No money, ever

Founders helping founders
get their first traffic.

Add one line of code. A small bar appears on your site showing another founder's startup. In return, yours gets shown on theirs.

How it works

STEP 01

You promote others. Others promote you.

  • Embed bar → promotes a verified startup
  • They embed → your startup gets featured back
  • Bigger network = more reach for everyone

STEP 02

One line of code. Infinite reach.

  • Works on Next.js, Webflow, WordPress — anything
  • Async load — zero impact on page speed
  • Auto-updated, always shows the best match

STEP 03

Every impression. Every click. Tracked.

  • Real impressions — visible in viewport only
  • Country, device, referrer — all free
  • Verified traffic badge on your listing

Live network

Track where your visitors
come from. In real time.

Every founder in the network shares their traffic. Watch the world light up as visitors discover startups like yours.

Why it works

The fairest growth channel
you'll ever ship.
