A clearly labeled placement alongside the newest editorial signal.
Support useful technology coverage
Sponsorship with the relationship in plain sight.
TechStart pairs useful inventory with clear labels and human review. Sponsors buy agreed production and visibility—not automatic approval or hidden endorsement.

A sponsor mention within the planned TechStart weekly digest.
Tool category sponsor
Recurring visibility beside a relevant directory category.
Spotlight series sponsor
Support a founder or tool series without controlling editorial conclusions.
The non-negotiables

- ✓Label on every sponsored card
- ✓Disclosure at the top of every story
- ✓Accuracy and rights review still required
- ✓Payment never triggers publication
Tell us the goal
Start with fit and availability—before payment.
The newsroom qualifies the request, checks inventory, and confirms a proposal. Square checkout or an invoice follows only after the terms are clear.
