Hall of Fame
All-time bid is the permanent record behind today's live ranking. Your spot here holds until another startup outpays you.
Today's Top 3
Today's leaderboard resets every day at midnight, giving every startup a fresh shot at #1. Total bid remains permanent.
How it works
Claim your spot for $10
Add your URL and choose a category. If the category is empty, you start at #1.
Add funds to move up
Your rank is based on your total bid. Every payment adds to it—your bid total never resets.
Stay until someone passes you
You keep your position until another company reaches a higher bid total. Add funds anytime to move up or defend your rank.
Take #1 by paying only the gap.
After the top-up your total bid becomes $11 — enough to take #1.

Standing out shouldn't be a secret.
On most directories, it's unclear why any given product is featured. On Startups.media the rules are clear from the start: rank is based on total payment — the highest payer stays on top, and that total never resets; positions and clicks are visible to everyone.
