Question 1

What is The Startup Board?

Accepted Answer

The Startup Board is a 1,600×625 pixel canvas where startups claim space to feature their logo, backlink, and preview card — a modern digital billboard for the 2026 startup cohort. Permanent, visible, and interconnected.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Pick a spot on the board, choose your tier (Micro $5, Pioneer $25, or Growth $75), upload your logo, and complete a one-time crypto payment. Your startup is then permanently placed on the board with a do-follow backlink and interactive preview.

Question 3

What are the available tiers?

Accepted Answer

Three tiers: Micro ($5 — 10×10px block), Pioneer ($25 — 20×20px block), and Growth ($75 — 50×50px block). All tiers include a do-follow backlink and lifetime logo placement.

Question 4

Is my placement permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once your payment is confirmed, your spot is secured for the lifetime of the board. There are no recurring fees or renewals. On December 31, 2026, the board freezes permanently.

Question 5

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

All payments are processed via NOWPayments — a crypto-native gateway. After clicking Pay via Crypto, you are redirected to a NOWPayments invoice page where you can pay with BTC, ETH, USDT, and 100+ other cryptocurrencies.

Question 6

Is it a one-time payment or subscription?

Accepted Answer

Strictly one-time. All tiers are lifetime access with a single payment. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or renewals.

Question 7

Are the backlinks do-follow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tier includes a do-follow backlink to your website, which contributes positively to your domain's SEO authority.

Question 8

What happens after the board closes?

Accepted Answer

On December 31, 2026 at 23:59 UTC, the board closes permanently. No new spaces can be purchased after this date. Existing spaces — including all backlinks — remain live indefinitely.
