Why traditional channels are failing you
You already know the math isn't working.
LinkedIn CPMs keep climbing.
And half your impressions are wasted on people who'll never touch your product.
Ad fatigue is real.
Your audience has trained itself to scroll past. Banner blindness and ad-blockers eat a third of your spend before a single practitioner sees you.
You can't show value in context.
A display ad can't demonstrate what your tool actually does in a real growth workflow.
Attribution is a black box.
You sponsor something, engagement "happens," and you're left guessing what it drove when the board asks for ROI.
The result: you're paying premium rates to reach the wrong people, with nothing you can defend in a QBR.
Who you're reaching
Not a bought list. Not a passive audience. Growth operators who show up every week to prove what works - and who buy the tools that help them do it.

Why this audience buys tools: Every verified hack on this platform names the tools that made it work. When an operator reads how a peer cut CAC 38% using your category, they're one click from you - in a moment of high intent, not interruption.

How you can sponsor
Four ways to get in front of growth operators - each mapped to a real intent moment, each fully measured.
Newsletter Sponsorship
Land in the inbox of every engaged practitioner, in the one email they actually open. Your placement runs inside curated verified hacks - context, not clutter. Ad-blocker-proof by definition: it's an email, not a banner.
Best for: awareness at scale + trial/demo drivers.
- ·Dedicated or primary placement
- ·Custom copy + link
- ·Click tracking + performance recap
Sponsored Playbooks & Teardowns
Show your tool doing the work. Partner on a "powered by [Your Tool]" playbook - a real, verified tactic that features your product in the workflow where it wins. This is product value in context, not a claim.
Best for: mid-funnel education + category ownership.
- ·Co-produced verified playbook
- ·Permanent SEO page
- ·Author + tool attribution, newsletter feature
Premium Tool Directory Listing
A permanent, enhanced listing in the tools operators reference every time they read a verified hack. Ad-blocker-proof, always-on, and indexed for search. When a practitioner needs a tool in your category, you're there.
Best for: always-on discovery + high-intent capture.
- ·Enhanced profile + category priority
- ·Verified-integration badges
- ·Click analytics
"Compare Tools" Enhanced Placement
Own the comparison moment. When operators evaluate your category head-to-head, an enhanced "Compare Tools" placement puts your differentiators front and center - with the receipts to back them.
Best for: competitive displacement + bottom-funnel intent.
- ·Enhanced comparison card
- ·Feature highlights + verified case-study links
- ·Lead capture
Attribution you can actually report on
No black boxes. No "trust us, it worked." You get the numbers to defend the spend.
- Full attribution dashboard - impressions, clicks, CTR, and downstream conversions on the placements that support tracking.
- UTM + link-level tracking on every sponsored link, ready to drop into your analytics stack.
- Performance recaps after each campaign - what ran, what it drove, what to double down on.
- Verified-by-design metrics - the same standard we hold members to, we hold ourselves to. If we can't measure it, we won't claim it.
This is the whole point of a platform built on verified results: the audience is real, the engagement is real, and so is the reporting.

We just launched — so we won't invent case studies we haven't run. Here's exactly how we'll report your results.
A sponsored playbook typically reports back click volume, trials driven, and a permanent SEO page that keeps sending traffic months later.
This is the report format a founding partner receives — your real numbers land right here.

The category is being built now - and the vendors who sponsor early get the best rates, the best placements, and the credit for helping build the home of growth. Founding-partner slots are limited by inventory.
Request the Media KitInvestment & packages
Sponsorships start at ~$2K/mo and scale to ~$15K/mo depending on format, placement, and commitment. Most partners run quarterly or annual programs for compounding reach and better rates.
What shapes your investment:
We don't do a public checkout for sponsorships - because the right program depends on your goals, your category, and your attribution needs. Request the media kit for full rates, audience data, and available inventory, or book a call and we'll build a package around your targets.
Founding-partner rates are open now and lock in as the audience grows.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know your audience metrics are real?+
The same way our members prove their results: with receipts. The media kit includes our current live audience figures, engagement rates, and methodology - and we tell you plainly that we're early and growing. We're a platform built on flagging unverified claims; we're not about to inflate our own.
Is the audience actually engaged, or is it a vanity number?+
Our North Star is weekly contributing and consuming members - people who submit hacks, vote, open the newsletter, and click through to tools. We report engagement, not just list size. The media kit breaks it down.
Will my placement get eaten by ad-blockers?+
Newsletter and directory placements are ad-blocker-proof by design - one is email, the other is native platform content. That's a core reason vendors move budget here from display and LinkedIn.
Can I actually attribute results?+
Yes. Every sponsored link carries UTM + link-level tracking, and you get an attribution dashboard plus a post-campaign recap. If a format can't be measured, we tell you upfront.
Is the audience a fit for my tool?+
If your product helps growth operators acquire, activate, retain, or measure users, yes. Our audience is Series A-C SaaS, e-commerce, and agency practitioners actively spending on their growth stack. The media kit includes a full demographic and category breakdown.
You're early - why sponsor now?+
Because founding partners lock in the best rates and placements before the audience scales, and get credit for helping build the category. Early sponsorship compounds - like early rank does for our members. And because we're transparent about exactly where our numbers are today, there's no guesswork.
What's the minimum commitment?+
Sponsorships start at ~$2K/mo. Most partners run quarterly or annual programs for better rates and compounding reach. We'll recommend the right level on a call.
Can I sponsor a playbook featuring my product?+
Yes - "powered by [Your Tool]" playbooks are one of our highest-potential formats. They're real, verified tactics that show your product in context, and they live on as permanent SEO pages.
Do you offer exclusivity in my category?+
Category exclusivity is available on select programs, subject to inventory. Ask us on a call.
Who is this NOT for?+
Tools under ~$500K ARR without a clear growth-audience fit, and anyone looking for cheap impressions with no attribution. We optimize for qualified reach and measurable outcomes, not the lowest CPM.
