What you actually get

Distribution, not a sticker

The badge is the trade. The real value is the four placements your profile unlocks the moment we verify the embed.

Homepage feature slots

Verified embed → your profile gets pinned to the homepage feature rail and trending sidebars. Same surface paid Boost ads occupy.

Newsletter inclusion

Verified profiles surface in the weekly newsletter alongside our editorial picks. 62K subscribers, 18% open rate.

On-site recommendation rows

Your profile gets surfaced in recommendation rails on related profiles, sector pages, and search results.

Verified Profile badge

Your profile shows a verified badge and a trust signal on every page it appears — the kind investors look for.

How it works

Five-minute setup

1

Pick a variant

Big badge for hero placements or a small footer icon for sidebars / footers — same coverage benefit, different visual real estate.

2

Copy the embed code

One <a> + <img> tag. Drop it anywhere on your site — homepage footer, About page, partners section.

3

Get verified within 24h

Our crawler checks for the badge weekly. As soon as it finds yours, your profile flips to verified and starts earning featured coverage.

4

Earn coverage forever

As long as the badge stays on your site, your profile keeps the verified status and the placements that come with it.

FAQ

The straight answers

Is the badge actually free?
Yes. Embed is free, verification is free, the featured coverage you earn from it is free. No fee, no upsell.
What does my embed earn me, exactly?
Three things, all on top of the standard profile listing: (1) homepage feature slot rotation alongside paid Boost ads, (2) inclusion in our weekly newsletter mentions, (3) appearance in on-site recommendation rows on related profiles and sector pages. The verified status persists as long as the badge stays on your site.
Where on my site does the badge need to go?
Anywhere we can crawl — homepage footer is most common, About page or Partners section also work. As long as the embed code is in the rendered HTML and links to your StartupHub.ai profile, our verifier will find it.
How does verification work?
When you submit, we ping your site once and check for the embed. We also re-check every 7 days via a background cron — if the badge gets removed, the verified status flips off after the next check. Pop it back on and the next check restores it.
Do I get a DoFollow link?
Every StartupHub.ai profile already gets a DoFollow link to your website by default — verified or not. The embed-badge program is about distribution (newsletter, homepage, recommendation rows), not the link itself.
Can I customize the badge design?
Pick between Big Badge (320×120 with your score / trending / verified state) and Footer Icon (filled / outline / monochrome variants for footers next to LinkedIn + X). Same coverage either way.

Trade a sticker for distribution.
