I built a permanent startup directory — 10,000 slots, price rises as it fills. First 100 students get a free lifetime slot.

I've been building side projects for a while and always hit the same wall: you either pay for ads that disappear the moment you stop, or you get buried on Product Hunt after 24 hours.

So I built something different.

Startup Manifest — a permanent 10,000-slot grid where each slot is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions. No renewals. Your startup stays listed forever.

Here's how it works:

🗂️ 10,000 slots on a single visual grid — like the Million Dollar Homepage but for startups

💰 Price increases as the grid fills — Early Bird slots start at $9.90, Final tier goes up to $99.90

🖼️ Optional frames to make your card stand out (Silver, Gold, Obsidian, Inferno, Diamond, Legendary)

🚀 Project Boost — pay to actively promote your project on external ad channels

🏪 Community marketplace — once all slots are sold, owners can resell to each other

📢 Ad campaign pledge — when 1,000 slots are sold, 15% of revenue goes into paid ads to drive traffic directly to the grid

The earlier you join, the cheaper your slot — and the more the platform grows, the more valuable your listing becomes.

🎓 Free Lifetime Slot for Students

I want to give back to the student builder community.

The first 100 students who email me at [e-mail] with a brief description of their project will receive:

✅ 1 free lifetime slot ✅ 1 week of Project Boost ✅ No credit card required — ever
