First listing free forever · Optional paid upgrades
Founders helping founders
get their first traffic.
StartupBar is a mutual traffic exchange for indie founders. Add one line of code. A small bar appears on your site showing another founder's startup. In return, yours gets shown on theirs.
Enter your site to add it to the network.
How it works
You promote others. Others promote you.
- ✓Embed bar → promotes a verified startup
- ✓They embed → your startup gets featured back
- ✓Bigger network = more reach for everyone
One line of code. Infinite reach.
- ✓Works on Next.js, Webflow, WordPress — anything
- ✓Async load — never blocks your page
- ✓Auto-updated, always shows the best match

Loading globe…
See which visits
become signups.
Clicks tell you people arrived. Optional signup tracking tells you they joined. It uses the widget you already have — no second install.
- ✓Signed confirmations
Your server sends a signed report when a genuinely new account is created — the default, most reliable method.
- ✓Shown honestly
Signed partner confirmations and browser success-page reports are counted and labelled separately.
- ✓Private by default
Anonymous referrals, a 30-day window, no customer names or emails. Test reports never touch your real totals.
- How signup tracking works
Referral visit → new account → signed signup report.
The fairest growth channel
you'll ever ship.
Your first listing is free forever — you trade a 36px bar. Paid upgrades are optional extras.
Every site in the network is a founder's own product, reviewed by a human before it goes live.
No SDK, no onboarding flow, no dashboard to manage. Paste once and forget.
Keep your listing.
Lose the bar.
Supporter membership keeps your startup rotating across the network without placing the bar on your own site. You keep your profile page, your dashboard, and you get the gold highlight reserved for supporters.
- ✓Your listing still rotates across the network
- ✓Gold highlight on the network page and the leaderboard
- ✓Full dashboard with impressions, clicks and referrals
- ✓An optional invisible analytics code for your visitor map
The bar leaves. Your presence in the network stays.
