Get your startup featured
Featured startups get a highlighted card, a Featured badge and a spot across Startupzel. It costs nothing and it is automatic: reach 70% discoverability and you are in.
Featured right now
This is how a featured startup looks in the lists. These picks change every time you refresh the page.
What a featured startup gets
A card that stands out
In every list (the marketplace, categories and the home page) a featured startup has a golden border and a Featured badge on its cover.
A spot on every page
A featured startup is shown near the bottom of the main pages. The pick changes each time the page is refreshed, so every featured startup gets its turn.
On screen while people read
On listing pages a small Featured card stays in the corner of the screen while visitors read, until they close it.
A place on the home page
The home page has a Featured section right under the first screen. It shows a random selection that changes on every visit.
Easier to find everywhere
Every step toward featured (shares, answers, screenshots, the badge) also helps search engines and AI assistants find your listing and quote it.
Free, and earned
Nobody can buy a featured spot. It goes to the listings that did the most to help buyers find them.
How to get featured
Every listing has a discoverability percentage. It shows how many of the steps that help people find your startup are done. When it reaches 70%, your listing is featured automatically.

Add the “For sale” badge to your website
A small badge on your own site sends visitors here and gives your listing a link from your site.
The numbers are points out of 100. Most founders get there by sharing on X, Reddit and LinkedIn and answering the questions buyers ask.
Questions about featured startups
Does it cost anything to be featured?
No. Featured spots cannot be bought. A listing is featured automatically when its discoverability reaches 70%.
How long until my listing is featured?
As soon as your discoverability reaches 70%, usually right after the step that gets you there. If you do not see the badge at once, refresh the page.
Where can I see my discoverability?
Open your own listing while you are logged in. The panel at the top shows your percentage and the steps that are left. Only you can see that panel.
Why is my listing not featured even though I reached 70%?
Only published listings are featured. A listing that is hidden, on hold or marked as sold is not. Also remember that the featured spots rotate at random, so you will not see your own listing on every refresh.
Can I lose the featured status?
Yes. It ends if your discoverability falls under 70% (for example, if you remove screenshots or answers), or if you hide the listing, mark it as sold or it is put on hold.
Does featured guarantee a sale?
No. It gives your startup more attention from buyers, but the price, the numbers and how you talk to buyers still decide the sale.
