The people browsing this feed are looking for launches to back. That is an unusually specific audience, and sponsored placement puts you in front of it — labelled, and bounded.
Placement
What it buys
Position in the launch feed
Your launch appears at the top of the feed for the days you book, in front of founders actively looking for people to back.
A clear Sponsored label
Every placement is badged. Not a setting, not a small-print disclosure — the label is part of the component and cannot be turned off.
A window you choose
Book by the day, up to 14. Most founders take the few days either side of their launch, when intent to reciprocate is highest.
Ordinary analytics
You can see the placement is running and when it ends. There is nothing clever here, and nothing hidden.
The boundary
What it does not buy
Worth being explicit about, because every other list on this page would be worthless if this one were not true.
It does not buy upvotes
Not one, not indirectly, not as a side effect. Support is always a founder choosing to back you after seeing your launch.
It does not create pacts
A pact still requires another founder to back you, and you to back them. Placement changes who sees you, never who commits.
It does not touch trust
Your score comes from kept and missed commitments. No amount of spend moves it, and no amount of spend protects it.
It does not affect verification
Every obligation is checked against Product Hunt identically whether or not anyone paid for anything.
Money never touches a vote
Sponsored placement buys feed position for a window, and the Sponsored badge is not optional. Support on LaunchClan is always a founder choosing to back another founder, and every commitment is verified against Product Hunt either way. Nothing here buys an upvote, a pact, or a trust score.
Book the days around your launch
Placement works best when it runs while founders are deciding who to commit to.
