Affiliate Disclosure

In plain English

Some of the links on StartupHub.ai are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up, we may receive a commission from that partner. You do not pay any extra — the price is the same as if you went directly to the partner's site.

The commission helps fund our team, our infrastructure, and the free tools we publish (Email Validator, Agent Readiness scanner, Market Map Maker, etc.).

How it affects our coverage

It doesn't. Editorial decisions — what we cover, how we rank tools, what we recommend — are made independently of any commercial relationship. A partner being paid does not get a better review; a non-partner does not get ignored.

We disclose every paid relationship the FTC asks us to. If you ever spot a link that should be marked as affiliate but isn't, email [email protected] and we'll fix it.

How to spot an affiliate link on our site

• An "Affiliate" pill appears next to the link.
• An affiliate-disclosure banner is shown above any article that contains affiliate links.
• The link uses rel="sponsored nofollow" in the page source.
• The destination URL contains a referral parameter or routes through a tracking domain.
