Rules

top3.lol is a public startup directory with paid visibility and optional verified revenue.

Accounts & listings

You must sign in to post or manage a startup.
Listings must represent a real product website or founder profile.
Only the listing owner can pay to boost that startup's rank.

Bidding

New bids start at $2 minimum, in whole-dollar increments.
Re-bids charge only the difference from your current paid bid.
Rank equals bid amount. Equal bids keep the earlier placement.
The homepage hero shows the current top 3 by bid.

Verified MRR

Stripe restricted read-only keys are encrypted and used only to sync aggregate revenue metrics.
We do not access customer PII through Stripe verification.
MRR sync runs hourly for connected startups.

Marketplace

Founders can mark a startup for sale with asking price and notes.
Buyers contact sellers directly. top3.lol does not provide escrow.
Any acquisition terms, due diligence, and payment happen off-platform.
