In-Game Sponsors: Branded Placement Inside Games

In-game sponsors appear inside the games on The Startup Launch Page — Chess, Tetris, Sudoku, Crossword, Hacker Typer, and more. They are completely separate from the canvas grid.

How it works

When a user plays any game on the platform, sponsor logos and branding appear as part of the game interface — as banners, side panels, or integrated into the game environment. This is non-intrusive advertising that doesn't interrupt gameplay.

Sponsors rotate through the available game slots. Each sponsor gets exposure across all games, not just one.
