Common questions
What makes a good partner fit?
We're selective because readers trust us. Good fits include companies serving startups, founders, or investors; universities and accelerators; conferences; corporate innovation teams; service providers; and employers hiring tech talent. We will decline partners that are misleading, unrelated to our audience, or inconsistent with our editorial standards.
Do partnerships impact editorial decisions?
No. Partner support helps Hypepotamus, but it does not buy editorial coverage. Partner placements are clearly labeled, and news coverage remains completely separate. Partners cannot review or influence editorial coverage.
Will my placement be clearly labeled?
Always. Every ad placement and piece of partner content is clearly marked as such. We take reader trust seriously.
Can I target a specific city or state?
Some campaigns can be customized around a topic, event, or regional initiative. General site and newsletter sponsorships are designed to reach the broader Hypepotamus Southeast audience.
Can we use tracking links?
Yes. UTM parameters are welcome. We recommend using links that work reliably across browsers, inboxes, and privacy tools.
What does sponsorship cost?
Pricing depends on placement, timing, and scope. Reach out for current availability and rates — we'll respond within one business day.
Tell us what you're promoting, who you want to reach, and when you want to launch. We'll take it from there.
