TinyPing for Startups
You build the next big thing. We will keep an eye on it.
Your launch week is not the week to learn that your site was down for six hours, or that your SSL certificate expired on a Sunday. TinyPing sponsors early-stage startups with free uptime, SSL and domain monitoring for 12 months.
- 12 months sponsored
- Application-based
- No credit card required
- First cohort: 30 startups
What you get and what we ask
What your startup gets
- 12 months of free monitoring, up to 10 monitors
- Website, keyword, ping, port and cron job (heartbeat) monitors, checked every 5 minutes
- SSL certificate and domain expiry reminders
- Alerts by email, Slack, Google Chat or webhook
- A public status page for your users
- Your whole team, free
- Email support from the people who build TinyPing
What we ask in return
- A small sponsor link on your website, marked rel="sponsored"
- Permission to list you as a supported startup
- Honest feedback, and maybe a short case study if TinyPing helps
That is it. No card, no automatic charge when the 12 months end: we remind you two weeks before, and you decide.
The sponsor link
A quiet acknowledgment in your footer, not an advert. Style it to match your site.
Example footer
<a href="https://tinyping.ai/?ref=your-code" rel="sponsored"> Monitoring sponsored by TinyPing </a>
Why rel="sponsored": the link acknowledges a sponsorship, and search engines ask for exactly that marking on sponsored links. It keeps your site and ours within their rules. Your real code comes in the acceptance email; it is how we recognise your site, so keep the address as it is. The link has to be in the HTML your server sends, since our checker does not run JavaScript.
How it works
- ApplyTell us about your startup below. It takes two minutes.
- We reviewWe read every application ourselves and reply by email, usually within a few working days.
- Claim and add the linkIf accepted, you get a link to claim the sponsorship for your TinyPing workspace, and the sponsor link for your site.
- You are liveWe check your home page automatically. As soon as the link is there, the 12 months start.
Who can apply
- Bootstrapped, pre-seed or seed startups. Series A and later companies are usually not eligible.
- A live website on your own domain, where you can add the sponsor link.
- One sponsorship per startup and per TinyPing workspace.
The fine print, in plain words
- We choose who joins, and may say no without giving a reason.
- The sponsorship covers up to 10 monitors for 12 months from the day it starts, unless we agree otherwise in your acceptance email.
- We check the link once a day. If it is gone for 14 days, the sponsorship ends; we email you first.
- When it ends, nothing is deleted. Monitors beyond what you pay for pause until you subscribe.
- We may end or change the program with notice. The Terms of Service apply as for every customer.
