The lid marketplace · early access
Your lid is prime real estate
Startups bid on sticker zones across whole segments: a company, a city, a region. When your lid matches, you approve the decal, we ship the vinyl, and you get paid monthly for as long as it rides.
Free for lid owners. Nothing permanent, ever.
- 2,314 lids on the waitlist

How it works
From signup to payout in three moves
- 01
Claim your lid
Sign up with where you work, where you live, and your handles. That profile is the inventory advertisers bid on. Your name stays out of it.
- 02
Approve the matches
Startups never bid on you personally. They bid on segments: a company's engineers, a city, a region. When a campaign matches your profile, you see the startup, the decal, and the rate. Veto anything you wouldn't wear.
- 03
Stick and earn
We print die-cut vinyl and mail it to you. Stick it on, snap a photo to verify, and collect the payout every month it stays on.
For bidders: three ways to aim
By company
Reach engineers at specific employers. Your decal rides into their office every morning.
By city
Own the coffee shops and coworking spaces. Every claimed lid in Berlin, SF, or Taipei.
By region
Broad reach across a metro or a whole timezone when you want volume over precision.
