How Tokens Work

1 token = 1 opportunity live for 30 days
Every time you publish an opportunity on StartupPage (hiring, fundraising, co-founder search, or startup for sale), you spend 1 token. Your opportunity stays active for 30 days, then expires. You can renew it by spending another token.
Tokens by Plan
⚠️ Monthly tokens do not accumulate. Every billing cycle resets your balance to zero.
Key Rules
30-minute cancellation window If you cancel an opportunity within 30 minutes of publishing, your token is fully refunded.
After 30 minutes You can still cancel the opportunity, but the token is not returned.
Renewal When an opportunity expires after 30 days, you can renew it from Publish by spending 1 token.
What You Can Publish
Each token can be used for any of the 4 opportunity types:
💡 If an opportunity type requires a linked startup, make sure you've added one in My Startups first.
Where to Publish
Everything happens from Publish in your dashboard. Click "Create your first opportunity", choose your type, fill in the details, and you're live.
Your opportunity will appear on your startup's public page, your personal profile, and the Opportunities Marketplace.
Quick Example
You're on the Starter plan. On March 1st you publish a Hiring opportunity. That costs 1 token. The opportunity stays live until March 31st. On April 1st your token resets and you can publish again. If you need more than 1 opportunity per month, upgrade to Growth or Lifetime for 3 tokens/month.
