One placement inside the leaderboard. Half of a founding slot.
6.1% of the strip
One of 12 in the strip that runs on every public page.
The strip runs on the home page, the leaderboard, and every startup and founder profile. One loop is 33 places long. A founding sponsor holds 6 of them, a sponsor 3, and each ad slot 2, spread out so the same name never appears twice in a row.
A founding sponsor gets exactly twice a sponsor, everywhere, and that ratio holds whatever the board looks like on the day.
Worth being straight about: one loop takes about five minutes, so a single visitor sees part of it, not all of it. The two to one ratio is what holds across visitors, not inside any one visit. On a phone everyone sees fewer places than on a laptop.
