New Idea: Sponsorship

Our blog is generating impressive traffic, suggesting that a company might be interested in becoming the official sponsor for our first year as a startup.

Here’s the proposal: sponsorship may go to the highest bidder, resulting in ad placements in every blog post and frequent honorary mentions. It’s bit of a gamble sponsoring potential traffic.

The value proposition is complex, but essentially, you’re helping a startup while integrating your brand into our story. To be a sponsor, your company will need resilience as we plan to share the gritty details of our journey, which could include potential failure. This opportunity is ideal for a company interested in supporting (having an offering) for startups.

Before contacting, consider the risks. We reserve the right to publish anything we wish (political content avoided). It might not always be pretty, but will be authentic. Your support will become part of our narrative, and trust that countless stories will be told.

All NDAs will, of course, be respected.

Here’s the offer: we need one year of runway—xk to do it halfway, xxk to do it well. The higher amount gives us access to better tools (x = small six figures, xx = high six figures). If interested in success, offer high; if interested in failure, offer low (actual numbers can be discussed during a meeting). Either way, your brand can become part of our story.

With or without a sponsor, this company will still succeed or fail. Your ads can be featured on our website. If interested, contact: a@litenflame.com.

We’re currently running ad campaigns, building websites, engaging in other creative ventures for various orgs, but it occurred to me that our story might also hold significant value.

P.S. I’m slightly unemployed and willing to negotiate a higher rate. Check back later for our next pivot.

Attempting to be audacious, but still:
