Ship Pile

There are two separate things worth keeping apart. Advertising buys four slots beside the title, shown while nobody is typing. Listing costs $29 once. Ranking is Jev being asked once per startup whether it fits your problem, and that sits outside both.

The page does not say. It states that Jev is asked one question per startup, is this it, and that startups solving your problem float up while the rest stay buried. Whether paid entries are excluded from that ranking, capped, or indistinguishable is not documented.

Not really. Five searches a day is the limit and repeating a question you already asked today is free, so you can re-rank the pile but not explore new angles without spending one of the five. It is a deliberately narrow funnel rather than a general directory search.

The count is live and moves, and the directory mixes public data with startups added by the people who built them. Listings say they go live within a minute of payment, so the pile changes quickly in both directions. Nothing explains how entries get removed or how stale descriptions get caught.

It gets asked once per startup: is this it? Jev is a model that does not write, so it answers that question with a probability, and the startups that solve the described problem float up while the rest stay buried.

Listing a startup is $29 once and it goes live in a minute. Advertising is $10 an hour or $99 a day for one of four slots beside the title, shown while nobody is typing, and the page says a slot goes up the minute payment lands.

The page credits @kraayenjon and says it is made with Jev. It describes the data as public data plus startups listed by the people who built them, and the picking is done by Jev, a model that does not write and only answers a question with a probability.
