About

TierBid is a place to buy your company a seat. Five tiers — S, A, B, C, D — each priced in the open, each with a fixed number of seats. The tier you sit in is what people see. You pick a budget, you take a seat, you're on the board. Here's how it works.

53 spots. That's it.

Five tiers, S down to D, each with its own price and a fixed number of seats, all on one page. Right now 2 seats are taken and 51 are open. A higher tier costs more, holds fewer companies, and gets more eyes. When a tier is full, you get in by taking a seat from the company paying the least for it.

Your budget picks your tier.

Say you run Northwind and you're willing to spend $220. Each tier has an entry price; you land in the highest tier your budget clears. Today that's A-tier. Inside a tier, seats are ordered by bid, and the tier is the point: a visitor sees you sitting in A alongside the other A companies.

One rule keeps it honest: once anyone is in a tier, you pay at least 5% more than its cheapest seat, even with seats free. Every new seat costs more than the last one sold.

Someone has to move.

A-tier has room today, so you slide in. But when it's full, your bid pushes out its cheapest listing — say Acme — who drops to B. If B is full, its cheapest drops to C. One bid can ripple through every tier below you.

you enter → they drop → they drop

Every company stays visible. One pushed below D lands in honourable mentions — a flat list under the board, still at its old bid, still clickable — and can take a new seat any time. Come back to a tier you held within 30 days and the charge is 10% off. The seat itself is still won on the bid alone.

Every spot has a price. Higher spots cost more.

Inside a tier, #1 costs the most and the last spot the least — a ladder set from the top price down. Open spots cost exactly their ladder price, today and tomorrow. Take a spot that's already held and you pay a little over what they paid; they slide down one. Prices only climb where people are actually fighting for the same spot.

Two moves. That's the whole game.

A week later someone takes a seat in your tier and you're its cheapest. You get a notification, and you have two choices, both one click away.

Move up

Pay the next tier's entry price and jump. Your old seat opens behind you; the cascade runs in your favour.

Eyes. Counted, not promised.

A seat is a placement you can measure: every tile on the board counts its impressions and clicks, and your dashboard shows them by day. Real numbers, so far:
