The Founding 100: The Businesses Who Build TierLinQ First

Every directory starts empty. What matters is who believes first.

Today we're opening invitations to TierLinQ's first 100 Founding Members — the first 100 verified and published African diaspora-owned businesses in America on our directory. Their names will live permanently on our Founding wall, a lasting thank-you for believing early.

What a Founding Member gets

• A permanent Founding Member badge — distinct from our verification checkmark, and it never expires. Long after the promotion ends, the wall remembers who was first.
• Premium free for a full year: maximum visibility across the directory while we grow together.

What it costs

Nothing to list. Registration on TierLinQ is free — you apply, our team reviews your identity and business registration, and once verified and published, your founding spot is locked in automatically while spots remain. Verification is earned through review, never purchasable. That's a principle, not a slogan.

Why 100?

Because the first hundred set the standard. They'll be the businesses new visitors see first, the examples other founders follow, and the proof that the African diaspora builds — everywhere in America. When the hundredth spot is claimed, the invitation closes and normal registration continues. The wall stays.

How to claim your spot

List your business at tierlinq.com/list-your-business. It takes a few minutes. We'll review, verify, and publish — and your business takes its place on the wall.

The directory is the product. The founding 100 are the ones who prove it.
