Partnerships & sponsorship
Chambers of commerce, community organizations and media who share the mission. We work together through co-marketing, referrals in both directions and co-hosted events. These relationships are mostly relationship-based, not cash — if you’re building for the same community, let’s build together.

Paid visibility inventory for brands that want to reach this audience — event packages, labeled directory placements, annual editorial properties and more. Sponsors buy visibility, never credibility: sponsorship has no effect on verification, and every placement is clearly labeled.
Founding partner pricing — let’s talk.
No fixed price lists here — we’re a founding directory, and partner pricing reflects where we are. Every conversation starts with what you’re trying to reach.
Labeled ad slots on directory and category pages for diaspora-relevant brands — banks, remittance, shipping, telecoms, insurance, legal and immigration services.
Every slot is clearly marked “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” and kept visually separate from member listings and verification marks.
Your logo on the event page and agenda, plus a mention at the event itself.
Three tiers — Community, Supporting and Presenting — so you can match your presence to the moment.
Our annual editorial list, with one presenting sponsor per year.
Sponsorship supports the list; it never influences who appears on it.
“State of African Entrepreneurship in America” — a per-edition report with one title sponsor.
The research stays independent; the sponsor is credited, never quoted as a source.
A celebration of the community, with tiered sponsor packages.
Planning begins once the directory reaches the scale a gala deserves.
TierLinQ is a founding directory — and we’ll be honest about that. Partner pricing reflects where we are today, and early partners grow with the platform as the audience does.
What we can promise from day one: a verified, criteria-based directory; an engaged community of African entrepreneurs and the people who buy from and partner with them; and sponsor placements that are always clearly labeled and never confused with verification.
Verified listings
Every business and entrepreneur in the directory passes a criteria-based review.
Open to all
Anyone can browse, buy and partner — the directory serves the whole market.
Growing audience
Directory, events and readership figures are shared with partners as they’re measured.
Premium is a member visibility product — it’s how a listed business or entrepreneur raises their own profile inside the directory. Sponsorship is outsider marketing: your brand reaching our audience through events, reports and labeled placements. Members buy Premium; partners sponsor.
Tell us who you’d like to reach and what you’re planning — we’ll come back with options that fit.
