RoketAd
For advertisers

Put your product in front of people who ship.

RoketAd is a focused ad network for indie products. Instead of competing for attention across the entire internet, you reach founders, developers and early adopters who are already looking for tools like yours.

Why advertisers choose RoketAd

A smaller, more relevant audience beats a huge, indifferent one — especially when your budget is your own money.

Relevant by design

Your ad runs on sites and products inside the indie tech ecosystem, not on a general-purpose network where nobody is thinking about software.

Start small

Test a campaign with a budget you’re comfortable with, learn what converts, then scale the channels that work.

Numbers you can trust

Impressions, clicks, CTR and spend, visible per placement. No vanity metrics and no mystery traffic.

Simple creative

A headline, a short description and a destination URL. You don’t need a design team to get a campaign live.

Where your ads appear

Placements are native to the properties in the network — they sit where readers already are, without interrupting what they came for.

Native placements

Your product appears inside articles, directories and product pages on independent tech sites — clearly labelled, never disguised as editorial.

Newsletter spots

A short, readable mention in newsletters read by founders and developers, placed alongside content they already subscribe to.

Directory listings

Featured placement in curated tool and startup directories where people are actively browsing for something new.

Who you can reach

The network is built around people who build, launch and buy software for a living — or as a very serious hobby.

  • SaaS founders and early-stage teams
  • Indie hackers shipping side projects
  • Developers and technical builders
  • AI and no-code product creators
  • Newsletter and community operators
  • Early adopters looking for new tools
