Advertise in the ICU
SaaS ICU is a hospital room where the patient is SaaS. Every day people come in to check the Death Index, vote on the plug and pin a farewell note. Your brand is part of the room while they do.

- Actively looking, per visitor a day
A visitor is a random id in a first-party cookie, never an address, and there are no third-party trackers. Bots are left out. A spot counts an impression once per page load, after it has been on screen for a second. Return rates appear once 30 first-time visitors have had the chance to come back.
Where your brand goes
The numbered placements are in the room itself. The polaroids hang in the ward on the TV, and the share card travels with every shared link.

How bidding works
- Pick placements and days. A day runs midnight to midnight UTC; the share card runs Monday to Sunday.
- Upload your brand kit. One kit covers every placement, and every creative is checked by hand before it runs.
- Bid. The highest bid takes each placement for the day, and you're only charged if you win.
Bidding opens on this page soon.
House rules
- Only companies that sell software by subscription can advertise. AI-native counts.
- No chipmakers. The machines can buy their own ads.
- Never for sale: the Death Index, the patient, the patient chart, the whiteboard, the morgue, the plug vote and the farewell notes. The numbers stay honest and the notes stay the visitors' own.
