Up to [______] Shares of Common Stock

This is the initial public offering of [_______] shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of Thumzup Media Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

We are offering [_____] shares of common stock. Prior to this offering, our shares have been quoted on OTC Markets OTCQB since February 2022, with very limited trading. We currently estimate that the public offering price per share of common stock will be $[ ] per share. We intend to list our shares of common stock for trading on the CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “CBOE”), under the symbol “TZUP”. Completion of this offering is contingent on the approval of our listing application for trading of our common stock on the CBOE.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings. This prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

You must not rely on any unauthorized information or representations. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the shares offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so.
