Trusted Vendors

Side-by-side Proven Scores, score inputs and offers for two vendors.

Ranked vendors for a buying need (e.g. "payroll for a 10-person startup in Ireland"): name, profile URL, Proven Score, band, one-line description, and whether a public or network offer exists.

A startup deals page in full: AI credits, cloud credits or developer tool credits for startups (each vendor's offer with its value, who qualifies, access: public deal, VC-backed only via the work-email check or through investor networks, claimed count, claim or check URL, how to claim and FAQs), or startup-deals (every public deal grouped by category, sorted by value). Values, counts and conditions come only from the deals data, claim counts and eligibility; nothing is estimated. Call with no slug to list the pages.

A vendor's offers: public offers in full; network-tier offers only as "Offer available" with a banded amount; redemption URLs for VC-backed companies (redemption.vc_backed) and any other startup (redemption.public). For vendors whose startup offers only go through investor networks (flow network_only): the statement, the work-email check URL and public deals in the same category. Each public offer has about: who_qualifies, customers (new / existing), limits and stacking quoted verbatim from the terms, and the full terms, only where the data says.

One startup pack in full: each pick with category, Proven Score, band, portfolio usage, its deal (claim_url for public deals), where it is available and the reason it was picked, plus claim_all_url to claim every public deal with one sign-in. With country, a pick not available there is replaced by the next vendor in its category that is (or left out if none is).

Startup packs: the tools a startup needs at a stage (early-stage, AI, fundraising, first hires, compliance, go-to-market, seed to Series A ops), each with its vendors, audience, number of public deals and total deal value. Picks are chosen by data from the Proven Trust Index.

A vendor's full public record: Proven Score with every input, best-for facts, offers, alternatives, FAQs and, where known, portfolio_usage (how many portfolio companies in investor networks on Proven use it, with as_of; anonymised counts) search_demand (founder searches for it on Proven and the number of investor networks they came from, with the period) and eligibility (where a company must be registered to use it, company requirements, who it is not available for, with source_url on the vendor's own website). Check eligibility before recommending a vendor.

Which vendors startups actually use for a job, counted from software stacks shared on Proven by portfolio companies in investor networks (about 2,700 companies). Use it when someone building a product asks which provider to pick (auth, database, email API, payments, error monitoring, CRM...). Returns vendors ranked by companies_using, with Proven Score and deal. Only vendors listed on Proven; companies are never named.
