Why do 60% of Tier 1 VCs use Proven? Because it's an independent platform, where vendors can't pay to play. VCs want to manage their growing vendor library on one custom VC platform. Give your portfolio access to exclusive deals, track savings, and help them connect with the right vendors.

Allie Klun
Head of Platform, Sierra Ventures

“Proven makes managing our vendors easy and has saved lots of time and spreadsheet headaches!

With the platform, we're able to organize and share valuable discounts and perks with our Portfolio Companies - highlighting deals from both companies within the Sierra Ventures portfolio as well as a curated list of preferred vendors that we trust. I highly recommend checking them out!”

You already manage your vendor library and perks for free. Why pay us to help?

Because we’re not just a list of deals. We’re a Venture Capital management software designed to save you more than just money.

With Proven, you won't have to justify

Wasting time talking to vendors who aren’t a good fit for your portfolio.

Difficulty getting insight into the vendors your portfolio companies are working with

Spending hours manually updating your vendor library and list of perks

Low ROI from your portfolio companies not growing fast enough

Your portfolio burning through funds by choosing expensive, bad-fit vendors

Lack of clarity on how much you've helped your portcos save

Spreadsheets and other marketplaces can’t give you the flexibility, ease of use and transparency that we can.

We’re purpose-built for VC and PE vendor management

Proven has been built with feedback from our VC and PE customers over the years.

We have no vested interest in the vendors you work with

We don’t charge service providers anything to be a part of the platform. They can’t pay us to improve ratings or rankings.

We ensure VC firms get their money’s worth

You don’t have to manually update vendor information or verify them. We set up your platform for you, according to your specifications.

You get a thriving community of portfolio companies

Help your portfolio grow and see proof of the value you’ve helped create.

Proven is the #1 choice for Venture Capital and Private Equity firms
