Get answers to some Frequently Asked Questions

Why do VC and PE firms trust Proven?
VC firms get hundreds of calls and emails from companies who want to do business with their portfolio companies. It's very hard for them to manage all the requests. VC and PE firms like to work with brands they know and trust. Proven helps by managing deals, discounts and perks from major vendors, as well as by providing a "preferred vendor database" for VC and PE firms. Proven is an 'invite only' platform where you are invited to create a profile.
How do we get invited to join a VC or PE community?
If you've worked with a VC in the past, you know how careful they are around recommending suppliers. VCs can invite you to join their Proven platform. You can also reach out to us and tell us who you've worked with, and we can try to help make an introduction.
Can you connect us with VC firms in Silicon Valley?
If you have worked with one of our customer's portfolio companies, then yes, we'd be happy to make an introduction.
Is there a cost?
There's no cost to be included in the platform. However, we're very careful about who we invite. We're looking for companies that have a proven track record of working with venture backed startups, that have good relationships with VC firms, and who are willing to offer their product or service at a deep discount to portfolio companies.
Can I join your platform as a vendor?
Just send us a spreadsheet of your current vendors and we’ll take care of the rest. We'll create a preferred vendor platform that only you and your portfolio companies can access, and give you full control of the system. We’ll even make sure the branding matches your website.
