Proven gives your fund a branded marketplace where founders access vetted vendors, exclusive perks and discounts — and where your B2B portfolio companies publish their own offers, sell to sister companies, and may be recommended to other marketplaces across the Proven network, subject to fit and approval.
Free for firms under $1B AUM. No credit card. Every fund is verified, and we build your marketplace for you.

For founders buying
Give every portfolio company a branded marketplace of vetted vendors, exclusive perks, and discounts across the categories they already buy — cloud, compliance, HR, legal, finance and more. Track redemptions, engagement, and savings from one dashboard.
For B2B portfolio companies selling
Your B2B portfolio companies publish a verified profile and offer. Sister companies buy from the founders their investor already backs — and strong-fit sellers may be recommended to other relevant marketplaces across the Proven network.
Cross-network distribution is not automatic. It depends on company consent, marketplace relevance, Proven review, and receiving-marketplace approval.
Why funds switch it on
One company's result, shared with the fund's permission. Not a promise of future performance.
Sales leaders across the network use Proven to reach the founders they can't get to any other way: through the investor those founders already trust. The fund's name is withheld at their request. It's why the network now holds 4,500+ verified vendor profiles — many of them recommended in by the top firms whose portfolio companies use them.
