Refer your firm in three steps

We wrote the email. You just hit send. It takes about 30 seconds.

01

Hit “Refer your VC firm”

We generate a pre-written email to your VC's Head of Platform or a partner. You don't have to write a thing.

02

Send it in 30 seconds

Drop in their name, hit send. The message already explains the free platform and includes their activation link.

03

Unlock your perks

Once your firm activates, your whole portfolio gets Proven free — and you get the premium deals and discounts.

Before you hesitate

Will my VC find this annoying?

The opposite. Heads of Platform actively want this — it's a free, branded perk for their entire portfolio. You're handing them an easy win, not asking for a favor.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free for you and free for your VC firm. Funds under $1B AUM pay nothing — the platform is funded by vetted vendors who want to reach great companies like yours.

How long does it take me?

About 30 seconds. We write the email, prefill the message, and include the activation link. You just add a name and hit send.

Free vendor-perks platform for your portfolio — worth a look
Message
Hi, I'm a founder in your portfolio and wanted to flag something genuinely useful for the firm. Proven is a vendor-management and perks marketplace that lets a fund give its entire portfolio access to exclusive deals from cloud providers, software vendors and service providers — and track the savings across companies. It's used by funds like NEA, Lightspeed and Khosla, and it's free for qualifying VC firms. If you'd like to claim the free platform for the fund, you can apply here: https://zd4qyhydwh6.typeform.com/to/zzGmVTdF?typeform-source=getproven.com More on Proven: https://www.getproven.com Thanks!

Send to your VC's Head of Platform or any partner, and BCC abigail@getproven.com so we can help them get set up.

Free for you and free for your VC. We'll handle the intro.
