What you actually get
Distribution, not a sticker
The badge is the trade. The real value is the four placements your profile unlocks the moment we verify the embed.
Homepage feature slots
Verified embed → your profile gets pinned to the homepage feature rail and trending sidebars. Same surface paid Boost ads occupy.
Newsletter inclusion
Verified profiles surface in the weekly newsletter alongside our editorial picks. 62K subscribers, 18% open rate.
On-site recommendation rows
Your profile gets surfaced in recommendation rails on related profiles, sector pages, and search results.
Verified Profile badge
Your profile shows a verified badge and a trust signal on every page it appears — the kind investors look for.
How it works
Five-minute setup
Pick a variant
Big badge for hero placements or a small footer icon for sidebars / footers — same coverage benefit, different visual real estate.
Copy the embed code
One <a> + <img> tag. Drop it anywhere on your site — homepage footer, About page, partners section.
Get verified within 24h
Our crawler checks for the badge weekly. As soon as it finds yours, your profile flips to verified and starts earning featured coverage.
Earn coverage forever
As long as the badge stays on your site, your profile keeps the verified status and the placements that come with it.
Pick a variant
Big or small — same coverage
Both variants count for verification. Pick whichever fits your site's visual hierarchy.
Big badge
Score-driven, brand-prominent. Best for About pages, partners sections, hero footers.
Footer icon
Quieter — sits next to LinkedIn / X / GitHub icons in your footer. Same verification weight, less visual real estate.
