Fill your landing page without begging anyone.
Tweets, testimonials, and video reviews. No cold DMs, no budget needed.
List your project, give proof to another founder, and showcase proof on your public project page.
Getting social proof is hard when you're starting out
βGetting social proof when you're starting out is brutal. Empty landing page, cold DMs ignored, friends who say 'sure' then never follow through. ProofSwap fixes it the obvious way. Founders help each other.β
Empty landing page
You built a product and need honest proof from people who have tried it.
Cold outreach is hard
Finding relevant founders one message at a time takes work.
Asking friends feels awkward
You want feedback from someone who actually used your product.
Ads cost money
A founder exchange gives you another way to ask for honest proof.
What if founders just helped each other?
How the founder exchange works
List your project
Describe your app and what social proof you need: tweets, testimonials, reviews, or more. Takes 30 seconds.
Help someone first
Find a project that needs your help. Give them a tweet, testimonial, or video review, then submit your proof.
Get proof back
Your Free listing becomes eligible for the exchange directory after you submit proof. Browse for peers who need what you can offer; a return proof is not guaranteed.
βAdded 3 projects and already got an app feedback exchange within the hour. The give-first model is smart β it filters out people who just want free stuff without contributing.β
Why founders switch to swapping
ProofSwap is built for genuine founder-to-founder exchange when cold outreach is hard.
