No references yet?
Send verifiable proof.
BeRef is the pre-reference proof layer for early B2B SaaS founders. When a buyer asks "who else have you worked with?", turn the real answer into honest, labeled proof — so "no logos yet" stops costing you the deal.
No fake logos on this page either — by design.
One flow, start to signed reference.
Watch how it moves: each step feeds the next, until "no logos yet" becomes proof a buyer trusts.
Your founder identity and credibility — name, role, domain depth, track record. Published to a public proof page.

Running in a real customer's production, right now.

Straight answers.
Isn’t this just faking proof?
The opposite. Buying or selling fake reviews has been illegal in the US since 2024 (FTC). BeRef makes verifiable proof visible and defensible — every asset is labeled (“pilot outcome”, “demo”, “founder statement”), so buyers trust you more, not less.
I have zero customers. What do I even put in?
That’s exactly the problem BeRef solves. Start with founder credibility, a working demo, and a scoped pilot plan — all real, none fake. Then run a few design-partner pilots and convert them into your first verified proof.
What do I say when a buyer asks for references I don’t have?
That’s the exact moment BeRef is built for. Instead of a defensive “we’re new”, you send a Buyer Room — your founder credibility, clearly-labeled demos and samples, and a scoped 14-day pilot offer. Clear, specific, and low-risk for the buyer.
How is this different from testimonial tools?
Testimonial tools wait for happy customers. BeRef helps you create and document your first ones — and labels every asset transparently instead of blurring what’s real.
Why not just build a Notion page or send a deck myself?
You can — but a deck won’t stop you from blurring a demo into a “customer result”, and it gives a buyer nothing to verify. BeRef enforces a clear label on every asset, builds a room per buyer instead of one generic page, and tracks consent so a quote or logo is provably permissioned. It’s the difference between looking organized and being checkable.
How is a 14-day pilot different from a free trial?
A pilot has defined scope, a success metric by day 14, real commitment (often paid), and consent agreed up front. Free trials create tire-kickers; scoped pilots create proof.
Do my buyers need a BeRef account to open what I send them?
No. A Buyer Room is built to be shared by link — your prospect just opens it and sees exactly what’s labeled Live, Demo, Pilot Outcome, and so on. Keeping it low-friction for the buyer is the whole point.
How do you handle consent and privacy?
Consent is logged and revocable. People know exactly what they’re agreeing to and can withdraw at any time — the proof is unpublished immediately. GDPR-ready by design.
