Private pitch decks aren’t the same as public product websites.

It seems this team is using the old scammy marketing trick of using logos of every company you can claim any possible relationship with as a way of building trust. Plastering giant logos on a product website implies some endorsement or affiliation to most casual readers. It’s not until you read all of the text that you realize this is just a list of companies they worked at.

This is the kind of behavior that earns a sternly worded letter from corporate council. You shouldn’t expect to be able to leave a company and then put their logo on your product page.



Good point! We are just very early and our experience is our main selling point. We plan to remove it.
