ProofLayer

ProofLayer started because I kept seeing the same problem: founders launch something, need social proof to convert visitors, but can't get testimonials because they don't have users yet. It's a frustrating loop.

So I built what I wished existed -a platform that handles the entire journey from "zero users" to "wall of love."

What it does: • Early Adopter Matching: We connect founders with people who love trying new products. These aren't random signups -they're genuinely interested in discovering and supporting early-stage tools.

• Testimonial Collection: Once you have users, collecting feedback shouldn't be a pain. Our forms support video and text, are fully customizable to your brand, and take customers seconds to complete.

• Social Proof Display: Embed beautiful widgets anywhere -grids, carousels, walls of love. One line of code, auto-updates when new testimonials come in.

The business model is simple: one-time payment. Founders shouldn't have another subscription eating into runway while they're trying to get traction.

What's next:

• Automated email sequences to request testimonials at the right moment
• AI tools to pull the best quotes from video testimonials
• Deeper integrations (Stripe for post-purchase requests, Slack notifications, etc.)

We're building the toolkit I wish I had for my first launch.
