I love when anything attempts to change the way I buy and find software. This is great. What does the qualification process look like?

@sterswords Good question, we have publicly available deals and then ask a few questions about your location, # of employees, and investment history. We check this info against Crunchbase and Pitchbook to verify and approve your qualifications. We eventually want to integrate the Crunchbase API so it's fully automated.

Thanks for the details @aaroncbailey, I can't believe no one has done this yet.

Hi Product Hunters,
First-time Maker here, excited to share my first product with y’all.
I used to run Corporate Partnerships at 500 Startups and built a network of perks for founders in our portfolio. During my tenure, I connected with 200+ perk providers and each had different requirements for who was able to access their discount. The main issue was there was no way to segment our portfolio to show which startup qualified for which perk.
I figured there should be one place every founder could see what perks they had access to.
Thus BuiltFirst was born, a free platform enabling every founder, VC-backed or not, to see what software perks they qualify for. Simply sign up, complete your profile, and explore thousands of dollars in savings from top providers like Stripe, Salesforce, Airtable, Twilio, etc. for free.
And VCs love it too. Rather than build an internal platform and hire a full-time associate to manage relationships with providers, VC’s can let BuiltFirst manage their offerings for free. Saving them, and their founders, time and money. We even have white-labeled logins for them.
We now have an initial list of 60+ perks available for everyone regardless of investment and 100+ more for founders who meet certain criteria set by the perk partners.
Our mission is to lower the cost barrier to entry for all startups globally.
We’re capping the initial beta to the first 1000 sign-ups.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Awesome! @aaroncbailey - just curious, how many partners do you have on board?

@aaroncbailey@brandonesc We currently have just over 100 partners onboard. The majority have posted multiple perks. This is an important aspect of the site since perk providers like to tier their discount to startups based on how likely that company is to stick around as a customer (ie survive).
