Listing is free. Verification is paid because buyers rely on the badge. Once approved, you unlock stronger trust, distribution, warm-intro eligibility, and Signal’s partner workflow infrastructure.
Free profile first · verify when ready · no recurring base profile fee
Founders come to The Signal when they already know what they need. The Verified badge is why they trust what they see.
Your profile shows what buyers need to understand you. Verified partners add Signal review, clearer ownership context, and a badge buyers can rely on.
Verified partners appear above Listed profiles in every search and category. Standard filter is "verified-only" — unverified listings get buried.
Relevant founder briefs, intro context, profile updates, and follow-up activity can be routed through Signal’s partner CRM and operating workflow.
Every new verified partner gets announced on Telegram and LinkedIn and featured in the daily digest. You don't have to drive your own launch traffic.
Every Verified listing passes a hybrid review — automated KYB checks combined with a manual look from our team.
Where needed, we use verification partners and public registries to confirm your company exists as a legal entity and your registration is current.
Someone on our team personally reviews every applicant — your website, LinkedIn, social presence, and prior client work.
Screened against OFAC and EU sanctions lists, and cross-referenced with Companies House, Delaware DOS, SEC EDGAR, and similar public registries.
Basic profiles can be reviewed as Listed first. Verification timing depends on the company details and any follow-up checks needed.
Submit once. Go Listed first. Verify when the trust layer matters.
Create a public profile first — who you are, what you do, and who you serve. You can come back later to add a deck, case studies, and richer proof.
Verification is a one-time review step for teams that want the Verified badge, Signal distribution, CRM setup, and qualified warm-intro eligibility.

Verified partners get stronger ranking, a public launch post, marketplace eligibility, and a profile connected to the partner dashboard for ongoing updates.

It covers manual review of your company basics, registry details, website, team context, declarations, references where relevant, profile QA, and setup inside Signal’s partner CRM and intro workflow. It is not a recurring subscription for the base profile.
If a paid verification review cannot be approved, we give a written reason and refund the review fee. Common issues include unverifiable company details, sanctions concerns, or missing ownership context.
Listed profiles can be reviewed quickly when the information is complete. Verification timing depends on the company details, declarations, and any follow-up checks we need.
