It's so obviously just that the other company was like checking to see how your product and there's integrates. They weren't actually using it. But now they're in the "Trusted by" panel on the homepage.
- ghaff 4y agoWhile I don't doubt that, especially smaller, companies randomly use logos based on anecdotes or email signups, I can assure you that, at companies of any size, customer references go through a lot of vetting and whole teams devoted to it. And customer references are a big deal. Companies absolutely want to see other companies in their industry which are using your product and even have conversations with their peers about it.
- conductr 4y agoI tend to assume they’re all connected via founder’s prior employment/school/friends etc and so yeah they tapped their networks and they probably check out their friends new startup product. Maybe they’ve given some pre launch feedback but I also tend to think they’re not likely to indicate having a significant usage/integration at that logo company.
