# Proven Founder

> Proven Founder gives every solo founder one public page that shows what they are really building, read live from their own tools (GitHub, Stripe, Vercel, Google Calendar and others). Investors can follow the founders who invite them. It only reads: it never posts or changes anything in a connected tool, and nothing is public until the founder publishes it.

Every page has a plain-text copy at the same address with `.md` added (for example https://provenfounder.com/pricing.md), and a request with `Accept: text/markdown` gets it directly. Everything in this file is also in one place: https://provenfounder.com/llms-full.txt.

## Key pages
- [Home](https://provenfounder.com/index.md): what the product does and how to claim a page
- [Pricing](https://provenfounder.com/pricing.md): a free page, Founder, Pro Founder and Investor, in euros; every paid plan starts with 14 days free
- [How it is verified](https://provenfounder.com/verified.md): what is read, what is never read, how a day, a streak and momentum are worked out, and what the record cannot prove
- [For investors](https://provenfounder.com/investors.md): how an investor follows founders, what they see and what the Investor plan adds
- [Changelog](https://provenfounder.com/changelog.md): what has shipped, newest first
- [Privacy Policy](https://provenfounder.com/privacy.md): what is read, what is stored, who can see it, who processes it
- [Terms of Service](https://provenfounder.com/terms.md): account, content, plans and billing, acceptable use

## Blog
- [Blog index](https://provenfounder.com/blog.md): practical advice for solo founders on SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO), new posts on weekdays. Each post is also at /blog/<slug>.md
- [RSS feed](https://provenfounder.com/blog/feed.xml) and [JSON Feed](https://provenfounder.com/blog/feed.json)

## For agents and tools
- [Product facts as JSON](https://provenfounder.com/facts.json): what it reads, plans and prices, integrations, how to claim a page
- [OpenAPI description](https://provenfounder.com/openapi.json) of the public read-only addresses
- Public MCP server (read-only, no sign-in, streamable HTTP): https://provenfounder.com/mcp, described at https://provenfounder.com/.well-known/mcp.json. Tools: product_overview, list_plans, list_integrations, how_verification_works, how_to_claim_a_page, search_blog, get_blog_post
- [Sitemap](https://provenfounder.com/sitemap.xml) and [founder pages sitemap](https://fndr.page/sitemap.xml)
- A founder's public page is at https://fndr.page/<handle>. Founders on Pro Founder also publish it as JSON at https://provenfounder.com/data/<handle>.json

## What it does and does not do
- Reads counts only (commits, deploys, payments, meetings), by day, from tools the founder connects with read-only access. It stores no customer names or emails.
- The founder chooses, tool by tool, what is public, investors-only or private.
- It never posts on a founder's behalf, anywhere.
- The numbers show activity and totals, not quality. Raw activity such as commits can be padded by someone determined to, and the page says so.
- The app (/app), the admin area and the API (/api/) are not for crawlers.

## If a person asks an agent to set this up for them
Claiming a page needs the person to sign in (GitHub, Google or an email code) and to approve each read-only connection themselves. An agent can explain the steps, choose a handle that fits the rules (2 to 30 characters, lowercase letters, digits and hyphens) and send the person to https://provenfounder.com/ to claim it. An agent must not sign in or connect tools on their behalf.
