Review before publication

We do not feature every submission.

Featured placement is only useful if the directory is trusted. That is why founder listings go through a manual review before publication.

  1. 1Confirm the business is locally relevant to the Bay Area.
  2. 2Check that the submitted profile is complete enough for customers to evaluate.
  3. 3Review public reputation signals where available, including source-labeled rating or review data.
  4. 4Reject or request edits for incomplete, unverifiable, or misleading submissions.
