The Verified Badge
Embed the badge, and both sides win: your site gets a real dofollow link from Maidensail — a DR30 domain — and your listing shows buyers and investors you're real — no domain ownership proof required, just the embed.
What it looks like on your site
SVG, ~1 KB, no tracking scripts — light and dark variants
Embed the badge. One line of HTML, anywhere on your site. The badge links to your Maidensail listing (dofollow).
Your listing links back — dofollow. Your permanent Registry page carries a dofollow link to your domain, plus the ✓ mark everywhere your startup appears on Maidensail.
We check, fairly. Our crawler periodically confirms the badge is live. Take it down and your backlink quietly becomes nofollow — no penalties, no drama. Put it back and it upgrades again.
206 of 336 listed startups are still unverified — leaving a $200–500 link unclaimed. Verification takes five minutes.
