Founding Developer program

Last updated July 10, 2026

The first 500 developers to join PreciseDevs get permanent Founding status. It’s automatic — if a seat is left when you register, it’s yours forever.

What Founding Developers get

  • ★ Founding badge on your profile and directory card — permanently. It marks you as early, and hirers notice.
  • Priority matching — when the team builds a shortlist and two profiles are equally strong, the founding profile goes first. Forever.
  • Free Verified upgrade — when the Verified program launches (skill and identity assessment by the team), founding members get it free instead of paying.

How seats are counted

Live and honestly: the homepage shows the exact number of founding seats remaining, counted from real registrations (pending email verifications included). When the counter hits zero, the program closes and never reopens.

Do business developers count?

Yes — the 500 seats cover both talent tracks. A business developer registering while seats remain gets the same permanent badge and priority.

Is there a catch?

No. You don’t pay anything for founding status, ever, and it never expires. It exists because the first believers in a network deserve to benefit from being first — the same reason companies get their own Founding Hirer program.
