Earn the Vaithra Verified badge — a community-issued credential that signals you are a real, building, serious founder. Post it on LinkedIn. Share it anywhere.
Apply for Verification →Real name, real LinkedIn profile, and a valid WhatsApp number. No anonymous profiles in the verified tier. You must be who you say you are.
You must have at least one shipped product, live prototype, or documented MVP. Show us something real — a link, a GitHub repo, screenshots, or user feedback.
Active participation in the Vaithra community — attending events, contributing to discussions, or having a city representative vouch for your seriousness.
Having at least one peer-validated Proof of Build milestone gives your application significantly more weight. Not required, but strongly recommended.
Users, revenue, letters of intent, or any other evidence that your idea has demand in the real world. Even 10 real users counts.
The badge is not for people who are "planning to build." It is for people who have already started, are currently building, and can prove it.
The Vaithra Verified badge is not a participation trophy. It means our community looked at your work, verified your identity, and confirmed you are building something real.
Post it on LinkedIn. Add it to your bio. Use it in investor conversations. It signals: this person builds.
Fill in your application. Our team reviews within 48 hours and reaches out on WhatsApp. If approved, you get your badge assets and a unique verification ID.
