For offshore software agencies selling into the US & EU

The deals you lose usually aren't about your work.

You out-bid the competition, your portfolio is real, your pricing is fair. And the deal still dies in a procurement review you never see. Prevouched gives the buyer something they can point to: a public rubric you've cleared, a verified badge we can revoke at any time, and a US-based liaison who joins the calls where the relationship is most fragile.

Where deals die

Four ways you lose a deal that have nothing to do with your work.

L-01
pattern

Silence after the second call

Pricing was fine. The portfolio landed. Then the thread goes quiet and you never hear why. Usually the real reason isn't your work. It's that nobody on the buyer's side wants to be the one who picked an offshore team they can't vouch for.

L-02
pattern

Procurement adds a US-vendor requirement

Mid-cycle, a new rule appears that you can't meet on paper. It looks like discrimination. It's actually the buyer's procurement team trying to cover themselves. Because they have no other way to put their risk on someone else.

L-03
pattern

The buyer asks for references and disappears

Even great references can't move a deal that's already been filed under "too risky." Reference calls happen after the buyer has decided how much they want to believe. Not before.

L-04
pattern

A weaker shop wins on "easier to work with"

The competitor's only real advantage was a shared time zone and a name the buyer's boss recognized. You didn't lose on capability. You lost on familiarity. That's a problem we can fix.

What you get

Five things. They stack.

Each one depends on the one below it. The badge means nothing without the audit. The liaison means nothing without the badge. The directory means nothing without all three.

What Prevouched does
What you get
Vetting & badge
We run the audit, host your public verification page, and stand behind the revocation policy.
Pass once, use it everywhere. Website, proposals, RFP responses, email signature. The same badge follows every deal.
Directory inbound
Buyers find you through the directory already convinced you're real. Every intro we route is tracked.
A second pipeline you don't have to staff. Featured listings at Backed, top placement at Managed.
Written accountability
A named US liaison owns the relationship in writing. Escalation acknowledged within one business hour, recovery call within 48.
Buyers stop emailing your founder at 2am. They email the liaison, who handles it during their workday.
Live calls (metered)
The liaison joins four kinds of call: pitch, kickoff, milestone review, escalation. Daily standups are explicitly excluded. That's your team's job.
A US presence on the calls that decide whether a deal closes or survives. Without paying for coverage you don't need.
Sales enablement
Pitch coaching, expectation-setting templates, and quality frameworks you can hand a buyer in week one.
Most engagements never need an escalation because expectations were written down on day one.

Common questions

You're probably wondering.

The questions every agency asks before applying. Answered in plain terms. If yours isn't here, the contact form reaches a partner within one business day.

01
Is this just a directory listing?
No. The directory is one of five things you get, and it's worthless on its own. What makes it useful is the audit behind every listing. Buyers can defend the choice internally because the rubric is public and the badge can be revoked.
02
Will the liaison replace our PM?
No. The liaison only joins four kinds of call: pitch, kickoff, milestone review, and escalation. Your PM keeps running standups, sprints, and day-to-day communication. The liaison's job is accountability, not delivery.
03
What stops you from competing with us?
How we make money. Prevouched only ever invoices the agency. We're never a party to your client contract, and we don't employ developers. To compete with you, we'd have to publicly change the entire business model.
04
Can we lose the mark?
Yes. That's the point. Lying on the audit, hiding subcontractors, repeated missed SLAs, or a security incident triggers review. Revocation shows up on your public verification page within minutes. A badge that can't be lost isn't worth anything.
05
What if our buyer has never heard of Prevouched?
The badge works whether they've heard of us or not. The verification page reads like a credentials document. Dates, rubric version, evidence summary, current status. A buyer's counsel can read it cold and know exactly what it means.
06
Why are you doing this if you don't take the contract?
Because being honest is cheaper than being dishonest. We charge a membership fee and a capped success fee. We don't take a cut of delivery. That keeps us aligned with the buyer instead of with deal volume.
The promise

Your contract stays yours. We stand next to it, never on top of it.

Prevouched only ever invoices the agency. A membership fee, plus a capped success fee on deals we sourced or saved. We're never a party to your client contract. We don't employ developers. We don't white-label your delivery. Every part of our business. Billing, contracts, data model. Is built to keep it that way.
