WHY JOIN NOW

Three reasons joining the first cohort is
worth more than it costs.

Oliebids isn’t yet a busy platform, that’s exactly the point. The contractors who join while it’s quiet end up on top when it isn’t.

REASON 01 / 03

Marketplaces reward the first ones in.

Every review you collect compounds. By the time the platform is busy, a founding contractor has a year-long head start and a wall of five-star jobs. New entrants are bidding from zero.

  • Reviews compound, fast
    Early jobs put your name at the top of every bid card. Late joiners spend months catching up.
  • Hand-reviewed onboarding
    We onboard founders ourselves, no launch-day pile-up.
  • First chance at matching jobs
    Verified founders get an alert when a public job matches their trade and ZIP.

REASON 02 / 03

Wearing the badge actually wins bids.

Homeowners see the orange founding badge on every card you submit. It signals trust, vetting, and "this person was here from day one", the closest thing a marketplace has to seniority.

  • Founding badge on every bid
    Orange chip, top-of-card, never hidden behind filters.
  • Separate verification badge
    Approved documents add the verified badge beside founding status.
  • Founding directory priority
    Founders sort before standard contractors, then rating breaks the tie.

REASON 03 / 03

Free forever isn't a coupon, it's lifetime math.

Founding pricing isn't a one-month trial. Contractors accepted during the founding window are free forever, every month, every renewal, and every paid plan we ship after launch.

  • $0 / month, forever
    For founding contractors. No card on file, no trial timer.
  • Locked through any future repricing
    If we raise prices in year two, your founding rate doesn’t move.
  • Founding priority review
    Founding submissions rise above standard submissions in the admin queue.

THE FOUNDING BADGE

One mark. It shows up everywhere homeowners look.

Wear it on every bid you submit, on your public profile, and in the search results homeowners scroll through. It’s the seniority signal other marketplaces never give early adopters.

On every bid card you submit
Orange chip next to your business name, always visible.
On your public contractor profile
Anchored to your name, with the cohort and join date.
In homeowner search results
Filterable to “founding contractors only”, and many homeowners will.
For life, never expires
Tied to your account. Not a year-one promotion that quietly disappears.

FAQ FOR CONTRACTORS

Real questions, real answers.

Anything we missed? Email the founding team

Is the founding rate really for life?
Yes. Contractors accepted during the founding window stay at $0 per month for every plan we release. If we raise prices later, your founding rate does not move. It is tied to your account, not a promo code.
