BeatMyFunnel / About

Who runs this, and how proof works.

BeatMyFunnel is where DTC growth agencies and operators prove their results are real. Every client claim is either confirmed by the brand or plainly marked Unconfirmed, and the strongest proof is a win in a live bounty.

Ownership and disclosure

BeatMyFunnel is owned by Kosta Hantzis. Kosta also owns Kleos Media, a marketing agency. To avoid a conflict, Kleos Media is not listed in Hire, is never recommended in matching, and can't appear in rankings.

Proof levels

1. Live bounty win: won a public bounty the brand posted and judged. 2. Brand-confirmed result: the brand signed off on the number, date window, channel and data source. 3. Brand-confirmed client: someone at the brand confirmed the relationship, role and dates from a work email, checked by a person. 4. Unconfirmed: self-reported, or published by a third party such as a testing tool's case study. Shown with its source, ranked last.

How ranking works

Best proof level first, then the number of brand-confirmed clients, then the size of the lift, then sample size. Paying never changes anyone's rank. A featured slot, when it exists, is labeled and limited to one per page.

How confirmation works

An agency adds a client and gets a signed link that expires in 30 days. The agency sends it to its contact at the brand. BeatMyFunnel never emails brands. The brand confirms or disputes with its work email (it must match the brand's domain when we know it), and a person checks every answer before it's published with the date. Brands can also search for themselves on Check my brand; if we don't know a brand's domain, we still accept a work-email answer and check it by hand.

Disputes

If a brand says it never worked with an agency, the claim comes off the record and the profile shows “Brand disputed this claim” with the date. The agency can reply once and a person reviews it. We use neutral wording and only show what the brand said. Any brand can search its name and dispute a claim without a link.

Current vs past

Clients show as Current or Past using the dates the brand confirms. “Current” switches to Past 12 months after the last confirmation unless the brand re-confirms.

Seeded profiles

Some profiles are seeded from public wins and marked Unclaimed, with credit and a source link. Intros to unclaimed profiles are held and never forwarded without the operator's opt-in. Anyone featured can claim their profile or ask us to remove it.

Money

Brands never pay. Listing is free for agencies and operators, and the first intros are free. Per-intro pricing comes later, and we'll say so before it starts. Later: an optional membership with a verified badge and a featured slot, and a cut of bounties once escrow exists.
