Why Mentioned
The relationships behind a business
We make the relationships behind a business visible, because those relationships are what people actually rely on when they decide who to trust.
Why it matters

Every business is also a customer.

So the truest signal of who to trust is not a star rating from strangers. It is which businesses put their name beside another. Mentioned maps those relationships, so owners build each other up, and customers see who is actually trusted, for what, and by whom.

How to use

Two ways in.

If you run a business
List it, tell the story

Add your founder story, your circle of contractors and suppliers, and the businesses you recommend. Find capital you qualify for. Then get found by the customers your network already sends your way.

List your business
If you are looking for a business
See who's vouched for, and why

Search the directory and find the businesses other owners stand behind. You see who recommends them, what they are trusted for, and how the people who work with them actually use them. Real businesses naming a name, and saying why.

Search the directory
Underserved communities These tags surface businesses from communities that are often underserved, so the people who want to find and support them can. Self-declared, optional, used only to help you discover a business, never to screen one out.

Every business you support, every business you are looking for.

These tags surface businesses from communities that are often underserved, so the people who want to find and support them can. They are self-declared by owners, completely optional, and used only to help you discover a business, never to screen one out. Browse by community, or skip it entirely.

Why it works

Good for the business, the customer, and the relationship between them.

Mentioned is built on one idea: every business is also a customer. Here is what that unlocks for each side of the table.

01
For the business

Vouched for, not rated.

Real businesses name the businesses they trust, and say why. You get found through genuine recommendations, not ads and not star ratings from strangers.

02
For the customer

Find businesses you can trust.

Search the directory and see who is recommended, what they are trusted for, and by whom. Every choice comes with a real reason behind it, from people who actually work with them.

03
For the relationship

Your network becomes an asset.

Your circle of suppliers, partners, and the businesses you recommend becomes visible, and every recommendation strengthens the network you already rely on.
