# Blurbs is Built on Trust
## Blurbs makes MarTech discovery faster, clearer, and more respectful for both sides. We believe the best marketing technology decisions start with useful information and trust — not cold emails, not review farms, and not thoughtless, noisy summaries.
Most software discovery today is noisy and inefficient. Buyers get overwhelmed with sales outreach. Vendors spend time and money chasing leads that go nowhere.
Blurbs was created by MarTech operators Tom Barbaro, Sean Simon, and Tom Gibbons, who have worked on both sides of this process — as buyers, sellers, and builders.

## How Blurbs Works
Blurbs gives buyers clear, concise information about MarTech vendors. When buyers are ready, they can submit anonymous mini-RFPs to start direct conversations with vendors.
Vendors only respond to buyers who have indicated interest.

## What Makes Blurbs Different
Other software discovery platforms — like G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius — try and solve the problem with outdated techniques: reviews, rankings, and predatory lead generation.
Blurbs takes a different approach.
- No reviews
- No rankings based on ad spend
- No aggressive follow-up
Just useful information shared when both sides are ready.

## Why Buyers and Vendors Use Blurbs
- Buyers use Blurbs to gather believable information on their own terms.
- Vendors use Blurbs to have direct conversations with buyers who are actually interested.
- Both sides save time and avoid unnecessary noise.

## Built for a Changing Industry
MarTech spending is projected to reach $215 billion by 2027. Blurbs helps buyers and vendors navigate that landscape more efficiently.
Today, Blurbs supports a growing community of over 400 buyer members and thousands of tracked vendors.

## A More Direct Way to Start a Conversation
Blurbs is not a lead marketplace. It is not a review site. It is not ad-supported.
It is a neutral space for marketers and vendors to connect, share information, and decide if they want to work together.
