I think this is way too far. For me personally, the threshold to put the logo is someone within the company is paying, even though the whole company is not in a contract. For example, you might not have a full fledged contract with Google, but one manager of a tiny team might have used her/his company credit card to pay for your tool. If the sum is below a certain threshold, they don't need to authorize or go through vendor vetting and all that.

> Most commonly for newly launched things it means someone with an @company email has tried the tool (even if they didn’t pay)

The current growth hacking play is to have people look through their personal network to find friends who work at those companies, then to have those friends say they’ll try the software

So it’s unlikely not even organic signups. It’s being pushed to friends and friends-of-friends who are unknowingly being used for their company affiliation.

kudos for being transparent on your approach here
