Every student and brand on Proxoso goes through a verification process. Here's how it works — and what it means for you.
Students sign up with a valid .edu email address, confirming they are currently enrolled at an accredited college or university. All students must be 18 or older.
Verified .edu email required at signup
Must be 18+ to create an account
Social handles verified before platform-specific opportunities are unlocked
Reliability score tracked across completed opportunities
What it means for brands: Every student who accepts your opportunity is a real, enrolled college student — not a bot or a fake account.
Brands are reviewed by the Proxoso team before they can post funded opportunities. We confirm the business is legitimate and that the opportunity is appropriate for students.
Business domain email required (no personal Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
Brand profile reviewed by Proxoso before going live
Opportunities must comply with community guidelines
Verified badge shown on brand profile and opportunity cards
What it means for students: Every brand you work with has been reviewed. You won't find spam, scams, or fake opportunities in your feed.
Brands fund opportunities upfront before any student can accept. Your payment is held in escrow by Stripe and only released when your submission is approved — or automatically after 72 hours if the brand doesn't respond.
Brands pay before students do any work
Funds held in escrow — never released without approval
Auto-approval after 72 hours if brand is unresponsive
Unfilled slots are refunded to the brand automatically
If a submission is rejected multiple times and you believe it was unfair, you can escalate to Proxoso for review. Our team will assess both sides and reach a decision within 48 hours. We take bad-faith rejections seriously.
