About Rustproof

Company intelligence.
Association focus.

We help corporate trade association membership teams understand prospective members, assess fit, and prepare the next conversation.

Why we exist

Less research. More membership growth.

Membership teams need a clearer picture of which companies to pursue, why they fit, and how to start a useful conversation.

Rustproof brings company research and available association information together in a Company Brief. Your team reviews the evidence and decides whom to approach.

We’re designed to work with the systems you already use. We agree the scope and any data access before work begins.

The team

Three operators. Deep relevant experience.

We're a small team on purpose. Every client engagement is led directly by a founder with a senior engineer alongside — no account-manager layer, no slide-deck handoff.
