Thanks for raising this issue.

HackerOne will NEVER threaten you or do anything to reduce your security. You can safely ignore our sales emails if that's what you want to do. We are just trying to be helpful.

But we do have the absolutely best set of programs for companies of all stripes. To start with, you can open a vulnerability disclosure program that costs you nothing. It will allow hackers to submit vulnerability reports to you. We run numerous programs of this type for startups and other companies.

Our mission is to empower the world to build a safer internet. That's it.

Thank you so much Marten for your direct response!

I'm sorry if my post came out as at all harsh. I respect what you guys are doing. I just had those honest reactions to the communication I got.

Maybe putting some general pointers on getting started in emails like this for really small companies would come across as a bit less threatening? That way, you can be the guide early on, then we can become partners later when we have the scale.

Good luck with your build!
