When I see usage figures touted in the form "Trusted by X companies" I assume X is the total number of signups they've had.
Yes I assume that's the same. What I mean is '0' obviously looks bad, '2007' as it was when I commented sounds good (to me anyway).
If you knew you wanted to have that copy on day zero, you probably wouldn't launch with it, because it doesn't look good, so I just wonder at what point people think it starts to be positive, or at least not negative.

Although, they do actually list 51 customers with links to their websites. It's a pretty compelling "social proof" take, IMO.
Haven't seen this before, an actual figure rather than 'these big names' (and you have no idea if it's just some small team somewhere for some toy test/demo, or a significant piece of the whole organisation's puzzle).
I'm (just idly) curious what number you waited for (assuming you did) before making that public. Because, and obviously it'll vary a bit for different people, there's going to be some number below which it has negative impact, not just (probably some other, with a 'meh' range between, number) above which it has the positive impact that is it's raison d'être.
