Company · Partners

Partners bring access. We bring the engineering that makes it real.

Agencies, funds, platforms and communities work with us when an opportunity needs software built, validated and taken to market. The best partnerships start with one specific opportunity and a shared path to proof.

Who this is for

Four kinds of partner.

Partner work fits a few distinct profiles.

Agencies and service firms

You own client relationships and need engineering, AI, cloud or data depth to deliver more. We provide senior engineers and squads that work inside your delivery.

Companies and platforms

You have customers, ecosystem reach, data or infrastructure that could support new products, internal tools or market-entry bets.

Funds and syndicates

You want portfolio companies or prospective deals to validate demand, sharpen product direction, build MVPs or create first traction.

Operators and communities

You have access to founders, builders, technical talent or domain experts and want a structured way to turn insight into products.

Good partner work compounds different advantages.

Two sides, one opportunity.

Commercial principles

Structures should match risk, effort and control.

The default assumption is paid work. Other structures can be discussed only when the opportunity is specific, the partner contribution is material and the path to value is clear.

Cash-first unless there is a strong reason to structure otherwise
Equity, revenue share or success-based upside needs legal and commercial review
No guarantee of fundraising, revenue or investment outcomes
Each side's contributions and decision rights are written down before work starts
A good fit, and not

When partnership is probably not the right path.

There is no specific opportunity, market, portfolio need or client demand
The partner mainly wants unpaid work in exchange for vague future upside
Decision rights, ownership or commercial incentives are unclear
The request depends on us acting like a fund, a broker or a guaranteed sales channel

FAQ

Questions about partnerships.

How does engineering capacity work for agencies?
Through Product Engineering Support, senior engineers billed monthly or by the hour with no minimum, or a Dedicated Product Squad, a multi-role team on three months minimum and then month to month with 30 days’ notice. We work inside your process and say plainly who does what.
How do you work with funds, syndicates and accelerators?
Through the Portfolio Proof Program: a portfolio support menu, diagnostics that route each company to the right offer, and delivery of validation, build or growth engagements. It is a repeatable support model rather than ad hoc introductions.
What is a co-build or joint go-to-market partnership?
A model where the partner brings market access, client demand, distribution, data or ecosystem reach, and we bring validation, product and AI build capacity and go-to-market execution. Each side’s contributions and decision rights are defined before work starts.
Do you take equity instead of cash?
The default is paid work, cash-first. Equity, revenue share or success-based upside can be discussed only when the opportunity is specific, the partner contribution is material and the path to value is clear, and it requires legal and commercial review.
Do you guarantee fundraising or portfolio outcomes?
No. We do not guarantee fundraising, revenue, investment outcomes or portfolio performance. The work improves decision quality and produces credible signal, which is a different promise from guaranteed results.
