For sponsors & partners
Reach founders on day zero. Not day five hundred.
Every company inside Builder Society is being formed right now — choosing its stack, its bank, its lawyer, and its tools for the first time. Sponsors don't buy impressions here. They become the default choice at the moment the choice is made.
Request the partner deckThe audience.
Builder Society is not a big audience. It's the right one.
- Senior technologists and operators, most earning $200K+ in their current roles
- Every member is actively forming or joining a new company — not thinking about it someday
- Each venture makes 15–20 vendor decisions in its first six months: incorporation, banking, payments, hosting, legal, accounting, insurance, tooling
You are not renting attention from people who might buy. You are meeting companies at the moment they must.
Three ways to partner.
Perks Partner
Your product in the member perks bundle. Credits, extended trials, or member pricing, delivered inside onboarding when new ventures are choosing their stack.
- Placement in the member perks library
- Inclusion in new-venture onboarding
- Redemption reporting each quarter
Content & Event Sponsor
Put your name on what members actually use. Sponsor the monthly Founder Q&A, a Learn track, or a piece of the Builder Protections framework — the content that brings founders in the door.
- Named sponsorship of a monthly Q&A or lesson track
- Your expert featured in one session per quarter
- Recordings and write-ups published publicly, with attribution that stays
Ecosystem Partner
category-exclusiveOne partner per category. Your product becomes the recommended default inside the Virtual Venture Studio — where ventures build their deck, model, brand, and plan.
- Category exclusivity (one banking partner, one legal partner, one hosting partner)
- Default recommendation inside relevant Studio workflows
- Warm introductions to matched ventures at formation
- Quarterly review with our operating team
What we don't do.
No banner ads. No member data for sale. No batch-and-blast to the directory. Members joined a vetted room, and it stays vetted — that's exactly why a recommendation inside it carries weight. If your product isn't something we'd tell a founder to use anyway, we'll pass.
Founding partner terms.
Cohort 01 is forming now. The first partners in each category get founding terms: locked pricing, category exclusivity where it applies, and their name on the program from the start. Those terms don't repeat.
Common questions.
- Who sponsors Builder Society?
- Companies that sell to newly formed businesses: developer tools and hosting, banking and payments, legal and incorporation, accounting, insurance, and education partners backing the campus program.
- Can we sponsor the student program?
- Yes. Builder Society on Campus runs as a course, lab, or cohort — a fund or corporate innovation arm can underwrite a campus cohort end to end. Ask for the campus pilot outline.
- Do sponsors get member data?
- No. Sponsors get placement, redemption reporting, and introductions members opt into. The directory is never for sale.
- How is pricing set?
- By tier and category, against audience quality rather than volume. The partner deck has current numbers.
