Strategic Partnership

Founding
Partners.

You're not just using CFS. You're building products on it. You need the standard to succeed, and you want to shape what it becomes. Founding Partners get early access, integration support, and a seat at the table.

Partnership includes

01

Early Integration Support

Direct access to the core team for integration questions. Private Slack channel. Priority response on technical issues. We want your integration to succeed.

02

Co-Marketing

Featured in CFS ecosystem directory. Joint case studies and content. Mentioned in talks and materials. Your success story is our success story.

03

Standard Direction Input

Review proposed spec changes before they're finalized. Your production needs inform what gets built. Advisory board participation on strategic decisions.

04

Early Feature Access

Private beta access to new features, tools, and SDK versions. Test in your environment before public release. Shape the roadmap based on what you need.

05

Ecosystem Network

Introductions to other Founding Partners for potential integrations. Visibility to enterprises looking for CFS-compatible solutions. The network effect compounds.

What we're looking for

Building on CFS

You're implementing CFS primitives in your product. Not just interested - actively building. The partnership is for companies shipping, not evaluating.

Aligned Interests

You benefit from an open, portable context standard. Your business model doesn't depend on proprietary lock-in. We're building this together.

Willing to Contribute

Feedback on the spec. Case studies. Speaking at events. Partnerships are bidirectional - you get value, you contribute value.

Long-Term View

The standard is being built. This is a multi-year arc. Founding Partners are in it for the ecosystem, not just the immediate benefit.

Partnership models

Partnerships are structured based on fit and contribution. We discuss specifics in the inquiry process.

Integration Partners

Companies building products that implement CFS. Primary benefit: integration support, ecosystem visibility.

Platform Partners

Companies whose platforms will host CFS implementations. Primary benefit: early spec input, enterprise introductions.

Strategic Partners

Deeper collaboration on specific initiatives. May include equity arrangements or revenue sharing on joint projects.
