design partners — Q3 2026 cohort
Reserve namespace.
Shape the schema.
Ship first.
We're onboarding a small cohort of design-partner businesses through Q3 2026. You get reserved namespace, hands-on integration help from The Holding Company engineering, and influence over the consent-receipt schema before it freezes for public launch.
What you get
- Reserved namespace. Your business gets first pick of the handle
/about-us/<name>. Namesquatters won't beat you to it. - White-glove integration. A HoldingCo engineer works with your team to wire verification into your helpdesk, gateway, or auth stack. Time-boxed and free.
- Schema input. The consent-receipt schema, intent vocabulary, and JWKS extensions are frozen after the cohort. You're the ones who shape them.
- Priority support. Dedicated Slack channel with the HoldingCo team. SLA on schema changes and outage response.
- Reference case study. Optional co-marketing at public launch — your logo, your metrics, our narrative.
- No fee for the pilot. Pricing is post-launch. Design partners get a locked-in discount tier for the first two years.
What we're looking for
Real inbound identity pain
You feel fraud, agent-generated tickets, or account-recovery load daily — not theoretically. "Nice to have" isn't a fit.
Engineering that can wire an HTTP call
Verification is 15 lines. If your team owns your helpdesk or gateway config, you're ready.
Willingness to iterate publicly
You're OK being cited (with your approval) in the launch narrative. Silent partners possible but rarer.
