Founding partner program

Norrsent's design partnership for the first ten enterprises to deploy NorrsentOne. Twelve months of full platform access at no fee, with quarterly engagement on roadmap and design defaults. Status is permanent regardless of whether the partner continues commercially.

What it is

The Norrsent founding partner program is a design-partnership program for the first ten enterprises to deploy NorrsentOne. The terms are public and short: twelve months of full platform access at no fee, every module included, no credit card, no auto-conversion. After twelve months, continuing is the partner's choice. Founding partner status — recognition as one of the ten enterprises that shaped the platform's defaults — is permanent and held regardless of commercial outcome. Applications close 30 June 2026 at 23:59 CEST.

Why it matters

The program is a design partnership, not a free trial. The ten partners get unusual influence over Norrsent's roadmap, naming conventions, integration patterns, and design defaults — quarterly engagement, direct line to the team, and the platform shaped around their actual operating problems. In exchange, Norrsent gets honest deployment data, real usage patterns, and the ability to ship a product that works in production. The asymmetry is deliberate: ten enterprises, twelve months, then commercial. Larger cohorts dilute the partnership; shorter terms produce too little signal.

How Norrsent handles it

The program is run from /founding-partners. Application is via the configurator at /configure — five minutes to submit a configuration, one business day to a scoping call invitation. Applications received after 30 June 2026 are not considered for the inaugural cohort.

Common questions

Is this a free trial?
No. A trial is a commercial mechanism aimed at converting a buyer. The founding partner program is a partnership aimed at shaping the platform. The ten partners influence the roadmap; trial users do not.
What happens after twelve months?
The partner decides. If they continue commercially, terms are negotiated separately in months nine to ten. If they don't, the production access winds down on agreed timing and data exports cleanly. Founding partner status persists either way.
Why ten?
Ten is the largest cohort that can hold a real partnership. Norrsent's team can give each partner quarterly engagement, direct access, and influence. That scales to ten, not to fifty.
