Version 2026.4·Effective September 25, 2026 Founding Partner Program

Help your clients use thinqOS. Build a business with us.

You find and serve the customer. We run the platform. You earn from the subscription and keep the money for services you deliver.

Founding terms. The 40% share and the 24-month step are for servicing partners who join while the founding program is open, and they stay with every account you register during it. After the program, new partners join on standard terms: 30% while you actively serve the account, 15% for 12 months when servicing reverts to thinqOS, no 24-month step. Where this program and a signed agreement conflict, the signed agreement governs. Today partners advise and refer, so today a partner earns the referral share: 20% for 12 months. We deliver launches for early customers directly while we show the offer is repeatable; partners deliver launches once we choose a partner delivery route, and a new version of this page will say so.

What you earn

A clear share for the work you keep doing.

Your share is calculated on the platform subscription payments we collect after discounts and refunds, excluding the included managed AI credit. We call this the share base.

Servicing partners earn more in the first two years, then keep earning while they actively serve the customer. A referral earns a smaller share for one year.

30%

After that

30% of the share base while you actively serve the account and provide the agreed first-line support.

20%

Referral only

20% of the share base for 12 months when you introduce an approved account but do not serve it. This is how partners earn today, while partner delivery is not open.

100%

Your services

Keep all revenue from the implementation, training, support, and advisory work you actually deliver.

Example payouts

A simple example.

These amounts assume the customer pays the full monthly price. Your share is always based on the platform subscription payments we collect after discounts and refunds, excluding the included managed AI credit. The credit is treated like managed AI usage, which is also excluded. Small Business and above qualify. Enterprise shares are set per deal, 20% of the share base by default.

Routes to market

Two ways to work with us.

Everything above describes Direct. A second route, Embedded, now exists for a different shape of deployment: your product, with thinqOS running inside it. Other arrangements are available by negotiation; these two cover most partners.

Route: Direct

You sell thinqOS. We invoice the customer.

Who sells
You, direct to the customer.
Who invoices
thinqOS invoices the customer.
Customer account
Holds a thinqOS account and signs with thinqOS.

The customer holds a thinqOS account and signs with thinqOS. You source, register, implement, and provide first-line support, and you earn the revenue share described above. This is everything on this page so far.

Route: Embedded

You sell your platform. thinqOS runs inside it.

Who sells
You, as part of your own product.
Who invoices
You invoice the customer; thinqOS invoices you.
Customer account
Never holds a thinqOS account, never signs in to thinqOS.

The customer never holds a thinqOS account and never signs in to thinqOS. You invoice the customer for your own product; thinqOS invoices you. There is no subscription to share, so plan pricing does not apply. Pricing is per active governed Mind per month instead.

Embedded route detail

$30List rate / active Mind / month
$150Account minimum / month

The unit: an active governed Mind, meaning one provisioned to an end customer that processes at least one request in the month. A provisioned but unused Mind is not charged. List rate: from $30 per active Mind per month, reducing with volume. Rates for a given deployment are agreed privately; this page publishes a list rate, not a rate card. The rate per Mind falls as volume rises. Account minimum: $150 per registered account per month.

Managed AI
Billed separately, at provider cost plus 30%, or bring your own key at no markup. It is never bundled into the Mind fee.
White-labelling
Permitted. Your customers can see your brand and never need to know thinqOS is there.
Metering
Counted from thinqOS telemetry, reported with every invoice, broken down by account, and disputable for 30 days.
Notice before removal
90 days’ written notice before removing thinqOS from your platform for a registered account.
15%

Named in your product

Name thinqOS in your product interface or published documentation and earn a 15% reduction against your Mind fee.

5%

Named in contract only

Name thinqOS only in your customer contract, not in the product itself, and earn a 5% reduction. No attribution earns no reduction.

Embedded and OEM terms are agreed per deployment. Nothing on this page grants a partner a rate, band, or entitlement as of right; a signed embedded agreement is the only source of the actual terms for a given deployment.

Founding terms and eligibility
Founding terms. The 40% share and the 24-month step are for servicing partners who join while the founding program is open, and they stay with every account you register during it. After the program, new partners join on standard terms: 30% while you actively serve the account, 15% for 12 months when servicing reverts to thinqOS, no 24-month step. Where this program and a signed agreement conflict, the signed agreement governs. Today partners advise and refer, so today a partner earns the referral share: 20% for 12 months. We deliver launches for early customers directly while we show the offer is repeatable; partners deliver launches once we choose a partner delivery route, and a new version of this page will say so.

What is included

We keep each type of payment separate.

Subscriptions, AI use, and professional services are paid differently. Here is what each one means.

Subscriptions

Revenue share is calculated on the platform portion of the subscription, less the plan's included managed AI credit. For Office of the CEO the platform portion is $450 of the $1,200 monthly price; the remainder is management time, which is not shared. The 40% and 30% servicing shares and the 20% referral share apply to platform subscription payments we collect after discounts and refunds, excluding the included managed AI credit, for Small Business and Office of the CEO. Enterprise shares are set per deal, 20% by default. Personal plans do not qualify. A registration follows a Personal customer that upgrades to a qualifying plan within 12 months.

The split is fixed when the account registers. The plan price, the platform portion and the management component are set as at the date an account is registered, and those amounts apply to that account for its life. We stay free to change our prices and how we split them; a change only ever applies to accounts registered after it takes effect. We will not reclassify platform revenue as management time, and we will not raise the management component of a plan except to reflect management services we have actually added to it.

Managed AI use

Your share is calculated on the platform subscription only. It does not include the plan's included managed AI credit, managed AI charges, taxes, or other pass-through costs. The included credit is treated like managed AI usage. Partners can sell their own AI operations, optimization, and support services.

Discounts

Named, published discounts (education, referral, founding) are shared: both sides take their percentage of the lower payment. A partner-initiated discount beyond 20% off list, or any discount outside the named programs, comes out of the partner’s share alone. The thinqOS floor per plan never moves, so a deep discount is your investment decision, not a joint one.

Setup fees and payment

The launch is published at $2,500 and follows whoever delivers it; a partner may charge more under its own agreement. Whoever does the setup work keeps that fee. If we work together, we agree on the split in writing. Monthly payouts follow payments we collect. Annual payouts follow the yearly payment, less 12 months of the included AI credit and any refund or chargeback.

One partner of record

thinqOS pays one partner of record per account. Referrers, sub-contractors, internal sellers and agent suppliers are paid from your share under your own agreements. Your split, your structure. Our payout, one place.

Getting started: register, sell and deliver
How it works

Four simple steps.

Servicing partners do real work for the customer. A partner who only makes the introduction earns the referral share.

01

Register

Tell us about the opportunity before the sale. Approved deals are protected for 120 days, or 180 days for Enterprise.

02

Sell

Lead the conversation and define the work. Partner payouts start with Small Business, Office of the CEO, and Enterprise. On Small Business, the customer's own team manages the agents. Office of the CEO is the plan where someone runs it for the customer. Once a partner delivery route is chosen, that someone can be you.

03

Deliver, once partner delivery opens

Today we deliver launches directly while we show the offer is repeatable. Once we choose a partner delivery route, run the standard launch: the intake, a thinqOS agent conversation with each person, up to five roles configured, and one review call. We provide the template and the conversations. Then first-line support under your own services agreement.

04

Keep helping

Keep earning while you actively serve the account and help the customer succeed.

Responsibilities, services and billing
Who does what

A clean line between your work and ours.

The partner

The client’s trusted partner

  • Source and register the opportunity
  • Discover and scope the business outcome
  • Install, configure, and train under your services agreement, once partner delivery opens
  • Provide first-line support and own account success
  • Bill your services and keep that revenue

thinqOS

The platform underneath

  • The product, built and improved continuously
  • Reliability & security of the platform
  • Provider connections and managed-AI operations
  • Deep product support behind the partner’s first-line service
  • Platform billing and partner payout during private preview
Billing during preview

The customer gets two clear invoices.

thinqOS bills the platform subscription and any managed AI. The partner bills its professional services.

Deal protection and changing partners
Deal protection

A deal is protected. The customer can change partners.

We protect an approved opportunity while you work on it. After the sale, you keep the account for as long as you provide the agreed setup and first-line support. Once partner delivery opens, Founding Premier Partners get first call on qualified services leads for 12 months. Premier status needs a named person dedicated to thinqOS who has run the standard launch twice with us present, plus at least 5 active accounts, reviewed annually. There is no blanket exclusivity.

Talk through the model

Protection in plain English

  • Standard registration 120 days
  • Enterprise registration 180 days
  • First call on services leads 12 months
  • Global exclusivity none
  • Customer may change partner always
  • On a change, the outgoing partner keeps 15% for 12 months, then it ends; the incoming partner earns the 30% servicing rate from takeover
A simple promise

The customer keeps their data.

The customer owns their Minds, data, and right to export. They can change service partners without losing access or continuity. The relationship works because the customer chooses it.

Questions and answers

The basics before you sign.

What happens after the first 24 months?

The share moves from 40% to 30%. It continues while you actively serve the account: a named account contact, first-line support with next-business-day response, and an annual account review. If servicing reverts to thinqOS, the share steps to 15% for 12 months and then ends. If you resume serving the account during those 12 months, it returns to 30%.

What if I only make the introduction?

You earn the referral share: 20% of the share base for 12 months on an approved Small Business or Office of the CEO account you introduce but do not serve. This is how partners earn today, because partner delivery is not open yet.

How is Enterprise handled?

The share is set per deal. By default it is 20% of the share base. Enterprise from $2,500 with a $500 AI credit has a share base of $2,000, so the default share is $400 a month.

What are the terms after the founding program?

30% of the share base while you actively serve the account, and 15% for 12 months when servicing reverts to thinqOS. No 24-month step. The referral share and Enterprise terms are the same as above. Founding partners keep the founding terms for the accounts they registered during the program.

Does the share include AI usage?

No. The share base excludes provider usage, managed AI charges and the plan's included managed AI credit. For Small Business at $250 with a $75 AI credit, the share base is $175. You can still sell your own AI operations and advisory services.

What if the customer needs a discount?

Your payout is a percentage of what the customer actually pays for the subscription. For named, published discounts, both percentages are applied to the lower payment. A partner-initiated discount beyond 20% off list, or any discount outside the named programs, comes out of the partner’s share alone.

Who owns the customer relationship?

You own your services relationship and the approved opportunity. thinqOS owns the platform obligations. The customer owns its Minds and data and can change service partners.

Is the program exclusive?

No. Protection is attached to accepted opportunities and active accounts. Founding Premier status may include preferred lead routing for a renewable term, but it does not grant blanket ownership of a market.

Build the founding partner program with us.

Tell us about the businesses you serve and the work you deliver. We’ll turn this into a simple written agreement that explains payment, responsibilities, and customer protections.

Document history

Changelog.

This program is versioned because a signed agreement incorporates it by reference. The version in force on the date an account is registered governs that account for its life; superseded versions stay reachable below.
