Partnership Models
Three ways to build
Three ways to build
with us. Pick what fits.
Every build can be structured under one of three partnership models. Different cash, different ownership, different alignment. The work is the same; what changes is what you walk away with.
The Three Models
What each one gets you.
Delivery Partnership
Default mode
Full ownership. Full fee.
You walk away with: Everything we built. Code, models, IP, any resulting product. Full ownership.
You pay: Full standard fee.
When it fits: When you want full ownership and you're funded for it. Default for most builds. No ongoing relationship required after the build ships beyond optional Maintenance.
Common for: Lean AI Strategy, AI Service Build, AI Tool Build.
IP Partnership
~60–70% of fee
Reduced fee. We retain reuse rights.
You walk away with: Full operational use of the build. Your data, your business logic, your customer interfaces stay yours.
You pay: Reduced — typically 60–70% of the standard fee. We retain the right to reuse the architecture, components, models or templates in future builds for other clients.
When it fits: When the build contains a generalisable component we can apply elsewhere. You get a reduced cash fee in exchange for letting us reuse the architecture in future work.
Common for: AI Service Build, AI Tool Build.
Equity Partnership
~40–60% of fee + 20–40% equity
Co-built. Co-owned. Aligned.
You walk away with: Co-ownership of the resulting product entity (NewCo). You take the majority — 60–80%. We take 20–40%. Both sides share product upside.
You pay: Reduced — typically 40–60% of the standard fee in cash, plus the equity stake.
When it fits: When a product entity is being created and both sides will benefit from its commercial success. We stay invested in the product's long-term performance because our return depends on it.
Common for: AI SaaS Product Build (primary mode).
