Design partner programme

Build the product with us.

We are looking for a small number of companies to run 6-week pilots of our products — and to tell us, bluntly, where they fall short.

5 partners per product. 6 weeks. Free, including the integration work we do for you.

Choose a product

Four products, four very different pilots. Pick the one you would actually use.

What you get

Free for the pilot, founder pricing after

Full access at no cost for the 6 weeks. If you continue, you keep founder pricing — locked in, not a trial discount that lapses.

We build your integration

The connector, migration or onboarding work your team needs to actually use it in production. Built by us, at no charge, during the pilot.

Direct line to the roadmap

A named engineer on your pilot and a standing call. What you hit in production is what we build next — that is the whole point of a design partner.

Co-marketing, entirely optional

A case study, logo placement or launch mention if it is useful to you. Say no and nothing changes about the pilot.

What we ask

A design partnership is a trade, not a free trial. This is our side of it stated plainly, so you can decide before you apply.

Use it on real work

Not a sandbox evaluation. A pilot only tells us anything if it meets real data, real volume and real edge cases.

Talk to us every week

A standing call through the 6 weeks — what broke, what was confusing, what was missing. This is what you are trading for the free build work.

Name an owner

One person on your side accountable for the pilot. Pilots without an owner quietly stall, and neither of us learns anything.

How it runs

  1. 01

    You apply

    Tell us what you would use it for. Five minutes, no deck required.

  2. 02

    We reply within 3 working days

    Either an intro call or a straight no. We will not leave you waiting.

  3. 03

    Intro call

    30 minutes to check the fit is real in both directions.

  4. 04

    We scope the pilot together

    Success criteria, the integration we build for you, and a start date. Written down before anything begins.

  5. 05

    6 weeks, running

    Real usage, a weekly call, and a named engineer on your side of the table.

  6. 06

    Decide

    Continue on founder pricing, or walk away owing nothing. Both are fine outcomes.

Not sure which fits?

Email hello@flaredog.com with a sentence about what you are trying to solve and we will point you at the right one — or tell you honestly that none of them fit yet.
