Founder & partner programme · Canada

What a founding partner actually gets.

This is the offer on the table for the first cohort. Commercial specifics are settled at Stage 3 and written into a term sheet — not implied by a landing page.

01

Sovereign compute, free for 30 days

DGX Dev Pod sandbox accounts, priority scheduling, segregated Canadian pods. No compute charge during the proof sprint.

02

A production runtime, not a blank page

Twelve agents, the Assure SDK, reference connectors and 150+ MCP integrations. Skip months of orchestration, audit and RBAC plumbing.

03

Delivery depth behind you

Access to the wider engineering organisation, QA, cloud and security review, and a joint squad from day 60.

04

Proof attached to every pitch

Co-branded evidence packs mapped to Law 25, PIPEDA, ISO/IEC 42001 and AIUC-1, plus a mark once your product passes the gates.

05

Enterprise doors already open

Warm paths into CIOs, reference customers, a 1,000+ member business alliance and public-sector routes.

06

Joint go-to-market

Co-branded sandbox, CIO roundtables, co-selling playbooks and joint public-sector bids with mutual approval on every announcement.

07

First call on the new solutions

Design input on identity, A2A trust, commerce, voice, clinical and physical AI before they are generally available.

08

You keep what you bring

Pre-existing IP stays yours. Separate repositories, contributor licences, mutual NDA and a clean-exit handover.

Five commercial models. One signed before anything is built.

Structure is chosen at Stage 3, once there is evidence on the table. Not before.

Referral

You introduce, we deliver, you earn. No new entity, fastest to start.

Reseller

You own the customer relationship and the first line of support.

Joint development

A shared build with explicit IP boundaries, run through a Canadian entity so joint R&D can be scoped for Canadian programmes.

Cross-equity

Aligned upside with governance and a joint roadmap.

Joint venture

A deeper combination for founders building the category rather than a feature.

Pre-existing IP stays with its owner. Joint components are defined in the term sheet, not assumed. A clean-exit handover is part of the agreement, not a favour.

The claims policy we ask every partner to sign.

A trust company that overclaims is a contradiction. This is the line we hold ourselves to in public, and it applies to your co-branded material too.

We may say
  • Assure maps operational controls and logs to Law 25, PIPEDA, ISO/IEC 42001 and AIUC-1.
  • The record is cryptographically hash-chained and tamper-evident.
  • Assure helps you prepare for underwriting and insurance conversations.
  • We operate our own dedicated NVIDIA DGX Spark cluster in British Columbia.
  • We are actively working toward formal SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits.
We may not say
  • Assure makes your company legally compliant, or certified.
  • The record cannot be altered, or is legally admissible.
  • Assure guarantees insurance coverage or lowers premiums.
  • Our lab is an enterprise hyperscale data centre.
  • SOC 2 compliant before the audit report is issued.

Assumptions and verification

What is a founder position, what is verified, and where the evidence lives.

  • Module statuses reflect the founder's position and are confirmed live in every demo.
  • Customer outcomes are anonymised and verified individually in the data room under NDA.
  • Hardware and clustering claims are benchmarked on our own fleet.
  • Funding programme terms are confirmed per programme; nothing here is a guarantee of funding.
  • Solutions marked as building are roadmap, not generally available.
