Partner tier · revenue-share AI ops
Skin in the game. We share your P&L.
Partner is for operators running $1M+ ARR who want to stop managing back office and start growing. We embed our 8-module AI operating system into your business as a unified ops team. You pay a flat floor + percentage of monthly revenue. We grow when you grow. We lose when you lose.
The math, transparently
8–15% of monthly revenue. $9,997/mo floor.
| Annual revenue | Monthly revenue | 10% rev-share | Floor applies? |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1M | $83K | $8,333 | Yes — $9,997 floor |
| $2M | $167K | $16,667 | No |
| $5M | $417K | $41,667 | No |
| $10M | $833K | $83,333 | No |
Rev-share % calibrates 8–15% based on category margin profile, integration complexity, and growth velocity. We model both sides before signing — nobody is surprised by the rate at month 6.
Who this is for
Partner fits a specific operator profile.
You are a fit if
- ✓$1M+ ARR with clean revenue accounting (Stripe / Square / QuickBooks visible)
- ✓Service business (HVAC, med-spa, dental, fitness, salon, real estate, restaurant, professional services, etc.)
- ✓You currently have 2-5 internal ops roles you would replace if you could
- ✓You want operating leverage, not a tool to manage
- ✓You can give us read+write access to your full stack (calendar, email, payments, CRM, social, FSM)
- ✓You can commit to 12 months at the rev-share rate (lower than typical CMO + ops exec salaries)
You are NOT a fit if
- ✕Under $1M ARR — the math does not favor either side. Start with Solo or Operator tier.
- ✕You want to keep your existing ops team and bolt AI on the side
- ✕You expect daily approval workflows for every AI action (defeats the leverage)
- ✕Pre-PMF startup with revenue swings that make rev-share math unstable
- ✕You are exploring 5 alternatives — Partner requires commitment

The honest read
We are at the start of this wave, not the peak.
The technology that makes Partner tier possible — deep MCP-driven integrations into merchant + calendar + email + payment systems — only became practical in mid-2026. Building it in-house at most operations would cost $500K and 12-18 months. We have it shipped and running. The trade we are making with Partner clients is straightforward: we eat the integration cost up-front because we are confident enough in the operating leverage we deliver to bet our margin on it.
Founder note: I’m underwriting every Partner deal personally for the first 12 months. That means I read every onboarding, watch every weekly P&L review, and feel every margin point we miss. If we sign you, we are in it together — for real, not for a logo on a deck. — Aiden
