Most sponsorship is decoration. Your name on a banner, your logo on a slide, a polite thank-you that doesn’t lead anywhere. You’re looking for something more central than that.
This is not just a sponsorship opportunity. It’s a deep engagement in trust and contribution with our community.
Contributors put forward heroes to be members of our community, to build trust and long-lasting relationships. Heroes get directory listing, event presence, and introductions matched to role and area of interest, alongside Fellows, Founders, Specialists, Angels, and Investors.
The practical value depends on what you’re after. Contributors typically look for some combination of brand association with the community, first-look at Supported Companies for customers, procurement or strategic investment, and talent introductions from the founder community.
Contributor membership is by application. We look for four kinds of contribution:
Different Contributors emphasise different mixes. Past Contributors have supported legal and IP work, made special offers to the community for their services, donated equipment, and provided funds that support growth and brand presence.
You can talk to current Contributors about how their engagement has worked; we’ll connect you.
Tell us about your organisation and how you would like to contribute.
