Founding Partner Program

Know the room
before you walk in.

The work speaks for itself.

Your business development doesn't.

Most firms don't lack the awareness. They lack the bandwidth. The people who would build a real BizDev system are also the people running the firm.

We send out the decks and then hope they get back to us.

Chief Growth Officer

Experiential agency

We don’t have a process. We fly by the seat of our pants.

Principal

15-person architecture firm

We don’t know what we’re doing good or wrong.

Director of BizDev

Experiential agency

Sound familiar?

Different industries. Same broken process.

Architecture & Design

Architecture & Design

Referrals plateau, unqualified leads fill your calendar, and you sink weeks into pursuits that were never real.

Events & Experiential

Events & Experiential

You build experiences that make people feel something, then pitch them with slide decks that flatten everything into static images.

Construction

Construction

You bid the same projects as everyone else with the same deck. The owner can't tell the difference between your firm and the next one on the shortlist.

Two ways firms respond.

Same talent. Same market. Completely different outcomes.

Vendor Class

Qualification process is vibes-based
Calendar filled with prospects who can't close
Send the deck. Hope someone reads it.
Same generic deck for every client
Follow up blind because there's no data
BizDev squeezed in around project delivery
Accept thin margins because the proposal can't justify the fee

Partner Class

Qualification filters before your calendar
Know which prospects are real before you invest hours
Proposals show who's engaged and what they care about
Every stakeholder sees what they need
Follow up with evidence: who opened, what held, who forwarded
One source, every format: interactive, PDF, mobile
Your champion carries evidence into the boardroom

The difference is a system. The Pursuit Intelligence Framework is that system.

The Platform

The Pursuit Intelligence Framework

Six capabilities. One loop. Every pursuit feeds the next one.

PURSUIT INTELLIGENCEFRAMEWORK
Portfolio
Forms
Presentations
Walkthroughs
StakeholderNetworks
ClientProfiler

Qualify with Forms. Profile with AI. Present with 3D, video, and interactive proposals. Track who opened, what held, who forwarded. Map the decision committee. A 20-person firm builds the pursuit capability most 200-person firms don't have.

Every feature came from
a real firm with a real problem.

As a founding partner, your challenges shape what comes next.

Scope creep, contradictory feedback, stalled decisions. We profiled the client: their values, decision patterns, what they actually cared about versus what they said. The relationship turned around. Most difficult clients are misunderstood.

Live Production

House of Zyn, Miami

Six weeks of 360-degree immersive content delivered in two and a half weeks for a Zyn brand activation in Miami. The previs phase that used to take 10 hours per cycle took one.

Live Production

125 Combinations. Zero Renders.

Three independent content streams. 125 possible combinations across three surface types. Zero render time spent on combination review. Every variant cycled live in a 3D scene of the venue.

Building Product Manufacturer

The Liquid Wall

Investors couldn't feel what made Peter's curtain wall system different from a spec sheet. We built an interactive presentation where stakeholders could rotate it, see thermal performance in real time, and walk through installations. If you can't make someone experience the difference, they'll decide on price.

Polycam

Reality Capture Startup

Polycam

AEC users were stuck: scans in one tool, models in another, presentations in a third. We helped design a SketchUp Extension that bridged the gap, launching at the 2025 AIA Conference. The problem is the space between tools.

What the Sprint would need to recover
1.0 won pursuit

At your average deal size, the Sprint pays for itself if it generates a single additional win.

The Partnership

Founding Partner Program

We ensure your success with a Forward Deployed Technologist (FDT) who embeds with your team, builds platform capability around your actual workflow, and ships features on your production timeline.

MIT's 2025 GenAI Divide study found 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail. Specialized Partnerships with workflow integration succeed at 67%. The Founding Partner program is built on that structure.

Start Here

Pursuit Diagnostic

$5,000· 2 weeks

A defensible read on what's broken.

We analyze your last 10 pursuits and deliver a six-dimension scorecard, a written diagnostic, and a 90-day playbook. Low-commitment entry point for prospects who want validation before going deeper.

Fee applies as credit toward the Sprint if you continue within 60 days. Net new commitment if you upgrade: $17,500.

Install The System

Pursuit Intelligence Sprint

$22,500· 90 days

Both cofounders embedded. Platform included.

We embed with your BizDev function for 90 days. Migrate your portfolio, build three live-deal proposals, profile your top prospects, and document the operating model. You end with a self-sustaining system, not a service dependency.

Fixed fee for the 90-day engagement. Continues on a monthly platform retainer after day 90 — or walk away with the playbook.

After 90 Days

The pricing drops. The platform stays.

Once your team operates the system independently, you continue on the platform without the cofounder embed. Three exits at day 90:

Continue

Preferred Enterprise

Monthly platform retainer. Team deployment of the full intelligence layer across the firm.

Scale Down

Max

Solo software-only seat. Full intelligence layer for one principal with ongoing support.

Walk Away

Keep the playbook

Take the documented operating model with you. No auto-renewal. No contract.

$30,000 out-of-pocket per pitch. Eight to twelve pitches a year. Industry win rate of 10-20%. That's $240,000 to $360,000 burning annually on pursuits that never closed. The Sprint is $22,500 fixed, complete in 90 days, with the system documented for your team to run. A single won pursuit pays for the engagement five times over.

3 firms per quarter. Self-serve at launch.

How the conversation starts.

A 30-minute discovery. We listen to how you win work and where the process costs you. If there's a fit, the Pursuit Diagnostic is the entry point to the Sprint.

01

You talk

Walk us through your last lost pursuit. We'll find the pattern you can't see from inside it.

02

We mirror

Your words, structured. We name what's broken across qualification, profiling, presentation, and follow-up.

03

We scope

Every gap maps to a specific capability. Nothing stays abstract.

04

You decide

If there's a fit, the Diagnostic is the next step. If not, we'll say so. No free audits.

The firms that win present themselves differently.

Three firms at a time. If you're reading this, a spot is open.

Show. Don't send.
