Why This Exists

You know the drill. Slick vendor marketing promises the world. Amazing margins! Incredible support! A true partnership!

Then reality hits: portal nightmares, support tickets that disappear into the void, and sales reps who undercut your deals.

There's nowhere to get honest feedback about partner programs before you commit thousands in certifications and months of your time. You rely on word of mouth, Reddit threads, and hope.

We're building PartnerXperience to change that. A place where partners can anonymously share real experiences, and others can make informed decisions.

We're at the beginning

The platform exists. The rating system works. But we need partners to bring it to life. Foundation Members aren't joining something established—they're helping build it from day one.

What You Get

Real benefits, honestly stated

Permanent Founding Member Status

A badge that stays with you forever. Displayed on every review you write. Listed on our public Founding Members page. As the platform grows, this recognition grows with it.

Enhanced Affiliate Commissions

Active Foundation Members earn +10 percentage points above regular affiliate rates when they refer report sales. If regular affiliates earn 5%, you earn 15%. If they earn 30%, you earn 40%.

This rewards those who stay active and help the platform grow.

Real Input on What We Build

Quarterly advisory calls. Direct access to the founding team. Your feedback shapes the roadmap. This isn't a vanity title—we're a small team and we'll actually listen.

Early Access to Everything

See reports and data before they're public. Test new features first. Know what's coming before anyone else. This is useful if you care about the partner ecosystem.

Is This For You?

You might be a good fit if...

•You're active in several vendor partner programs
•You've been frustrated by programs that didn't deliver
•You want to help others avoid making the same mistakes
•You're willing to share honest experiences (good and bad)
•You like being part of building something early

Probably not a fit if...

•You work for a vendor (conflict of interest)
•You're looking for free stuff without contributing
•You're not comfortable writing honest reviews
•You don't have time for even a small ongoing commitment

Questions You Might Have

Can my reviews really be anonymous?

Yes. We verify your identity to prevent fake reviews, but your name is never shown publicly unless you choose to display it. We also flag any identifying details before publishing.

Why would I contribute when there's nothing there yet?

Because you believe the partner ecosystem needs this. If you've ever been burned by a vendor program, or wished you had honest information before committing, you understand why this matters. Foundation Members aren't here for what exists today—they're here to build what should exist.

What if this doesn't work out?

That's a real possibility with any early-stage project. We're not promising success. What we're offering is a chance to be part of building something meaningful, with upside if it works. The time commitment is modest enough that it's a reasonable bet.

How many Foundation Members are you looking for?

Just 12. Small enough that each person's voice genuinely matters, large enough to seed real content and diverse perspectives. We'll close the program once we hit that number.

What's the actual time commitment?

Realistically, 1-2 hours in your first month (writing 2 reviews, welcome call, inviting 5 colleagues). After that, maybe 30 minutes a month—occasional feedback, sharing something on LinkedIn when it's worth sharing.
