Founding Partners.
A founder price for our first AI Partners.

We bring on a few AI Partners at a time. Those who join now lock the founder price for 6 months, or 12 if they pay the year upfront. It isn't a discount for nothing: in return we ask for four specific things that help us build a better service.

The terms, no fine print.

The same for every Founding Partner, and written into the contract.

Spots

3 seats for now

We bring on a few AI Partners at a time to measure how much real work each account takes. Once they're filled, onboarding closes.

Price

Locked for 6 months

The founder price stays the same for the first 6 months of the contract, which is also AI Partner's minimum term.

Annual payment

Locked for 12 months

Pay the year upfront and the founder price lasts 12 months, and we can agree on an initial 30-day trial.

Ownership

Non-transferable, one-off

Tied to your company and that contract. It can't be assigned and won't be repeated: there will be other discounts, none this size.

Afterwards

Current list price

Once the founder period ends, the service continues at the list price of the day. We give you 30 days' notice.

What the discount pays for

We don't give price away. The founder discount exists because early clients give us something valuable: real information to refine the service, and the trust of starting before anyone else.

None of it exposes you: we never publish your name, logo or data without written approval.

In return we ask for

  • Honest feedback every cycle: what works and what doesn't, as it is.
  • A quick decision: accept or decline the proposal within its 15-day validity.
  • Anonymised results: we can use the process numbers (hours, times, errors) with nothing that identifies you.
  • A 6-month minimum term: one full cycle to measure real results.

What you get

  • Everything in AI Partner, at the founder price
  • Senior hands-on execution, no juniors or middlemen
  • AI agents with a specific job, run and measured every month
  • Early access to Trascend Labs products

How we work together

  1. First conversationA 30 to 45 minute call to understand the operation and see if it fits.
  2. DiscoveryWe map the processes and pick the first priority.
  3. Scope in writingWhat gets built, what's out, the term and the founder price.
  4. Build and measureWe build, test and compare against the starting point.
  5. Feedback and next priorityYou tell us what worked and what didn't, and the loop starts again.

Why so few seats

Because we're a boutique studio, and that's a condition, not a slogan: senior hands-on execution, no juniors or middlemen. Whoever designs your solution builds it and answers when something breaks. To keep it that way, we cap how many clients we serve at a time.

Clients at a time, maximum

When it's full we open a waiting list instead of lowering the quality.

Who it's for

  • Companies with a real operation and enough volume for the improvement to show
  • An available decision-maker who can answer and approve without a chain of command
  • Willing to say what they think, even when it isn't what we want to hear
  • Processes that depend on repeated manual work today

Who it isn't for

  • Anyone looking for the cheapest vendor for a one-off task
  • Companies with nobody available for discovery meetings
  • Anyone who wants the discount but can't commit to 6 months or give feedback

Questions about the program

How big is the discount?

It depends on the monthly hours agreed for your operation. You get it in writing with the scope before signing. What's fixed: it's the largest discount Trascend will ever offer.

How long is the founder price locked?

6 months, which is also the AI Partner minimum term. If you pay the year upfront it lasts 12 months and we can agree on an initial 30-day trial. After that the current list price applies, with 30 days notice.

What are "anonymised results"?

The numbers from the process we improve —hours handed back, response time, errors avoided— with no name, logo or data that identifies you. Showing your company as a case is separate, optional and always needs your written approval.

Does it stack with the annual-contract discount?

No. The founder discount replaces the long-term discount: you get whichever suits you better, not both.

Can I pass it to another company?

No. It's non-transferable: it's tied to the company that signs and to that contract.

Will it open again?

Not on these terms. There will be other discounts, but none this size.
