No application. No waitlist. Run at least one Command-tier domain on annual billing — if you're one of the first 25 paying MSPs to qualify, your account is auto-flagged as a Founding Partner on your first invoice. The 30%-off coupon applies to your whole first-year bill across every domain at every tier.
Founding Partner is automatic — no application, no operator approval, no separate sign-up page. Just buy a Command Annual domain.
is_founders_club=true, assigns the next sequential Founder Number, and swaps the standard 20%-off-annual coupon for the 30%-off Founding Partner coupon — all in one Stripe transaction.Three buckets of value: price, voice, and recognition. The price benefit is bounded to Year 1; the voice and recognition follow you for the lifetime of your active subscription.
Same product. Same per-domain feature set. Different first-year economics — and a permanent badge.

SBCMSP is a security platform built by an MSP, for MSPs. I've been on your side of the table — getting paged at 2am because a client's perimeter dropped, watching compliance season eat 80% of January, fighting a vendor's roadmap that never quite shipped the thing I needed.
The Founding Partner cohort exists because I'd rather have 25 MSPs deeply invested in the platform than 500 customers who barely engage. You get a 30%-off Year-1 entry point and a 10× louder voice for as long as you stay. I get reference customers, brutal feedback, and the privilege of building exactly what the MSP market needs.
There are 25 spots. When they're gone, they're gone — and they won't reopen.

Here's what you're actually signing up for. The full agreement is presented in-product before your account is flagged.
You become a Founding Partner on the SBCMSP platform — one of the first 25 paying MSP accounts globally. In exchange for an upfront annual subscription on the standard SBCMSP pricing structure (per-domain tiers Basic/Pro/Command), you receive a 30% discount off your entire first-year bill — across every domain and every tier — plus the recognition and product-influence perks described below. Founding Partner status is granted upon your first paid invoice; your assigned Founding Partner number is permanent and never reassigned.
For your first 12 months as a Founding Partner, every charge on your subscription — every domain at every tier (Basic, Pro, and Command) — is discounted by 30%. The Founding Partner discount replaces (does not stack with) the standard 20% annual discount. It applies to the upfront annual invoice you pay at signup, to any mid-year domain additions during Year 1, and to any tier upgrades or other in-year additions, and then expires at the end of your first 12 months.
At the end of your first 12 months, your subscription renews at the then-current list prices with the standard 20% annual discount applied — the same annual rate that any non-Founding-Partner customer would receive. There is no continuing Founding-Partner price benefit after Year 1. Your Founding Partner number, 10× vote weight, co-marketing badge, and other non-price perks are retained for as long as you remain an active paying customer.
Founding Partner status requires annual billing, paid upfront. The 30% Year-1 discount applies only to the annual billing cycle; monthly billing is not eligible. You may not switch from annual to monthly during the first 12 months without forfeiting Founding-Partner status. Standard SBCMSP refund and cancellation policies in the Terms of Service apply to Founding Partner subscriptions; there is no separate Founding-Partner refund waiver.
Founding Partner status is contingent on: (a) acceptance of this Agreement and the SBCMSP Terms of Service and Privacy Policy; (b) maintaining an active paid annual subscription for the first 12 months; (c) accepting the AI Remediation Guidance Disclaimer if you use that feature; and (d) being a US-based entity (the Founding Partner cohort is currently US-only).
If your subscription is cancelled or lapses during the first 12 months — voluntary cancellation, non-payment, card decline not cured within Stripe's standard grace period, or termination for cause (ToS violation) — the 30%-off Year-1 discount terminates and is not restored on re-subscription. After Year 1, you retain your Founding Partner number, vote weight, and badge for as long as you remain an active paying customer. If you later cancel, your Founding Partner number is retired with you, remains on record for historical purposes only, and is not reassigned; you cannot regain Founding Partner status by re-subscribing later.
Founding Partner status is permanently capped at the first 25 paying MSP accounts globally. Once 25 Founding Partner numbers have been assigned, the program closes and no further members may be enrolled — regardless of subsequent cancellations. Each Founding Partner number is permanent and reserved exclusively for the member to whom it was originally assigned. SBCMSP reserves the right to close the program before reaching 25 members in its sole discretion, and reserves the right to open additional cohorts at different terms in the future; no current Founding Partner is entitled to the terms of any later cohort.
Founding Partner enrollment is automatic, not application-based:
Your acceptance of this Agreement — including the document version, timestamp, your user identifier, and originating IP address — is recorded for compliance and regulatory purposes.
Founding Partner is a price on the whole SBCMSP platform — here's what your Command-tier domains actually run.
