Design Partner Program

We’re looking for partners that care about responsible agentic deployment.

What We’re Building

Handlebar is in a structured design partnership phase. That means:

• The core platform exists (deterministic rules, hard actions, immutable logs)
• We’re refining it with real-world use cases from companies
• Partner feedback directly shapes the product roadmap

What We Commit To

If you join as a design partner:

• Dedicated engineering support: You get direct access to our team. We’ll help you integrate, troubleshoot, and iterate.
• Co-design privilege: Your use cases become our reference architecture. We build what you need.
• Early access: You get new features before anyone else.
• No long-term lock-in: If it doesn’t work out, you walk away. No commitment.

What We Are Looking For

• Real-world deployment: We need to see Handlebar in production (or near-production) to stress-test it.
• Feedback loop: Regular check-ins to share what’s working and what’s not.
• Use case transparency: Help us understand your workflows, constraints, and edge cases.
• Collaboration on compliance: If you’re in a regulated space, we’d value your compliance team’s input.

How We Use Your Feedback

Design partners get:

• Roadmap input: You tell us what features matter most. We prioritise them.
• Custom rule templates: We build policy packs for your industry (like the Healthtech pack above).
• Direct feature requests: Need a specific action type or rule capability? We’ll build it.

This isn’t “submit a ticket and wait 6 months.” This is “we’re building this together.”

What You Get Early

• Pricing advantage: Design partners get discounted pricing when go to general availability.
• Reference customer status: (Optional) If things go well, you become a public case study.
• First-mover advantage: You deploy agents with real-time controls before your competitors figure out how.

Timeline

We’re aiming for:

• Month 1: Integration + initial rule set
• Month 2: Production pilot with limited scope
• Month 3: Full deployment + compliance review

We’re flexible. Your timeline drives ours.
