Design-partner ventures

For operators who want software built from their expertise and a stake in the outcome.

A design-partner venture is a product hyper8 builds and runs with an operator who knows the market. It is scored against the Opportunity Framework before anyone commits money, and most candidates do not clear the bar.

The shape is the opposite of a client engagement, so it lives on its own page: hyper8 owns the intellectual property and the product data; the partner contributes expertise, access and first customers, and takes a revenue share and first access to what is built.

The specifics, including the revenue share, each side's contributions, data rights, and what happens if either side exits, are set in a written agreement before the build starts. Nothing on this page is a term.
