Design partner program

From 8 to 12 founding companies. Yours can be one of them.

This is not a sale, it is co-construction. A small group of companies that get a voice in the roadmap in exchange for data, time and brutal feedback. That is how we solve the cold start of the intelligence engine.

The exchange

Both sides of it, in writing.

What we give

  • Early accessWith direct attention from the founder, not a support queue.
  • Roadmap co-designReal priority in product decisions, not a suggestion box.
  • Founder pricingA lifetime condition, defined together with those who join now.
  • Assisted onboardingWe sit down together to light the engine with your data.

What we ask

  • Real, dense dataDense enough for the predictive engine to run. A test account will not do.
  • Your HRBP’s timeBiweekly feedback sessions with whoever lives the problem.
  • Brutal honestyAbout what works, and above all about what does not.
  • Becoming a case, if it worksOnce there are real results. Not before, and never fabricated.
About pricing

This page has no pricing table. On purpose.

Rhye’s current phase does not chase revenue, it chases proof of value confirmed by the customer. Founder pricing as a lifetime condition is a deliberate decision, and the number comes out of the conversation with the companies joining now.

We could print three plans with round numbers here and nobody would notice. Except the rule we apply to your data inside the platform, never stating what the evidence does not support, also applies to our own page. We do not have a closed price yet. So we do not invent one.

Profile

Who the program was designed for.

A match with us

  • From 50 to 300 employees, sweet spot between 80 and 200.
  • A knowledge company: SaaS, tech, consulting, agencies, financial services, healthtech.
  • Fast growth, with a headcount that changes quickly.
  • Already using some HR tool, meaning you already produce data, even if fragmented.

Not a match, and we say so upfront

  • Under 50 people: not enough data for the engine to light up.
  • No HRBP or Head of People: nobody to bring the reading to the table.
  • Purely manual operations: low density of knowledge-work data.
  • Anyone who just wants one more review form.
The moment usually looks like this

A recent loss of key people that caught everyone by surprise.

A board or founder demanding predictability about people.

HR wanting to leave the operational grind and become a strategic partner.

Fast scaling exposing the lack of a decision system.

How it works

Five steps, no sales funnel.

01

Apply

You fill in the form below. It takes about two minutes.

02

Qualify

A conversation with the founder to look at the data you already have and see whether the engine can light up.

03

Activate

Assisted onboarding, with the platform configured on top of your real structure.

04

Prove

Biweekly sessions until the platform returns an insight you confirm as true and useful.

05

Case

Only once there are real results, and only with your authorization.

Hard questions

What you should be asking.

Do you already have customers? Can I see a case study?

No. Rhye is new, with no installed base and no public case study. Against any incumbent this is exactly the column where we lose, and the design partner program exists precisely to turn that around. If seeing a case study is a prerequisite for you, we are not the right choice right now.

Has the predictive engine run at scale?

The start is real: the model has not yet run against a large, dense production tenant. That is why the program asks for real, dense data rather than a demo account. You are joining to help light the engine, not to find it ready.

Does Rhye replace my payroll and HR admin system?

No, and it does not try. We have no payroll, no personnel administration and no climate benchmark with market history. Those problems already have mature vendors. Our stance toward them is to integrate, not compete.

What is the price, in practice?

Founder pricing as a lifetime condition, defined together with the companies joining at this stage. There is no table because there is no closed price, and publishing a number just to fill the page would be fabricating data.

How soon do we see value?

It depends on the density of your data, and that is what the qualification conversation looks at. If what you have today cannot sustain correlation or prediction, we say so on the spot instead of selling an expectation that will not be met.

What if my company is not chosen?

We tell you why. When it is a matter of size or data density, it is a technical constraint that changes with time, and the conversation can resume when it does.

Application

Tell us about your company.

No sales pitch afterwards. The next conversation is with the founder, and it exists to look at your data and say whether it works or not.
