# Design Partner Program

> An early-customer commercial program for the first cohort of Recurr migrations. Roadmap input, founder-led delivery, preferred pricing, priority access.

The Design Partner Program is Recurr's frame for early customers — apps signing up for the first migration cohort, before customer count scales out. The program is intentionally limited and sunsets as Recurr exits its early phase.

## What it is

Design Partners are migration customers signing up while Recurr is still building the platform's operational depth. The relationship is closer than a standard SaaS engagement: customer feedback shapes the roadmap, founder delivery is direct, and commercial terms reflect the trade-off — earlier customers carry more uncertainty, and the program acknowledges that with concrete perks.

The standard commercial offer (pilot deposit + Migration Program scope + 3.5% platform fee + 2.5% migration performance fee) applies in full. The Design Partner Program adds perks on top.

## The perks

  <Card title="Roadmap input" icon="map">
    A direct line into what gets built next. Design Partner conversations during onboarding and through the migration shape feature priority for the broader platform.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Founder-led delivery" icon="user-tie">
    The founder runs the engagement directly through pilot and migration — not handed off to a customer-success layer. Hands-on through scoping, wave execution, and the Compound phase setup.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Preferred pricing" icon="badge-percent">
    Commercial terms that reflect early-customer status. Set during the Migration Review and confirmed in the MSA.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Priority access" icon="lock">
    Access to motion modules as they ship — Winbacks, Cancel deflections, Annual nudges — without waitlist hold for priority slots.
  </Card>

## Who it's for

Design Partner status is offered to apps that match the Recurr ICP — subscription mobile apps on iOS or Google Play, \$1M+ ARR, with reachable subscribers — and who are ready to engage now, not later. The program is bounded by capacity: the founder can run a finite number of Migration Programs concurrently.

## How to apply

The Design Partner Program is offered through the standard sales path:

  </Step>

  <Step title="Design Partner offer">
    If your app is a strong fit and there's program capacity, the Migration Review closes with a Design Partner offer alongside the pilot reservation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## When the program sunsets

The Design Partner Program is a phase, not a tier. As Recurr scales past the early cohort, the program winds down — perks tied to scarcity (founder-led delivery, roadmap input) only work at small N.

Customers in the program at signing keep their original terms through the engagement; the program doesn't sunset mid-Migration Program.
