Design Partner Program

Partner with Manera. Shape the mesh. Save 50% on Year 1.

We're recruiting five design partners to co-build Manera's first flagships in production. In exchange for honest feedback and a public testimonial inside 90 days, you get half off Year 1, your logo on the homepage, and direct access to the founder.

What design partners get

50% off Year 1

Locked at $499/mo on Mesh Tier ($999/mo list) for the first twelve months. Year-2 reverts to public pricing — no surprise jumps.

Logo on the homepage

Permanent placement in our "Customers" row at maneratech.com. Anonymized if you prefer (region + sector only).

Co-marketing case study

One co-authored case study on docs.maneratech.com. You review and approve every word before publication. We'll never publish without your sign-off.

Founder advisory access

Direct line to Kao for monthly 30-min check-ins. Slack-style async access between calls. Not a CSM — the actual founder.

Roadmap influence

Quarterly review of the public roadmap with first refusal on feature requests. Your priorities shape what ships in Q3+Q4 2026.

Stripe migration help

If you're migrating off Bloomberg / CrowdStrike / Thomson Reuters / Greenhouse / FactSet, we'll spend a day helping you cut over cleanly.

Technology partners powering Manera

The mesh runs on a deliberately small set of best-in-class infrastructure providers. Each has an enterprise agreement, an audited security posture, and a clean data-processing addendum.

Anthropic — LLM provider

Every flagship's AI core runs on Claude (Sonnet + Opus). Enterprise agreement with explicit no-training-on-customer-data terms. Per-flagship governed_create + prompt-cache for cost discipline.

Cloudflare — edge + storage

Global CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, R2 object storage with region pinning available (Canada / EU). Workers + Tunnels secure the mesh-to-mesh connections without exposing origins.

Stripe — billing + payments

PCI-DSS Level 1. Customer cards never touch Manera infrastructure. Multi-currency settlement (USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, AUD). Stripe Connect for partner revenue share when applicable.

Wise — multi-currency banking

FX backbone for the Treasury flagship. Real-time mid-market rates, 22-currency support, transparent fee schedule. Integrated for both customer payouts and FXWatch reference data.
