DigitalGate Founding 10 → 100 → 1,000
Three founding cohorts. Three levels of commercial advantage.
DigitalGate is opening its platform progressively through three founding cohorts — starting with the Founding 10, followed by the Founding 100 and ultimately the Founding 1,000.
Two benefits, kept separate: (1) a founding acquisition discount on your initial Platform + Apps for 24 months, and (2) ongoing founding referral status — commission on customers you bring in (first 12 months of each referred subscription). The earlier you join, the greater both advantages.
Founding advantage by cohort
Each cohort has its own commercial terms and referral tier. Only Founding 10 is open for applications today. Own-account discount and referral commission are separate benefits.
| Founding 10 | Founding 100 | Founding 1,000 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Places | 10 | 100 | 1,000 |
| Initial Platform + Apps | 30% off | 25% off | 20% off |
| Own discount period | 24 months | 24 months | 24 months |
| Referral tier | Founding Reseller | Founding Partner | Founding Customer |
| Referral commission | 30% × 12 months | 25% × 12 months | 20% × 12 months |
| Priority onboarding | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Early App access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Founding recognition | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Roadmap feedback | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Two separate benefits: (1) Acquisition discount — initial Platform + Apps for 24 months; later adds at published price. (2) Referral commission — cohort rate on each directly referred customer’s qualifying fees for their first 12 months. Referral status remains ongoing while eligible. Full rules: Founding Customer Terms & Conditions.
Founding pricing — initial configuration, 24 months
Earlier cohorts receive the greatest commercial advantage. Discounts are time-bounded and scoped — not lifetime locked pricing.
Founding Pricing
Founding customers receive preferential pricing on their initial Platform and App subscription for 24 months. The founding discount applies to qualifying Platform and Apps purchased at initial onboarding. Additional Platform or App purchases after initial setup are charged at the applicable published pricing at the time of purchase.
Founding Price Period
Your founding discount applies for 24 months from your initial subscription commencement date. After the founding period, your subscription moves to the applicable published pricing. Your founding referral tier remains subject to the Founding Customer Terms & Conditions.
What the discount covers
DigitalGate recurring Platform + App subscription fees only. It does not apply to Professional Services, Customer Success / Support plans, custom development, consulting, migration, implementation or other one-off services.
Founding Referral Status
Founding customers receive a dedicated referral tier and can earn referral commission on qualifying subscriptions from direct referrals for the first 12 months of each referred customer’s subscription — separate from your own founding discount. Tiers: Founding Reseller 30% · Founding Partner 25% · Founding Customer 20%.
Founding benefits do not include unlimited support, unlimited custom development, lifetime free Apps or services, guaranteed roadmap delivery, or an ongoing discount on every future App you add. Programme rules: Founding Customer Terms & Conditions.
Founding 10 · Founding 100 · Founding 1,000
Progressive founding advantage. Founding 10 is the most valuable — and the only cohort open now.
Founding 10
The first 10 businesses to join DigitalGate receive our highest founding commercial advantage.
- 30% off initial Platform + Apps for 24 months
- Founding Reseller — 30% commission × 12 months per referral
- Priority onboarding
- Early access to selected Apps
- Direct relationship with Ben Roe
- Founding operator recognition (with permission)
- Direct influence on roadmap priorities
- Preferential Professional Services terms where applicable
Founding Reseller — 30% is referral commission on qualifying paid Platform + App subscriptions from customers you directly refer, for each referred customer’s first 12 months — not a discount on your own subscription. Status continues while you remain eligible. Credit by default; cash available to Reseller/Partner tiers where enabled. Distinct from any future third-party Reseller Programme. See Founding Terms.
Founding 100
The next 100 businesses join at the second founding level — meaningful advantage while the founding community expands.

- Founding Partner — 25% commission × 12 months per referral
- Priority onboarding
- Early access to selected Apps

DigitalGate moves to normal customer acquisition at published pricing.
- Current published Platform + Apps pricing
- Standard onboarding
- Standard product and support channels
- Customer referrer — 10% commission × 12 months where applicable
Side-by-side commercial comparison
Founding is an early commercial path with preferred terms — not unpaid product testing.
