We’re selecting 10 organisations to shape the future of M365 governance.
Full platform access at $100/month locked for 12 months. Thirty days free before billing begins. Direct founder access, roadmap influence, and a free tenant audit delivered before you connect.
What Founding Partners get
Everything a Business+ customer gets, plus the benefits of arriving early.
Full Business+ access
All M365 governance + Azure governance + priority support, from day one.
$100/month locked for 12 months
A 60% saving vs the standard $249/mo Business+ price. Price can never rise during the term.
30 days free before billing
A full month to validate ROI before a single dollar is charged.
Direct founder access
Monthly 30-min call with Chris plus a shared Teams or Slack channel.
Roadmap influence
Vote on the next quarter’s feature priorities. Your pain becomes the backlog.
White-glove onboarding
Chris personally configures your environment with you on a call.
Free governance audit
A branded PDF report on your tenant’s governance posture — delivered before you even connect.
What you commit to
A fair exchange. Your time and honest feedback in return for a transformational price and direct influence.
Monthly 30-min feedback call
Structured agenda — what works, what doesn’t, what’s missing.
Logo rights
Your company logo appears on govern.cloud under “Trusted by…”.
One case study
Within 6 months, a co-authored 500-word case study we both edit and approve.
One G2 or Capterra review
An honest public review, whenever you’re comfortable.
Quarterly reference call
A 15-minute call each quarter with a prospect considering the platform.
Who we’re looking for
These aren’t eligibility rules — they’re the profile that gets the most value. Apply even if you’re close but not a perfect match; we’ll talk.
50 – 500 Microsoft 365 users
Big enough to feel governance pain, small enough to need an affordable tool.
Active Teams and SharePoint usage
Not organisations that only use Exchange — the product needs real workspaces to govern.
Considering or deploying Copilot
The highest-urgency use case — oversharing, readiness, sensitivity labels.
IT team of 1 – 5 people
Small teams feel the pain most — and benefit most from automation.
Willing to commit
A monthly call, honest feedback, and a reference call each quarter — nothing more.

Questions we usually hear
What if I’m not selected?
We’ll tell you honestly and quickly. If it’s a fit-today issue we’ll keep you on a waitlist; otherwise we’ll point you at the standard pricing once general availability opens.
Can I leave after the 12-month term?
Absolutely. The $100/mo rate is locked — not the term. You can cancel any time, and if you stay past 12 months you move to whatever the then-current standard price is.
Is my tenant data safe during the governance audit?
Yes. The audit runs on a read-only Graph API connection with least-privilege permissions. We’ll walk you through exactly what is collected before you consent. Nothing is shared outside your team and ours.
Do you take equity or any other commercial stake?
No. This is a paid software relationship. We want you as a customer who shaped the product, not an investor.
Still have a question? We’d rather answer it before you apply.
