How we pick partners
Membership is invitation-only and relationship-based. There is no public application form and no paid certification badge.
Who gets invited
Partners are people and studios the operators of DevFoundry already trust — teams we would personally introduce to a client. That usually means shipped work we have seen, a reputation for finishing, and a willingness to stand behind their own products.
What we do not do
- We do not sell consortium seats or ranking boosts.
- We do not run a formal audit or ISO-style vetting process.
- We do not publish star ratings or anonymous reviews.
- We do not take a cut of any work that follows an introduction.
The one quality gate we keep
Partners can draft listings freely, but nothing appears in the public catalogue until an admin publishes it. That is a light review — not a certification — so the platform name only sits next to work someone here has actually looked at.
Availability is honest
Partners can mark themselves open, busy, or not taking work. That signal helps us introduce clients thoughtfully; it is not a ranking score.
