The exchange, stated plainly
What a partner gives
A real benefit to CHiiRO members. Extended credits, a longer free tier, a meaningful discount, distribution, content, or something we haven't thought of. It has to work for a company at day thirty — not a company with a procurement department.
What a partner gets
Attribution to a narrow, high-intent audience at the moment it's choosing. Placement in the perks section — where members go looking. Honest performance reporting. Early position in a network that is writing its rules now.
What neither side gets
No exclusivity — multiple partners can serve the same category. No minimum term — either side walks away when it stops working. No payment in either direction — you don't pay us, we don't pay you. The exchange is the offer and the attribution, and that's it.
The four shapes a partnership can take
Member benefit
Your product, extended or discounted for CHiiRO members. Credits, free tier, pricing — something a founder would actually use in the first year.
Distribution partnership
You reach our members, we reach yours. Cross-promotion that's labelled as what it is, to audiences that overlap on purpose.
Content partnership
You know something our members need to learn. A guide, a framework, a teardown — something that earns attention because it's useful, not because it's sponsored.
Something else
If you have an idea that doesn't fit the first three and respects the refusal list, write it down.
What happens when you write
A person reads it. Not a form processor, not a sales team, not an auto-responder — a person. If it's not a fit, we say so, plainly, with a reason. If it is, we'll have a conversation about what the offer looks like and how it appears.
No deck. No procurement process. No six-week sales cycle. The conversation is short because the terms are already published on this page, and the only question left is whether your specific offer meets them.
What to put in the message
Who you are — not a company bio, just enough that we know what you make. What you'd offer specifically — not "we'd love to explore", but the actual benefit and its terms. What you'd want back — attribution, distribution, something else. And any constraints — time limits, geography, capacity.
The more specific the first message, the faster the answer.
hello@chiiro.co — live, read by a person.
The honest position
CHiiRO has no partners. Zero. This is an invitation, not a roster. The audience is small, the network is early, and we're not going to present either as something they aren't.
The rules are published — what we refuse, what we accept, how offers are labelled — and changing them would be visible to every member. That's the constraint we're offering you: your offer appears in a place where the rules are public and the discipline is real, which means the trust is real too.
If you want to be first, here's the door. If you want to wait until the audience is larger, that's fine — the terms will be the same.
What you get
Your offer in a place where labelling earns trust instead of losing it.
Early position — the first partners shape what the section becomes.
Honest reporting — what happened, not what looks good in a deck.
Published rules that don't bend to fill the page faster.
Questions and answers
Q.How do I become a CHiiRO partner?
Write to hello@chiiro.co with who you are, what you'd offer CHiiRO members specifically, what you'd want back, and any constraints. A person reads it and responds — there is no deck, no procurement process, and no auto-responder.
Q.What does CHiiRO refuse from partners?
Impressions, sponsored posts, promoted profiles, access to member contact details, partner messaging outside connections, and presenting a partner offer as anything other than a partner offer. These are permanently refused, not deferred.
Q.What types of partnerships does CHiiRO offer?
Four shapes: member benefit (credits, free tier, discount), distribution partnership (cross-promotion), content partnership (guides, frameworks, teardowns), and a fourth open category for proposals that don't fit the first three but respect the refusal list.
Q.Does a CHiiRO partnership cost anything?
No. There is no payment in either direction, no minimum term, and no exclusivity. The exchange is the offer and the attribution. Either side walks away when it stops working.
Q.Does CHiiRO have any partners today?
No. CHiiRO has zero partners. This is an invitation, not a roster. The audience is small, the network is early, and the rules are published. CHiiRO states this plainly rather than implying traction it does not have.
