Checklist
What goes in a design partner agreement
A one-page agreement for early B2B customers
A checklist of the seven points a design partner agreement should cover: time commitment, feedback channels, pricing, roadmap influence, confidentiality, an exit clause and optional equity warrants. It is meant for founders drafting a one-page agreement with early B2B customers. The aim is to set expectations on both sides, not to win an arbitration.
Where this appears
What's in this checklist
- Time commitment: specific calls, plus a deadline for async feedback
- Feedback channels: a shared Slack channel, roadmap doc and interview cadence
- Pricing: free in the design phase, a locked discount once paid
- Roadmap influence: partners vote on priorities, you keep the final call
- Confidentiality: mutual NDA, public references after GA with right to review
- Exit clause: either side can end the design phase with 30 days notice
- Optional equity warrants, useful for marquee logos
