/ Design partners

We're building AdviLink with a small group of deal teams.

AdviLink is pre-launch. We're onboarding a handful of design partners who run their own diligence and want live cost and scope control on a real deal — and a hand in shaping the product.

01 The programme

A small partnership, not a customer list.

We're building AdviLink alongside a handful of deal teams running live diligence. Partners get the product early and direct, and what they need on their deals shapes what we build. This is the honest stage of the company: selected partners, working closely, before a wider launch.

02 What partners get

Early access, direct support, and a say in the roadmap.

01

Early access on a live deal

Run AdviLink's budget control on a real, in-flight diligence process — not a sandbox. Track committed vs. actual vs. forecast against scope from day one.

02

Direct founder support and onboarding

You work with the founder, not a queue. Setup, the first deal, and any rough edges are handled directly, while the product is small enough for that to be possible.

03

Real influence over the roadmap

What you need on your deals shapes what gets built next. Design partners see the close-up version of the product they helped define.

04

Preferential per-deal pricing

Partners are priced per active deal, on preferential terms, while the programme runs. The arrangement reflects building this together.

03 Why now

I built AdviLink because I have managed diligence budgets first-hand. The budget was set in week one, then left to drift — advisor updates arrived as emails, PDFs and ad hoc calls, and budget vs. actual was reconstructed by hand under time pressure.

By the time invoices landed, often after close, the leverage to challenge scope was already gone. The deal lead, whose job was the transaction, became the person chasing finance updates from every advisor on every workstream.

Live cost and scope control is the part of the deal that has gone unowned for too long. The honest position today: AdviLink is pre-launch, and the right way to build it is alongside the deal teams who live this problem — not in isolation.
