What you pay
$3,500 once. There is no setup fee on top, no monthly fee, and no invoice after the first one. Payment is made after we've talked and confirmed the business is a fit — not before.
$3,500 one-time. Lifetime "Legacy Partner" status. No monthly subscription required to keep the designation. 12 months of featured placement included — then subscribe to stay featured or move into the permanent Legacy Partner Hall of Fame.
$3,500ONE-TIME — NO MONTHLY FEE, EVER
Why This Is Different
You keep the Legacy Partner title forever, and your business is never removed from the Hall of Fame. Active homepage placement, directory ranking, interviews, and marketing stay reserved for paying members after Year 1.

The Terms, In Plain Language
No fine print games. Here is the whole arrangement.
$3,500 once. There is no setup fee on top, no monthly fee, and no invoice after the first one. Payment is made after we've talked and confirmed the business is a fit — not before.
For 12 months from the day your feature publishes, your listing sits pinned at the top of its category, your article is promoted in the weekly roundup, and you receive one new content piece per quarter. That's the active period — everything is produced and promoted during it.
The "Legacy Partner" title, the badge you put on your own site, your physical certificate, and a permanent public listing in the Legacy Partner Hall of Fame. None of this is tied to a subscription, and none of it is ever removed.
About 60 days before the 12 months end, we contact you. You pick one of two paths — stay featured on a subscription, or move to the Hall of Fame. If we don't hear back, you default to the Hall of Fame. Nothing is auto-billed.
Top-of-category placement, ongoing interviews, and roundup promotion cost us money every month to keep producing. A one-time payment can't fund those forever. The title can be permanent because it is a record of something you earned — the promotion is the part that has an ongoing cost.
The 2026 Founding Class is capped at 20 businesses and will not be offered again at this price or under these terms. Spots are reviewed one at a time, not sold first-come-first-served.
At Month 12 You Choose One
Move onto Featured ($49/mo) or Growth ($149/mo) with the setup fee waived, because you already paid it once. Your placement, ranking, and content cadence continue uninterrupted. Cancel at the end of any term.
Pay nothing further. Your article stays online, your Hall of Fame listing is permanent, and your badge and title stay valid. You lose only the pinned top-of-category slot and the ongoing promotion.

Featured and Growth totals = setup fee + (monthly × term length). Legacy Partner is a single payment with nothing recurring. After 12 months, Legacy Partners choose a subscription to stay featured or move to the permanent Hall of Fame.
What's Included
A recorded interview, not just a written one — cut into a proper feature piece for the directory and your own use.
Pinned placement for a full year — not "priority while your subscription is active." After Year 1, subscribe to keep it featured or move to the Hall of Fame.
The "Legacy Partner" mark — no renewal required, no monthly fee attached, and yours even if you choose the Hall of Fame after Year 1.
Even after the featured period ends, your business keeps a permanent public listing in the Legacy Partner Hall of Fame.
Something real to hang in your business — commemorating the 2026 Founding Class.
A direct, personal intro to other featured business owners in the network — not a group chat, an actual introduction.
Guaranteed inclusion in the year-end roundup during your first 12 months.
The Founding 20 gets access to new premium offerings before they're opened to the broader market.
Legacy Partner FAQ
Yes. $3,500 once. No monthly fee, no renewal, and the 'Legacy Partner' designation stays yours forever. The 12 months of featured placement is included, not a subscription.
You have two options. Join a subscription plan (Featured or Growth) to keep your featured placement, active directory ranking, and ongoing marketing — or move to the permanent Legacy Partner Hall of Fame, where your title and listing remain public forever.
No. The title, badge, and Hall of Fame listing are permanent. Only the active featured placement, interviews, and marketing require a subscription after Year 1.
Featured and Growth are setup fee plus a monthly fee on a 3, 6, or 12-month term — placement stays active while billing is active. Legacy Partner is $3,500 once, includes 12 months of featured placement, and then lets you choose a subscription or the Hall of Fame. The title never expires either way.
For the first 12 months, your listing is pinned to the top of its category. After that, it moves to the permanent Legacy Partner Hall of Fame unless you subscribe to keep it featured.
The Legacy Partner 2026 Founding Class closes. It is never offered again. Businesses can still apply for Featured or Growth, or wait for a future premium program.
It starts as a conversation — we talk through the business first, confirm fit, and then invoice. Spots are filled individually, not first-come-first-served.
20 Spots In This Class. That's It.
Legacy Partner status is a conversation first — we review each business individually and only invite the right fits.
Legacy Partner is a one-time engagement. After 12 months, choose a subscription or the permanent Hall of Fame.
