What a Founding Partner Engagement Actually Looks Like

Before Accelerate ERP reaches general availability in January 2027, we are working with a small group of Acumatica partners as founding partners. The word gets used loosely in software, so we want to be specific about what it means here: what founding partners get, and what we ask of them in return.

Being a founding partner is not a logo on a slide. It is a working relationship.

What founding partners get

Preferential terms, agreed with each practice. We work out founding partner terms with each practice individually.

A direct line into the roadmap. The partners running real Acumatica projects on Accelerate ERP are the ones whose feedback shapes what we build next, including which industries and module areas come after the General Business, Distribution and Construction editions.

Named founding partner status you can use in your own marketing, and early access to new module areas and platform capabilities as they become available.

Direct access to the team building the product. When something does not work the way your consultants expect, you talk to the people who can change it.

What we ask in return

A live project. The value to both sides comes from Accelerate ERP meeting a real client engagement, not a sandbox. We work with you to choose a project where the fit is right.

Time from your consultants. The people doing the delivery are the ones whose feedback changes the product, so we ask for regular, structured input from the team using it.

Candid feedback, including the parts that do not work. A founding partner who only tells us what went well is not helping either of us.

Who it is for

Founding partners are Acumatica partners who deliver implementations and feel the constraint of consultant capacity. If your practice has more work available than it can staff, or you sell fixed-fee engagements and watch setup hours erode the margin, the fit is likely good.

We are keeping the first group small so every partner gets real input. If that sounds like your practice, send us a message and we will set up a conversation.
