What is the Founding Partner Program?

The Founding Partner Program is an exclusive opportunity for arts organizations to get 90% off Artsumé Pro for their first year, along with white-glove migration service and a dedicated account representative. In exchange, partners commit to running at least 2 opportunities on Artsumé and providing monthly feedback to help us build the best platform for arts organizations.

How long does the 90% discount last?

The 90% discount applies to your entire first year. After the first year, you can continue on Pro at the standard rate ($79/month or $49/month billed annually) or switch to our generous free tier.

What's included in the white-glove migration?

Our team will personally help you transfer your existing systems to Artsumé. This includes setting up your organization profile, configuring your first opportunities, importing any existing data, and scheduling a training call to ensure your team is comfortable with the platform.

What feedback commitment is required?

We ask for a monthly 30-minute call with your account representative to discuss your experience, share what's working, and help us understand how we can better serve organizations like yours. Your feedback directly shapes our product roadmap.

Can I cancel if it's not working for us?

Absolutely. There's no long-term commitment. If Artsumé isn't the right fit, you can cancel anytime. We want partners who genuinely benefit from the platform.

How many spots are available?

We're limiting the Founding Partner Program to ensure we can provide exceptional support to each organization. Spots are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

What early users are saying

“Artsumé streamlined our entire review process. What used to take us days now takes hours.”
