Founding Design Partner Program
A Founding Design Partner (FDP) is one of 5 Texas hemp retailers in a closed design cohort. Partners work directly with the founder, and HempDash is built around their real compliance workflows — COAs, age verification, and audit packs, shaped by the people who use them.

The program is capped at 5 Texas hemp retailers. Small on purpose — every partner gets real founder time, not a mailing list.
A working relationship
Partners meet with the founder on a regular cadence, walk through their actual workflows, and see their feedback land in the product.
A design role, not a beta test
Founding Design Partners set priorities. Their use cases are built first, and the compliance workflows they rely on define what ships.

Founding Design Partner ↔ Charter Vendor
Every Founding Design Partner is also a Charter Vendor — the statuses stack. The Charter Vendor program is the broader founding cohort, capped at 25, with 50% off list in Year 1 and 25% off list on every renewal.

Every program conversation starts the same way: a 30-minute demo of your actual compliance workflow.
Talk fit with the founder
If the design-partner program fits your store, we cover what the partnership looks like on the call.
Start with compliance
Partners onboard like any retailer — records organized, first audit pack exported — then the design work begins.
The demo walks your real compliance workflow — COAs, age verification, audit pack export. If the Founding Design Partner program is a fit, that's where we'll talk about it.
