Partner program
Built for the practice you already run
You already own the client relationship, the delivery, and the risk. A distributor should remove back office friction from that, not insert itself into it. Three tiers, no program fee, and pricing you can see before you commit.
Tiers
Three tiers, no program fee
Tiers move on volume and certification, not on an annual cheque. Everyone starts with the full catalog.

On tier pricing. Tier discount levels and volume thresholds are being finalised with vendor agreements. Founding partners are given their tier and full pricing at approval, and founding terms are held for the first program year.
Economics
How margin actually works
No revenue share, no clawback on your retail, no minimum spend to keep your pricing.
01
Buy at partner pricing
You buy from Elev8 Cloud at partner pricing, which improves as your tier does. That price is visible in the catalog before you commit to anything.
02
Set your own retail
Elev8 Cloud does not dictate what you charge your client. Markup rules live in your account and quotes come out under your brand.
03
Bill on one statement
One monthly invoice covers every vendor. Seat counts reconcile against what was actually provisioned, so what you owe matches what you billed.
04
Keep the relationship
Elev8 Cloud never sells to your client and never contacts them directly. The distributor sits behind you, not beside you.
Onboarding
From application to first invoice
Five steps in sequence. Each one has to work before the next one starts.
01
Apply
A short application covering your practice, your current stack, and rough seat volume. It is reviewed by a person.
02
Agreement and pricing
Partner agreement, tier assignment, and full partner pricing across the catalog.
03
Portal setup
Accounts for your team with SSO and MFA, roles configured, and your client list loaded.
04
First client cutover
One client moved end to end so ordering, provisioning, and billing are proven before anything else moves.
05
Migrate at your pace
Remaining subscriptions transition on their own renewal dates. Nothing gets force marched into a cutover weekend.
Questions
The ones partners ask first
Is Elev8 Cloud live yet?
Not for general availability. The platform is in active build and founding partner applications are open now. Approved founding partners get access as subsystems land and their feedback sets build order. If you need a distributor today, we will tell you that plainly rather than sell you a waiting list.
Do I have to move my whole book at once?
No. Partners typically move one client first to prove the flow, then transition the rest on natural renewal dates. Forced cutovers create outages and neither of us wants that call.
Will Elev8 Cloud sell to my clients directly?
No. Elev8 Cloud is a distributor. It sells to the channel and never to your end clients. There is no direct sales motion sitting behind you waiting for your account to get big enough.
What does it cost to be a partner?
There is no program fee. Elev8 Cloud earns on the spread between vendor cost and partner price, which is the standard distribution model. If a fee ever gets introduced it would be announced well ahead of time, not slipped into a renewal.
Which vendors will be in the catalog?
Vendor agreements are being negotiated now and named products are published to approved partners inside the portal. The catalog page describes scope and billing model so you can see whether it fits your stack before applying.
What if I already resell some of these products directly?
That is common and it is fine. Most partners consolidate the subscriptions that are painful to manage first and leave direct vendor relationships in place where they are already working well.
How is support handled?
Elev8 Cloud handles the vendor escalation rather than handing you a vendor support number. Response targets are written into the partner agreement, and they get better by tier.
Who is behind Elev8 Cloud?
It is built by operators from a cybersecurity MSP and vCISO practice, which is why the catalog is chosen the way a practitioner would choose it rather than the way a procurement team would. More on the about page.
Founding partner applications are open
Early partners set which vendors get signed first and hold founding terms through the first program year.
