Partners & Sponsorship
Build something with us, not just on us.
Four ways to work together — research, tooling, events, and community programs. All scoped individually, none of them a logo on a slide.
What we bring
An audience of engineers who build rather than browse, 270+ open-source repositories with real usage, published research on agent security, and a track record of running sessions on campuses and at conferences across India.
What we do not bring is reach for its own sake. If a partnership only works when we say something we do not believe, it will not work — and saying so early saves everyone a quarter.
Ways to partner
Pick the scope.
Research collaboration
Work with us on one of the open problems — routing, agent security, neuro-symbolic reasoning. Joint publication where it earns it.
Good fit for
Labs, AI companies, and teams with a real dataset or deployment.
Developer tooling
Co-build open-source libraries and integrations, or have your tooling taught properly inside a course rather than name-dropped.
Good fit for
Infrastructure, observability, and DevTool companies.
Event sponsorship
Hackathons, conference tracks, and campus workshop series — with jury representation, mentorship, and merchandise for organisers.
Good fit for
Companies hiring engineers, and anyone launching to a technical audience.
Community programs
Fund a campus workshop series or an AI literacy program in schools and colleges that could not otherwise pay for one.
Good fit for
CSR programs and companies with an education mandate.

FAQ
Partnership questions
What does an AI Anytime partnership involve?
One of four scopes: research collaboration, developer tooling, event sponsorship, or funding community programs. Each is agreed individually — there are no fixed tiers, because a hackathon sponsor and a research collaborator need entirely different things.
What does sponsoring a hackathon or conference get us?
Jury representation, mentors on the floor during the build, problem statements written so they cannot be solved with a single prompt, merchandise for organisers, and a technical judge who reads the code. Branding is agreed alongside that.
Do you have sponsorship tiers and a rate card?
No. Scope and cost are quoted per engagement, because event size, location, and involvement vary too much for a price list to mean anything. Send the event, the dates, and the audience and you will get numbers back.
Will you promote our product to the community?
We will teach it honestly if it is genuinely good, including where it falls short. What we will not do is publish a review that reads like an advertisement — that costs more credibility than any sponsorship is worth.
Can we partner on hiring?
Indirectly. Sponsoring a hackathon or workshop series puts you in front of engineers building in the open, which works better than a job post. We do not sell access to member data or run a resume database.
