Brand Partners

Get your brand in front of the people who built America.

D2C ranchers. Their families. The buyers who chose real beef over grocery-chain commodity. The Founding Herd. If your brand belongs in front of this network, three ways in.

Who fits

Coolers, knives, cutting boards, freezer chests, regen-ag input brands, ranching media, family food brands, vacuum sealers, jerky kits, anything a D2C beef rancher or beef-buying family would actually use. If you sell to ranchers OR to people who buy ranch beef, you fit.

No fast food, no commodity beef brands, no Tyson-adjacent. We gate carefully — fit matters more than spend.

Three ways in

Pick the tier that fits your goals. We'll reach out within 24h of payment to confirm fit and kick off the deliverables.

Quick questions

How big is the network right now?

Verified rancher partners across multiple states + a Founding Herd of paid backers + the buyer list. Specific numbers in the email after you sign up — we update them honestly.

What if you don't think we're a fit?

We refund within 7 days, no fight. Fit > revenue. We've walked away from sponsors twice already.

Can we cancel any time?

Yes. Stripe handles cancellation directly. Stop showing up in deliverables the next month.

Will you exclusive a category?

Founding Brand Partners get soft-exclusivity in their category for the quarter they pay. Featured + Spotlight don't — we may run a competing brand in the same space.

Can we pay annually?

Yes — email and we'll send an invoice for 12× monthly with a 1-month discount baked in.
