Partnerships, not projects.
An agency sells hours and hands you the result. We would rather own part of what we build with you, so how we do depends on how the company does. Here is what that looks like, who it's for, and how a deal comes together.
- Who
- Founders, operators and companies with real industry expertise
- We bring
- Marketing, AI, software and operations
- We're paid by
- Shared revenue, equity, or a joint venture
- Based in
- San Antonio, Texas
What each side puts in
You stay the expert on the customer. We take the work most founders end up hiring three different firms to do.
| Area | You | PearTree |
|---|---|---|
| Market knowledge | Leads | Learns fast |
| Customers and distribution | Leads | Builds the funnel |
| What the product does | Shared | |
| Brand, website and launch | Reviews | Leads |
| Paid search, SEO and AI visibility | Reviews | Leads |
| Software and AI | Tests with customers | Leads |
| CRM, analytics and hosting | Uses | Leads |
| Hard costs | Shared, per the agreement | |
| Big decisions | Shared | |
Three common shapes
None of these is a template. We get specific about the numbers before anyone signs.
Joint venture
We form a new company together and share ownership. Best when the product is new and both sides are building from zero.
Revenue share
You keep your company. We build and run a new product line for it and take a share of the revenue that line brings in. Best for established businesses adding a product.
Equity for go-to-market
You have a product and no team to sell it. We run marketing and engineering in exchange for a stake in the company.
Who owns what, in writing
Partnerships go wrong when nobody wrote down the hard parts. We put them in a short interim agreement before the prototype is done, and in a full agreement before the build.
Four steps, each one a decision point
- Fit callWe talk through the market, the customer and what you've tried so far. Bring what you have. No deck required.You leave withA straight answer on whether we're the right partner. If we're not, we'll say so and point you somewhere better when we can.
- PrototypeA fixed-scope build of the core idea, usually a paid engagement, so both sides have something real to judge.You leave withA working prototype you can put in front of customers, and a clear picture of what the full build takes.
- TermsAn interim agreement that protects both sides, then a full partnership agreement reviewed by each side's attorney.You leave withOwnership, costs, revenue and IP settled before anyone writes production code.
- Build, launch, growOur team runs product, marketing and operations alongside yours, and stays through growth, not just launch day.You getA roadmap, a launch plan, live marketing programs and a monthly report on how the company is doing.
The four things every partnership has
Before you ask
Do you invest cash?
Sometimes. Most of what we put in is our team, our tools and our marketing budget. On some deals we also share hard costs. We'll be specific before anything is signed.
Can I just hire you to build it?
Yes. If you'd rather own it outright, Pear Analytics builds custom AI applications as a client engagement. Partnership is for when you want us invested in the outcome.
I already have a developer or an agency. Does that rule us out?
No. We'll look at what exists and decide together what to keep, what to rebuild and who runs it from here.
How long until launch?
It depends on the product. The prototype step exists so we can give you a real answer instead of a guess.
Are any of your companies for sale?
RestoreMySEO is open to offers. Use the form below and choose "Buy one of our companies."
Tell us what you know.
A few sentences is enough. The more you tell us about the customer, the better the first call goes.
