What is the minimum partnership duration?
Partnerships are structured as annual engagements because developer trust compounds through repeated technical proof, not one campaign burst. We still plan the work in quarterly cycles so each quarter has clear deliverables and reporting.
What are the payment terms for partnerships?
Nip and Dram are typically paid annually upfront. Blend and Malt can be paid annually, semi-annually, or quarterly depending on procurement needs. We confirm the commercial structure during the fit call.
Do you replace our internal DevRel team?
No. We assist and extend internal DevRel, marketing, product, and engineering teams. Partners use Rawkode Academy for external practitioner credibility, content production capacity, technical feedback, and distribution into a relevant developer audience.
How do you measure partnership success?
We align on success measures before work starts. Reporting can include views, watch time, retention, referral traffic with UTM links, developer questions, docs friction, product feedback, content reuse, and partner-defined adoption indicators.
Can our team reuse the content?
Yes. Partnership planning includes the assets your sales, marketing, DevRel, and product teams can reuse, such as clips, tutorials, demo paths, workshop material, launch recaps, and technical feedback summaries.
How do you qualify potential partners?
We look for developer tools and cloud native companies with useful technology, technical access for review, and a willingness to teach through real usage. We are not a fit for scripted praise, paid mentions with no technical review, or guaranteed pipeline claims from a single asset.
