We're building something exceptional.
The TEP Partner Marketplace is a curated home for the tools, software, and services we recommend to our 1,000+ active clients across 65+ countries. Round one is filling now. Round two opens later this year.
A curated marketplace, built around how our clients actually buy.
Every week, our clients ask us which CRM to pick, which lender to call, and which platforms are worth their time. We’ve always answered those questions one founder at a time. Now we’re building a place to answer them at scale.
The TEP Partner Marketplace is a curated directory of tools, software, and services we recommend to our clients across their full lifecycle. Every partner is hand-selected, every recommendation comes with the trust premium of a TEP endorsement, and every conversion is tracked end to end.
For partners, that means access to a high-intent, capitalized audience at the exact moment they’re sourcing infrastructure. For our clients, it means the right tool, vetted by the team they already trust.
What you get as a partner.
Four distribution channels, one curated marketplace, and a real seat at the table as we grow.
A category page that belongs to you.
Your category page lives on theexceptionalplan.com, and every TEP client is pointed there as part of their engagement with us. Above-the-fold placement available at the Featured and Preferred tiers.
In every client’s inbox before kickoff.
When a new client signs with us, our partner pack goes out before their first call. Your listing lands in front of them at the exact moment they’re ready to spend on tools and infrastructure.
Top of mind when they’re spending again.
When clients wrap their engagement, we send a closing pack with the tools they’ll need next. You stay relevant well past the initial transaction.
A real handoff, not an automated email.
When a client’s need maps directly to what you sell, we introduce you personally. A founder-to-founder warm handoff, not a click on a banner.
From application to live in 2 to 3 weeks.
Four steps. Transparent tracking. Quarterly reviews with real numbers.
You apply.
A short application so we can get to know your business and figure out if it’s the right fit.
You get listed.
Your listing goes on the relevant category page, into welcome and offboarding packets, and onto our digital platform when it launches.
Clients reach out.
Through your tracked link and discount code, so it’s always clear which leads came from us.
We compare notes.
A quarterly review on what’s working with real numbers behind it, and we adjust from there.
We’re hand-selecting our launch partners.
Round one is closed. Round two opens later this year, and waitlist partners get first access.
