Trusted partners
The firms this class names.
Leaders name the firms and vendors they trust from inside their portal. Listing is free and comes from the leader, never from a form.
The first names appear here as leaders accept.
Partners of the series
Firms that stand beside the class.
Partners pay to stand beside the class: their name on the series, their ad beside the stories they bring in, and their brand beside the cards of the leaders they bring. The recognition is earned either way. They never choose who is recognized and never touch a word. See the 2027 partner levels→
Bring someone with you.
