VBOs and veteran accelerators,fast-tracking founders into the loop.

Members of any partner organization land on /start with a reference already attached. The intake form treats their referral the same way it treats a VetCert verification: the founders do not have to re-prove what the partner already vouched for, and the triage that runs after intake short-circuits the parts the partner already covered. That priority routing is the headliner benefit, and it is the reason a partner listing is worth carrying.

Each partner is listed here, on /partners, alongside the founders they have referred. The listing is public so the legitimacy of the badge travels with it: when a referred founder shows up at /start, the partner name appears beside their referral so the agent loop knows to fast-track them. The badge is not a marketing logo on the partner's site; it is a routing instruction that the loop already honors.

For referred founders, the badge is also a credibility signal. Anyone being introduced to the loop through a partner can point at the listing on /partners and show that the relationship is real — the same partner name appears here on the platform side and on the partner side. There is no separate, hidden back-channel; the listing is the receipt.
