Askantis Partnership Program

Phase 1 now: first project 20%, then ladder from 15% to 5% floor. Rates will change in later phases.

You don't work for us.
You build with us.

Most consulting firms take the majority and pay you a fraction. We flipped it. You bring the client relationship, you keep the majority of what you build. Askantis provides the legal entity, the engineers, the finance, and the brand behind you.

The traditional model is built backwards

In a normal consulting firm, the person who wins the client and does the work sees the least of the reward. The firm keeps the margin; you get a salary and a title. We think the people who make AI implementation actually happen, the ones clients trust, deserve a fair, transparent share of what they build. So we didn't tweak the commission. We inverted it.

How it works

You bring

Client relationships

You identify, warm, and develop clients under the Askantis brand: outreach, networking, trust.

Discovery and project face

You run the first conversations to understand needs, tech landscape, and AI readiness. You stay the primary contact throughout, present milestones, and manage the relationship (client-facing title: Senior Account Manager at Askantis).

Milestone sign-off

You secure client acceptance at each milestone, which triggers invoicing.

Askantis provides

Legal umbrella

The legal entity and all client-facing contracts. Askantis signs; you're covered.

Engineering and hosting

A vetted engineering pool, billed hourly, sourced and managed by us, plus cloud and hosting where a project needs it. You never recruit or contract engineers.

Finance and scoping

All invoicing, payment collection, VAT filing, and reporting. Askantis's Managing Director co-scopes projects, defines work packages, and helps price them. You're never alone on delivery.

The majority is yours, and it grows

There's no base salary here, and that's the point: your compensation isn't a fixed ceiling, it's a share of real value you create. Start from gross (brutto) project revenue, subtract development, hosting, and maintenance costs to get Net Project Revenue, then Askantis takes its commission from that net. On your first pilot you source, Askantis keeps 20% of net and you keep 80% of net. From the second project on, our cut starts at 15% of net and only falls. Everything is transparent on every engagement.

Phase 1: first project 20%, then 15% down to 5% floor

Loyalty is built into the math

The first project is 20% Askantis commission to cover Einarbeiten. After a successful first project, it goes to 15%, then every project you complete in good faith lowers Askantis's commission by one percentage point (15%, 14%, 13%) down to a permanent floor of 5%. That means over time you can keep up to 95% of Net Project Revenue. Reductions you've earned are never taken back. The longer we build together, the better your terms get. That's not a promise, it's written into the agreement.

Reductions reward genuine partnership effort, not artificially small projects. Phase 1 rates shown; later phases may differ and are always applied prospectively and explained clearly.

The journey

Projects are structured as work packages with fixed cost caps, giving clients cost certainty and aligning everyone's incentives.

[01] Pilot

A focused 2 to 4 week engagement that proves value to a new client. (For very small pilots, Askantis often waives its cut in goodwill.)

[02] MVP

The first full implementation phase, typically 1 month to 1 year depending on scope. This is where the loyalty ladder kicks in.

[03] Ongoing

Further development, or long-term service & maintenance. Recurring relationships, recurring bonuses.

Projects can become products, and you own a stake

Askantis isn't trying to run a handful of projects. It's building a cross-sector portfolio of AI work, and every custom solution is a potential seed for a standalone product. When a project you lead generates technology with product potential, a separate Product Ownership Agreement is negotiated in good faith, giving you a meaningful stake based on your contribution. The clients you bring, the relationships you build, the things you ship: they compound. You're a co-builder in what Askantis becomes.

What you get

Swiss legal umbrella

Contracts signed by an established Swiss GmbH.

On-demand engineering

A vetted engineering pool; you never hire.

Finance handled

Invoicing, collection, VAT, reporting: all done for you.

Expenses covered

Reasonable client-facing expenses reimbursed; invest in relationships without hesitation.

Freedom to work elsewhere

No exclusivity. Askantis wants to be your most compelling partner, not your only one.

Good faith by default

Where anything is genuinely ambiguous, the agreement defaults toward the Partner's interest.

You build your name, not just ours

Partnership comes with an invitation, not an obligation, to stay visibly active on LinkedIn: roughly a post a week reflecting genuine professional thinking. Askantis gives you AI-assisted tooling to make it effortless: draft, refine in your own voice, publish. Critical and questioning views are welcome, this is about authentic contribution, not manufactured enthusiasm. Everything you publish stays yours. The reputation you build is yours to keep, during the partnership and long after.

Who this is for

Built for visionaries and entrepreneurs who already see the opportunity, but lack the engineering knowhow or the calendar space to ship it alone.

This is for you if

  • You have a network of Swiss (or EU) enterprise relationships, or the drive to build one.
  • You want to own the client relationship and take the majority of the reward.
  • You want a brand, a legal entity, and an engineering team behind you, without becoming an employee.

This probably isn't for you if

  • You want a fixed salary and no ownership of outcomes.
  • You're looking for a hands-off referral scheme rather than a real partnership.
  • You want to avoid owning delivery and client milestones yourself.

FAQ

Straight answers.

No. You're engaged as an independent commercial agent under Swiss law (Art. 418a to 418v CO). You're self-employed for social insurance (AHV/IV/EO) and free to work with other clients, there's no exclusivity.

Build your reputation on top of ours.

A pilot project. Your client. The majority of the value. Everything else handled.
