Become a founding partner of Cestian

Cestian is a global lifestyle and sourcing platform, currently in pre-launch. It combines two parts under one brand:

• Cestian Marketplace: a curated online collection of products, open to everyone.
• Cestian Private: bespoke services on request, such as private aviation, 5-star hotels and villas, yacht charter, chauffeur services and personal shopping, arranged through a network of vetted partners.

The platform is built by an independent founder based in the Netherlands and is designed to operate in multiple languages. The public launch is planned around the end of November 2026.

We are open about where we stand: Cestian is building its network with discretion, and we do not yet have published client or audience figures. What we offer founding partners is an early position on a new platform, on terms that reflect that.

• Founding status: a permanent 'Founding Partner' designation on Cestian.
• Entry pricing locked for 24 months, well below the rates planned once audience data exists.
• Category exclusivity available for one brand per category.
• Influence: founding partners help shape how their category is presented on the platform.
• Shared risk: payment in two instalments, and your 12 months only start once the platform is live.

Founding fees help finance the completion of the Cestian platform, including its automated sourcing and reporting systems. We say this openly because founding partners are, in a real sense, helping to build it.

1. A client browses the Marketplace or submits a request through Cestian Private.
2. Cestian matches the request with suitable options, supported by automated tools.
3. Where a partner brand is relevant, it is shown among the options, clearly labelled as a 'Partner', with its brand story and a link to its official channel.
4. The client decides freely. When a client asks to be introduced, we pass their details to the partner only with the client's consent.

Partner placements are always labelled as such, in line with EU consumer protection rules on paid placements.

Post-launch analytics

From launch onwards, every partner receives a comprehensive monthly report with verified performance figures:

• Brand visibility: total views of the partner's dedicated brand page and placements.
• Traffic and engagement: click-throughs to the partner's own website or channels.
• Client introductions: client enquiries and qualified introductions passed on to the partner.

Pre-launch figures and privacy

• Before launch: there are no figures to report yet, and we do not estimate or project future analytics.
• Data protection: personal data and client identities are handled with the utmost discretion. In line with the GDPR, no data or introductions are ever shared without explicit consent.

• Term: 12 months, starting on the actual public launch date, planned around the end of November 2026.
• Payment in two instalments: 50% on signing, 50% at the public launch.
• If the launch is delayed, the 12-month term moves with it, so the partner never loses any of the time paid for.
• Longstop date: if the platform has not launched by 31 March 2027, the partner may end the agreement. The second instalment is then not due, and the first instalment is refunded within 90 days.
• Either party may end the agreement at the end of the term with 30 days' notice.

1. Tell us which option interests you, or ask for a custom arrangement.
2. A short introductory call (about 20 minutes) to discuss fit and your category.
3. Signing of the founding partner agreement.
4. Onboarding: brand assets, story and official channels, ready for launch.
