Build a business on Zero Hunt
Zero Hunt is sold exclusively through authorised channel partners. The product fits a specific buyer profile and pays distributors a margin structure aligned with the deal complexity of selling an on-premise AI security appliance. This page describes what we look for in a partner, what we offer, and how to apply.
Ideal customer profile (your ICP, our ICP)
- ▸EU mid-market to large enterprise: utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, public administration, defence supply chain.
- ▸Headcount 250–10,000. Existing security budget. NIS2-in-scope or DORA-regulated where relevant.
- ▸Data sovereignty constraint: explicit policy that production telemetry cannot leave the perimeter (regulatory, classified or contractual).
- ▸Already running annual or quarterly pentests; needs to move to continuous validation but cannot adopt a SaaS pentest vendor.

Margin structure (overview)
Exact figures are in the authorised commercial kit, but the structure rewards partners that bring qualified pipeline:
Tier 1 — Registered
Standard reseller margin on registered deals. Entry tier — no minimum revenue commitment, just registration discipline.
Tier 2 — Certified
Stepped-up margin after one technical resource certified + first paid deployment. Adds co-marketing budget allocation.
Tier 3 — Strategic
Top margin for partners with vertical specialisation (utilities, defence, healthcare) and minimum committed pipeline. Includes joint roadmap access and named field engineer.
What we ask of partners
- ▸A specialised cybersecurity practice or MSP/MSSP unit. We are not a fit for generalist VARs.
- ▸Demonstrable customer relationships in at least one of our ICP verticals.
- ▸Willingness to invest in technical certification (one engineer minimum) within 90 days of signing.
- ▸Adherence to the channel-only sales policy: we do not sell direct in markets covered by an active partner.
- ▸Honest positioning. The /vs/ pages on this site set the tone — we expect the same intellectual honesty in partner-led sales motions.
