Beta Partner Program

Full Access.
Honest Feedback.

We’re looking for beta partners to put Heathen through its paces in real environments. In exchange for structured feedback, you get full SDK access at no cost — with terms designed for who you actually are.

Security Research Labs Universities & Academic Programs Independent Researchers Early-Stage Security Startups Student Projects
Two Tracks

Pick the Track That Fits

The two tracks differ only in what you’re allowed to do with the SDK. The SDK itself, the driver quality, and the access level are identical.

Track A
Research Partner
For labs, universities, academic programs, students, and independent researchers
  • ✓ Full SDK — production-signed x64 + ARM64 drivers
  • ✓ Deploy in your lab, VM environment, or on machines you own
  • ✓ Publish research, papers, and blog posts that reference or evaluate Heathen
  • ✓ No endpoint limit for academic and lab use
  • ✓ Best-effort technical support via email
Not for deployment to external organizations or end customers. Research and publication use is explicitly allowed and encouraged.
Track B
Startup Beta
For early-stage security startups building a product or proof of concept
  • ✓ Full SDK — production-signed x64 + ARM64 drivers
  • ✓ Redistribution rights for up to 50 endpoints
  • ✓ Deploy to your own customers to prove out the integration
  • ✓ Those 50 endpoints are perpetually licensed — they keep running even if you move to a paid tier or don’t renew
  • ✓ Best-effort technical support via email
At 50 endpoints, growth into the Startup commercial tier starts at $1,800/year. The perpetual 50 count toward that tier — you pay for new growth, not what you already have.
What We Ask

Three Simple Things

We’re not asking for much. This is a genuine partnership, not a data collection exercise.

01

A 30-day check-in

After 30 days of use, tell us what worked, what didn’t, and what you wish existed. Written email is fine. A short call works too. Whatever format fits how you communicate.

02

Honest feedback

We’re looking for bugs, rough edges, missing events, and integration friction. Positive feedback is welcome but not required. We learn more from the hard parts.

03

Optional: be listed

If you’re comfortable, we’d like to mention you as a beta partner when we announce the program publicly. This is always optional — anonymous participation is fine.

No NDAs required. You can talk about Heathen publicly from day one. Research partners are explicitly allowed to publish. Startups can demo to investors and customers. We think transparency is better for everyone.
