Partners
Partner prospectus
Where your name appears when you partner with Scalpels: the directory, product pages, the Lab, the front page, and the two shows we publish.
Agencies, freelancers and supporters each partner with Scalpels in one of two tiers, Standard and Front Page. This page sets out everywhere your name appears in each.
Where you appear
The partner directory
Every partner, in every tier, is listed in the partner directory, with a link to your site.
Product pages and guides
Every product page and every guide ends by offering the reader help from our partners:
- Freelancers are shown to the visitors closest to them. Each page shows three freelancers, starting with those in the visitor's own country, and Front Page freelancers come first among them. Nobody is ever shown ahead of a freelancer nearer the visitor.
- Agencies take turns: every page shows one agency, rotated through every agency we list. Front Page agencies get three turns for every one a Standard agency gets.
These are the people reading about a product at the moment they are deciding whether they want help with it. When a reader asks a partner for help and signs up, we introduce them to that partner by email.
The Lab
Every supporter, in every tier, is shown on the Lab and at the foot of every idea and every experiment we publish there.
The front page
Front Page partners are shown on the Scalpels front page.
Scalpels in the Lab and Artisan Beer
Front Page partners are also part of the two shows we publish, described next.
The shows
Scalpels in the Lab
A daily live stream. Each episode picks up one idea from the Lab, talks it through and kicks off the experiment. The next day, we go through what that experiment turned up, then start the next one. It's an honest look at building with AI, Laravel Cloud and open-source software, one small experiment at a time.
Artisan Beer
A weekly podcast. Each episode is a conversation with one of our colleagues or someone else from the ecosystem about where our industry is heading: the evolving role of open source in an AI-driven industry, what they are building, and plenty about Scalpels along the way.
