The Founding Partner Program is invitation-only.
PRE-LAUNCH · INSTITUTIONAL

The Founding Partner Program is invitation-only.

Pond Enterprise is not yet servicing institutional clients at scale. We're working with a small cohort of public libraries, universities, and spiritual archives on the first D-SAFE certifications. Slots for the Founding Cohort are limited.

FOR INSTITUTIONS

Apply for the Founding Cohort.

If you represent a public library, university, or spiritual archive and want to be considered for a future cohort, write to partners@dsafe.us with:

  • Your institution and current preservation status
  • Approximate collection size (titles + total bytes)
  • What kind of guarantee you need — legal, technical, or financial

We respond within 14 days. We are intentionally small, slow, and selective during the founding phase.

PRICING POSTURE

Two paths, neither published.

D-SAFE Certified (Public Domain) — collections that meet the D-SAFE "Safe for Humanity" standard are sponsored by the DataPond Trust at zero cost. Subject to audit and admission.

Sovereign Institution (Endowment Model) — universities, spiritual archives, and other custodians of uncensored or specialized collections can request a custom endowment quote. Pricing depends on collection size, certification scope, and white-label needs.

We don't publish institutional pricing during the founding phase. It would mislead by suggesting the program is more turnkey than it currently is.
