Sponsorship

Reach the dentist about to spend $500K to $1M, 12 to 24 months before any database knows they exist.

Future practice owners don't show up in any list until they sign an LOI. By then, everyone is calling them. DOC is where they spend the year before that, learning how to buy what you sell.

The audience

The buyer you can't find anywhere else.

Dentists pursuing ownership work quietly inside someone else's practice. They don't raise their hand publicly until the deal is nearly done. DOC captures them at the start of the journey: dental students, associates, and early-career dentists working through a structured curriculum on lending, real estate, build-out, acquisition, legal, and every other decision that ends in a purchase order with someone's name on it. Maybe yours.

The faculty

Members trust the platform because they trust who is teaching.

Sixteen founding faculty build the DOC curriculum: practice-acquisition advisors, dental CPAs, attorneys, demographics analysts, marketing operators, and credentialing experts. Each teaches only what they are verifiably great at. Members show up for them, and your category sits inside that credibility, not next to filler.

How it works

Seventeen categories. One lock available in each.

Every sponsorship lives in a category. At Category Lead and Founding, that category locks to you and closes to your competitive set. From Premier upward, curriculum-category sponsors receive featured placement in relevant lessons within the modules that teach their category. Placement location and format are determined by DOC. Platform-category placement is defined in the sponsorship agreement.

Exclusivity, defined properly

We lock out your actual competitors, not a vague category name.

Exclusivity at the top two tiers is scoped to your real competitive set and written into your contract. An AI imaging company locks AI radiographic analysis, not all of imaging. The first question on our call is "who do you lose deals to?" and the answer becomes the language in your agreement. An internal registry ensures no two sponsors ever hold overlapping locks.

The Connect page inside the platform. All seventeen categories, each with one lock available. Unclaimed categories still render, and members can raise a hand in them today.

Pick your category. Pick your level.

Cumulative benefits; each tier includes everything below it.

Month-to-month.

The math

Run it with your own numbers, not ours.

Two figures you already know, and no projections from us. Lead routing exists at Category Lead and Founding only, so those are the two tiers this applies to.

Year one only. The customers you win carry their full lifetime value, and year two starts a fresh cohort on top. Modeled against the member floor written into your agreement, not against our year-one target. Nothing you type here is stored or sent anywhere. Both figures are yours, and so is the conclusion.
The guarantee

Miss the floor, and you choose the remedy.

Billing starts at launch, not at signing

You sign now to hold your seat and your category. You pay nothing until there is a live platform with members in it.

Five hundred members by month six

If we are under that at the six month mark, you pick one: an extended term at no cost until we clear the floor, or a clean exit with nothing further owed. Your category stays locked to you throughout the extension.

The guarantee exists so the only thing you are underwriting is our judgment, not our timeline.

What is not for sale

The rules that make this worth sponsoring.

Sponsors have no editorial or curriculum authority. Every lesson is created by an independent expert. Sponsor-hosted Live Webinars and AMAs are subject to DOC approval and editorial control.
Sponsors do not post in the member community.
No member list is ever sold or exported.
Sponsors never contact a member who hasn't asked for an intro.

These rules are why members trust the platform, and member trust is the asset you're buying placement in. We protect it like it's revenue, because for you, it is.

Leads

Every lead raised their own hand.

So where do leads come from? The platform gives members four places to ask for help:

01
An intent question at onboarding
02
A neutral category prompt at the end of relevant modules
03
A request-an-intro button on sponsor profiles
04
A connect page covering all seventeen categories

The member picks a category, never a vendor. If you hold that category at Category Lead or Founding, the lead routes to your team with name, email, and the surface it came from. That's the whole pitch: when a future owner asks for help in your category, the intro goes to you and not to the competitor you locked out.

The module-end prompt, the highest-intent surface. The member just finished the financial module and picks a category, never a vendor. If you hold that category, this intro routes to you.

Categories close one at a time. Yours might be next.

Tell us your category and who you lose deals to. We'll show you exactly what your placement looks like and what's still open.
