Bring Flowcite to universities in your market

Flowcite is an AI-assisted research, writing and reference platform, licensed to institutions on annual concurrent-user terms. We work through partners who know their local higher-education market, and we support them rather than compete with them.

In short: The Flowcite Partner Program is for resellers, value-added resellers and distributors selling software into higher education. Partners sell annual concurrent-user institutional licences in designated territories, with deal registration, a demonstration environment, remote certification and second-line support. Apply on this page and we respond within two working days.

Why it lands well on campus

Three things that make Flowcite straightforward to introduce at a university.

Support researchers actually want

Universities are increasingly choosing to guide responsible AI use rather than restrict it, and researchers want tools that help them work well and cite properly. Flowcite sits with that direction of travel, which tends to make it a welcome conversation with a library or research office rather than a difficult one.

Licensing that scales to a whole campus

Flowcite is licensed on concurrent users rather than named seats, so an institution can open it up to a large population without buying a seat for every individual. That keeps the arithmetic simple for the library and puts the tool in front of the people who benefit from it.

It complements what is already in place

Reference management, literature discovery, collaborative and LaTeX authoring, citation inside Word, and AI assistance grounded in the institution’s own library. It sits comfortably alongside the research and statistical software universities already run, and reaches the same researchers.

Three partner models

Pick the one that matches how you already operate. We will confirm it on the qualification call.

	Reseller	Value-Added Reseller	Distributor
What you do	Sell subscriptions in designated territories with our support	Add integration and training services	Handle localised fulfilment and billing in your region
Margin	Standard partner margin	Enhanced partner margin	Enhanced partner margin
Territory	Designated, non-exclusive	Designated, non-exclusive	Regional
Deal registration	Yes, 90 days	Yes, 90 days	Yes, 90 days
Commitment	None	Minimum annual volume, agreed in writing	Minimum annual volume, agreed in writing

Margin depends on model, territory and commitment, and is agreed in the partner agreement. Tell us about your business and we will come back with a specific proposal.

Introducing an institution without reselling

If you would rather introduce an institution than carry the line, we pay a one-time fee or a revenue share when it closes. Say so on the form and we will send those terms instead.

What we provide, and what we ask

Every item on the left is a commitment we can meet today.

What Flowcite provides

A partner demonstration environment you can run without us.
Half-day remote certification for your team.
Deal registration, so we never compete with you on an account you opened.
Second-line technical support, in English.
The institutional pack: data processing agreement, sub-processor list and a pre-answered security questionnaire.
Sales collateral: the institution one-pager, objection handling and a discovery question set.

What we ask of a partner

You sell software into higher education in your territory today.
You can invoice the institution directly and in local currency.
You provide first-line support, and tell us in which languages.
You register deals before you work them.
You tell us which competing products you carry. We expect some. It is not disqualifying.

Academic integrity comes first

This applies to every partner programme we run, without exception.

Flowcite exists to make honest research faster, never to help anyone cheat. Our tools help researchers find, read, cite and write their own work with more speed and more rigour.

Essay mills, ghostwriting services and deceptive AI tools are excluded from every Flowcite partner programme. We decline partnerships that market Flowcite as a way to avoid doing the work, and we end agreements where that happens.
