Who we are
Partners & Alliances
We are a model-agnostic, infrastructure-flexible firm. The partner network below is what lets us meet clients on the stack they already run, and bring specialist expertise where it complements ours.
Partner ecosystem
A small, deliberate network — not a logo wall
We do not chase partner badges. Every relationship below earns its place because it changes what we can deliver for a client. The technology partners shape our architecture choices. The implementation partners cover the specialist domains we deliberately do not staff in-house.
Two principles guide the network. First, we stay model-agnostic and platform-flexible — no client should ever have to switch foundational tooling to work with us. Second, every partner relationship has a named partnerships lead on our side, accountable for the joint outcomes.

"Model-agnostic isn't a marketing line for us. We have shipped the same client architecture against three different foundation models in eighteen months. The partners that respect that survive in our network."
— David Park, VP Engineering
Implementation partners
Specialist firms that complement what we deliberately don't staff
We stay focused on a narrow scope of work and rely on a small set of specialist firms for adjacent disciplines — strategy, regulatory advisory, talent placement, and industrial integration. Every relationship is exclusive on our side within its category.
Strategy Consulting Partner
A boutique financial-services strategy firm. We partner on operating-model engagements where the strategy work and the agentic build run in parallel.
Risk & Compliance Partner
A specialist regulatory advisory firm focused on banking and insurance. They lead the regulatory work; we lead the build. Two complementary engagement teams in lockstep.
Operations Talent Partner
Senior operations placement firm. They source the right operating leaders to run the systems we build, when a client needs to expand internal capacity.
Industrial Integration Partner
A boutique industrial integration firm. They handle the OT/PLC-side integration work for our manufacturing clients while we own the agent layer.
How partnerships work
Joint accountability, not just joint marketing
Named partnerships lead
Every partner relationship has a single accountable owner on our side. Their name and contact are shared with the partner from day one.
Joint outcome KPIs
We measure partnership health on client outcomes, not pipeline. Every relationship is reviewed against shared success metrics quarterly.
Annual review & sunset
Every partnership goes through a formal annual review. Relationships that no longer change what we can deliver for a client are sunsetted — politely and on schedule.
Become a partner
We add one or two new partners a year. We are deliberate about it.
If your firm offers something genuinely complementary to our scope, we'd like to hear from you. The fit test is short: it has to materially change what we can deliver for a client we are already serving — or open a category of client we cannot serve today.
Send a short note to partners@apisonhooks.com with what you do, who you serve, and one example of where our work and yours might intersect. Our partnerships team replies to every inbound within ten business days.
