Location & Additional Info

Why a design partner programme

Activity businesses lose hours every week being the link between a booking widget, a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, and a group chat. RidgeHQ is built to remove that work — and the fastest way to get it right is to build it alongside operators running real days, rather than guessing from the outside. A small group means every partner works with the founder directly.

Step 1

Apply

Tell us about your operation below — what you run, how many staff and bookings, and the tools you use today.

Step 2

Talk it through

A conversation with the founder about where your day goes wrong and whether RidgeHQ is a fit right now. If it isn't, we'll say so.

Step 3

Set up together

Founder-led onboarding: your activities, staff, gear, and customers set up with you, with help bringing existing data across.

Step 4

Shape the product

Regular feedback calls while you run real days on RidgeHQ. What you find becomes the roadmap.

Frequently asked questions

Owner-operated and growing activity businesses that need more than a booking button — typically with staff to schedule, gear to rent or allocate, waivers or certifications to track, and partners or agents who send bookings. Dive centers and watersports operators are the first focus.

Founder-led onboarding, help migrating your existing data, regular feedback calls, early pricing access, and a direct line into what gets built next.

Running real operational days on RidgeHQ and giving structured, honest feedback about what works and what doesn't. That feedback is the point of the programme.

The pilot is a paid programme. Current terms are on the pricing page and are confirmed with you directly before you start.

No. Dive centers are the first focus, but RidgeHQ also runs surf, kite, sailing, and windsurf schools, ski schools, outdoor and whitewater operators, resorts, camps, and rental and tour businesses.
