Founding Partner Program

Become a founding market partner.

Selected early participants help shape the island's new commercial gateway — first into categories, first into the launch story, first in line for display consideration. Founding status is earned by fit and commitment, not just by paying first.

Founding benefits

  • Founding Partner recognition
  • Priority display consideration
  • Early digital onboarding
  • Product catalogue setup
  • Launch participation
  • Category priority
  • Zanzibar RFQ participation
  • Local commercial representation
  • Founding commercial terms for the agreed period

Who qualifies

  • • A real company with verifiable registration and a reachable decision-maker
  • • Products with genuine fit for Zanzibar's hotels, villas, developments or infrastructure
  • • Willingness to share catalogues, price lists and samples for onboarding
  • • A category where early positioning still matters — first movers benefit most
  • • Readiness to respond when qualified opportunities are routed to you

A fair note on exclusivity

Founding status brings category priority — not automatic exclusivity. Category exclusivity, where available, requires a separate strategic agreement. This keeps the programme credible for every partner.
