Step 2 of 4

Step 2 of 4: Partnership Screening

Vending Accelerator Partnership Application

This step exists because the system you’re applying into is already operating at scale, and not every path or timeline is a fit.

What This System Has Produced Since March 2024:

600+ vending machines installed in high-traffic, high-trust locations
$20,000,000+ in client revenue generated
1,250 daily foot-traffic average per location secured
93-day average from enrollment to becoming operational (2025)

These are not projections. These are operating results.

EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP APPLICATION FORM

This is a qualification process, not a form.

We review every application carefully.

Incomplete or surface-level responses are not considered.

Once submitted, you will be directed to schedule a Strategy Call with our team.
