Founding Sponsor Program

A seat at the table
where the field is
being built.

value-basedcare.org is an independent .org — a neutral convening forum for the ideas, frameworks, and evidence shaping the transition to value-based care. Founding Sponsors are the organizations that believe this conversation matters enough to help make it possible.

A forum, not a
consultancy.

The .org designation is intentional. This is a convening organization — independent by design, with no vendor agenda and no product to sell. The value it creates comes directly from that independence.

Founding Sponsors are organizations that want to be part of shaping the conversation, not just benefiting from it. Their participation signals a genuine commitment to the field — and earns them proximity to the thinking, the relationships, and the frameworks being developed here.

Independent voice. No single vendor, payer, or provider organization controls the editorial direction. The analysis goes where the evidence points.

Both sides of the bridge. Coverage spans providers navigating transformation and the AI and technology companies trying to earn their trust — a perspective neither side gets alone.

Original research and frameworks. Not aggregated news. Not vendor white papers. Analysis and frameworks developed from direct engagement with the problems organizations are actually facing.

Practitioner-grounded. Built by someone with 25+ years inside enterprise healthcare technology — at the intersection of imaging, VBC, and AI adoption — not from the outside looking in.

Limited founding seats. The Founding Partner tier is intentionally small. The value of the association depends on the quality of the organizations at the table.

Three levels of
participation.

Each tier is structured around a different depth of engagement — from foundational visibility to a genuine seat in the conversation as it develops.

Founding Partner seats are intentionally limited. Once the cohort closes, this tier is gone permanently.
All tiers renew annually. Community Partners can upgrade to Supporting Sponsor at any time.

Sponsorship does not buy
editorial influence. That is by design.

The value of association with value-basedcare.org depends entirely on its credibility as an independent voice. Sponsors are recognized for their commitment to the field — not positioned as partners in content creation.

This is a conversation,
not a form.

Founding Sponsor seats are offered to organizations whose participation genuinely strengthens the forum. If this resonates, the right next step is a conversation about fit, tier, and timing.
