For industry & brand partners
Back the trade. Reach learners. Keep it honest.
ArcForge partners are equipment makers, consumable suppliers, and education suppliers who publish reviewed resources, sponsor pathways and scholarships, and support welders coming up in the trade — under neutrality rules that never bend. Partners never touch the AI’s conclusions, and never buy access to private welder data.
What partnership offers
A real place in the learning, not an ad slot
Partners get a workspace to build a profile, author resources, and run sponsorships — and learners get content that earned its place through review.
A verified partner profile
Equipment makers, consumable suppliers, and education suppliers get a public profile in our partner directory — once ArcForge has reviewed and verified it. Partners can’t self-verify; the badge means we checked.
Reviewed educational resources
Publish genuinely useful guides — equipment walkthroughs, consumable selection, technique articles, videos — using the same content renderer as our own lessons. Every piece passes ArcForge editorial review before a single learner sees it.
Sponsorships, disclosed
Back a learning pathway, a cohort, or a challenge. Sponsorship is a disclosed funding relationship, labeled as such — never a quiet hand on the scale. It buys visibility for your support, nothing more.
Scholarships that reach learners
Fund scholarships tied to a program or open to the community. Learners apply through your own process; ArcForge surfaces the opportunity honestly and gets out of the way.
Strict neutrality
The lines we will not cross
Trust is the whole product. These safeguards aren’t marketing — they’re built into how the platform works.
Partners never influence AI scoring
This is the bright line, and it does not move. A partner relationship — sponsorship, published guides, anything — has zero effect on what the AI says about a weld. Technical conclusions are ours and the welder’s, never a sponsor’s. Competitor products are never suppressed.
Partners never buy access to private welder data
There is no tier, no contract, no price that exposes individual welder records to a partner. Partner analytics are aggregated and privacy-preserving — no individual welder rows, no PII — and a partner never receives private welder data without that welder’s explicit authorization.
Everything is reviewed, and sponsored content is labeled
All partner-published content passes ArcForge admin review before going live. Sponsored content is always marked “Sponsored,” and product claims are attributed to the brand — never presented as independent ArcForge findings. We keep our editorial independence the whole way down.
See it in practice
Meet the partners already on board
Our public directory lists verified partners and the guides they’ve published — every one reviewed, every sponsored piece labeled.
Browse the partner directory to see how verified partners show up to learners, or read our privacy policy for exactly how partner analytics stay aggregated and welder data stays private.

Support welders the right way
If you make the gear, the wire, or the courseware that the trade runs on, we’d like to talk — about reviewed resources, sponsorships, and scholarships, never about access to private data.
ArcForge maintains editorial independence: partners never influence AI scoring or technical conclusions, competitor products are never suppressed, sponsored content is always labeled, and partner analytics are aggregated and privacy-preserving. AI feedback is educational guidance only and does not replace a qualified inspector.
