Association

Alpine associations, national clubs, university mountaineering clubs

The partnership: a new revenue line for your association, a real perk your members feel every checkout, and a training platform your guides actually use, so your endorsement is defensible.

  1. 1
    Your branded discount code

    Membership benefits pile up but rarely feel like real perks. Members forget you even have any.

    A code that carries your association's name. When members apply it at checkout, they know the perk came from you. Reinforces membership value in the moment.

    Member value
  2. 2
    Revenue share back to your association

    Member dues plateau. New funding lines are rare and usually admin-heavy.

    Every member who subscribes through your code sends a quarterly share back to your organisation. Zero admin on your side. Recurring revenue, indexed to member engagement, designed together (flat percent or tiered).

    Funding
  3. 3
    Free platform access for every active guide

    You can't credibly endorse a platform your own guides have never used. Members spot a rubber-stamped partnership fast.

    Every active guide in your association gets full access, no limit. Their recommendation is defensible because they have actually used it.

    Authority
  4. 4
    Public recognition + mutual backlinks

    Your association's website deserves more traffic. Google keeps ranking generic international brands ahead of you for your own country's peaks.

    We list you as an official partner and link back to your guide directory. Our audience grew +700% active users, +537% engagement in the last 90 days — your endorsement rides on that reach.

    Reach
  5. 5
    Co-authored content, if it fits

    Producing member content is exhausting. Your guides have knowledge but no time; your comms team has time but not the knowledge.

    Your guides bring the voice; we write and host. One piece on training for the peaks your members actually go for, published on both sides.

    Voice

Guide Company

Guiding services, expedition operators, mountain schools

The partnership: a new revenue line from your existing clients, a way to see if they trained before they arrive, and a modern answer to the "how should I train?" question your guides keep getting.

  1. 1
    Your branded discount code

    Clients book with you and then vanish for six months. You have no way to add value between deposit and arrival.

    Your code goes in the "thanks for booking" email. Real value in a real moment. Bonds them to you sooner and gives them a training path built for the peak they booked.

    Client value
  2. 2
    Revenue share back to your company

    Client acquisition is expensive. Post-booking, there's no additional monetisation until the next trip.

    Every client who subscribes through your code sends a quarterly share back to the company. New recurring revenue from the same customer, without you selling anything extra.

    New revenue
  3. 3
    Free platform access for every guide

    When a client asks "how should I train?" your guides give the same generic answer they've given for a decade. You know it's not enough anymore.

    Your guides use the platform themselves. They prescribe it for a client's specific booked peak, based on the same tool the client is using. A modern answer to an old question.

    Authority
  4. 4
    Public recognition + mutual backlinks

    You compete with global operators for organic search. Small ops can't outspend big brands on ads.

    We list you as an official partner and link to your booking pages. When climbers Googling their peak land on Train to Mountain, we route them back to you. Reach without paying per click.

  5. 5
    Client vetting before summit day

    You've had a client arrive who cannot do what they booked. It's dangerous, it's a refund headache, it damages your reputation. Every guide has this story.

    The free Summit Readiness check gives your guides a way to see, three months out, whether a client is on track. Awkward conversations happen in email, not on the mountain.

    Safety

Athlete

Climber, member, client — the person actually training

The promise: arrive at your peak knowing you are ready. Not "did I do the training." Actually ready. Everything else follows from that.

  1. 1
    A plan built around your specific summit

    You bought a PDF plan that assumed you're training for the same generic mountain as everyone else. Your Mont Blanc is not their Denali.

    One plan, built for one peak. Every session references the objective you booked. Volume, vertical, load, altitude prep — all tuned to your mountain.

    Personalised
  2. 2
    Weekly recalibration on what actually happened

    Life gets in the way. You miss a week. Your PDF plan doesn't know or care.

    Every Sunday the plan reads what you actually did that week — what you missed, what you smashed, how you slept, how you recovered — and rewrites the coming week to keep you on track for summit day.

    Honest
  3. 3
    Wearable-connected

    Your Garmin has all the data. Your training plan has none of it. You spend Sunday manually copying numbers.

    Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Apple Health all wired in. Your body's real state flows into your plan automatically. No spreadsheet in between.

    Integrated
  4. 4
    One honest readiness screen

    The night before your trip, you don't actually know if you're ready. You just hope.

    One screen, one number. Ready for this specific peak on this specific date. Not "did I do the training." Actually ready.

    Certainty
  5. 5
    A partner code that pays your discount forward

    Real training platforms feel expensive. Real coaches cost thousands.

    Your association or guide company gives you a code. You pay less. They earn a share back. Everyone in the chain wins from you succeeding on the mountain.

    Value

Platform

Train to Mountain — the personalised mountaineering training platform

What we do: we replace the PDF training plan and the generic coaching app with a personalised, wearable-connected, weekly-recalibrated plan for one specific summit. And we share revenue with the associations and guides who send us the people we serve.

  1. 1
    Peak-specific, not generic

    Every existing platform trains "the athlete." None train "the athlete going up Mont Blanc in September."

    One plan, built around one specific peak. Volume, vertical, load, altitude prep tuned to the objective the athlete booked.

    Differentiator
  2. 2
    Weekly recalibration on real signals

    PDF plans assume perfect execution. Real life is never perfect.

    Every Sunday the plan reads what actually happened and rewrites the coming week. Plans learn; they don't sit static.

    Adaptive engine
  3. 3
    Wearable-open

    Most training platforms lock you to one wearable ecosystem.

    Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Apple Health — all wired in. Use whatever you already wear.

    Open
  4. 4
    The free Summit Readiness check

    Every athlete arrives at summit day with the same silent fear: am I actually ready?

    One honest projection, free to anyone, no account needed. It's the tool that generates value across the whole ecosystem: athletes get certainty, guides get client vetting, associations get a member benefit.

    Free tool
  5. 5
    Revenue-share partnership model

    Most SaaS charges its partners for the privilege of promoting it.

    Every subscription that comes through a partner code sends a quarterly share back to that partner. Aligned incentives. Partners earn when we grow; we grow when partners endorse.

    Aligned

Open a partnership conversation.

Thirty minutes, no slides. We design the code, the split, and the launch mechanics together. If the fit is real, we build from there. If it's not, no obligation on either side.
