Permanent Founding Partner badge
A Founding Partner badge stays on your Van Isle business profile, showing you were part of the start.

First 25 businesses
Become a Van Isle Trades Founding Partner
Van Isle is being built with Vancouver Island businesses and users. The platform is free to use while we complete it — real jobs can be posted, bid, awarded and completed, and payment is arranged directly between the parties while online payments are unavailable.
A Founding Partner is a business that wants to be visibly part of the start and help shape what gets built. It’s C$39 total, one-time — GST included if applicable.
Limited to the first 25 businesses. The button opens Stripe’s hosted payment page.
What’s included
Three things, for one one-time payment.
Basic listings and normal use of Van Isle stay free for everyone. This package is optional.
30 days of Featured Business placement
Your listing appears for 30 days under a clear “Featured Business” label. It is promotional placement, and it is marked as such.
Profile and listing setup help
We help you set up your business profile or listing, and get your first job or service described properly.
The honest part
What this package does not do.
We’d rather be clear now than oversell later. Founding Partner is support and visible promotion — it is not a lead contract.
- No guaranteed leads, jobs, reviews, rankings or endorsements.
- No reputation benefit. Reputation on Van Isle comes only from real completed work and real feedback.
- Paying for this package never changes reviews, trust or reputation signals, or how bids are compared.
- No subscription and no renewal — this is a single one-time payment.

Help shape what we build next.
Van Isle is built with Vancouver Island businesses and users, not for them in isolation. Founding Partners are welcome to tell us directly what would make the platform worth coming back to.
