Industry Partner Founding Members

Third Person Industry Partner Program: where ecommerce logistics connections actually happen.

Apply by October 1

Founding pricing locked in for year one only · Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

Third Person sits at the center of ecommerce logistics, where brands and 3PLs come to find each other. Through our platform, private Slack group, and in-person retreats, dinners, and happy hours, we create intentional relationships throughout the industry.

No cold pitches. Buying decisions are made on peer recommendation, and the partners who get recommended are the ones who show up and help. The Industry Partner Founding Members program opens access, in a structured way, putting your company in front of the brands and 3PLs actively looking for what you offer — and founding members come in first, at founding pricing, recognized as founding partners for good.

Who’s in the collective

Our group is already growing — home to 150+ vetted ecommerce brands and 100+ 3PLs from our paid tiers. Brands like the ones below are the kind of names you’ll find at our retreats, dinners, and happy hours, and the type of partner we’d love to have in our curated collective.

Why a founding year

Our Slack group soft-launches mid September, with a firm launch date of November 1. That’s exactly why we’re opening a founding year at a founding rate: this is a testing year to prove out how it works. Founding members lock in the founding price and permanent founding status now, before projected standard pricing takes effect on October 1, 2027.

Founding terms: apply by October 1

Space is limited for year one. The founding price is valid for the first year only, from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. All pricing and structures are subject to change after that. The founding rate is available now — apply and pay before October 1.

Why Become An Industry Partner?

  • “We all know that real relationships and trust are what actually get deals over the line and move projects forward. Third Person is the only industry event I’ve attended that fosters that level of connection and has allowed me to meet the right brands at the right time. If the logistics space is important to you, this is the place to be.”

    —Luke Whiteman, DOSS

  • “If you want to have real, genuine, deep conversations about the logistics space that we know and love with some of the brightest there is, this is the place to do that. It's not surface-level conversations that go nowhere. I find myself much closer with existing contacts and off to a much faster start with new contacts than at the large majority of networking events I've been to in the past.”

    —Marco De Paulis, Loop

  • “The Third Person retreat struck a rare balance: every detail was thoughtfully planned, yet nothing about the connections felt forced. I left with genuinely meaningful relationships. Case in point: handwritten gift notes had been sitting on our idea list for ages, but a connection made at the retreat led us to the perfect partner in Yuzu — and we were off to the races within weeks. That’s the difference between organic relationship-building and a cold pitch: It actually moves your business forward."

    —Holly Leach, Weezie

  • "The Third Person retreat had the fastest payback of any event or sponsorship we’ve tried. It created an environment where genuine relationships formed naturally, without the usual pressure to pitch, and those conversations led directly to Yuzu working with both Weezie and Mugsy. It’s a great example of how bringing the right people together creates real commercial outcomes.”

    —Dru Carpenter, Yuzu

  • "The retreat was fantastic and well-run, and everyone came to collaborate. I had several conversations that have lead to new opportunities that have fully executed.”

    —Jack Hackett, Accelerated Global Solutions
