Partner with Good Company
Fill your tables, courts and sessions with small groups of ID-verified people, and carry a verified-partner badge members can trust.
Founding-partner programme. Good Company is launching city by city. Partner listings and the verified-partner badge arrive in the app with our first city, and founding partners join first. Nothing on this page is live in the app yet; applying now puts you at the front of the queue and costs nothing.
Who it’s for
Venues
Restaurants, cafés, bars, gyms and climbing walls that want quiet nights and spare tables filled by small, friendly groups.
Event hosts
Clubs, run groups, quiz nights and organisers who want to meet new people without chasing strangers online.
Universities and unions
Help new students find their people. Every student member is verified, and plans stay on campus.
Companies
Verified team socials and onboarding meet-ups, for remote and hybrid teams who rarely share a room.
Brands and sponsors have their own page: sponsor a kind of plan.
What venues get
- Small groups of verified people. Most plans are between 2 and 12 people; hosts can set up to 50 for larger events, and nights out are capped at 12. Plans are matched by age range, and every member has passed a government-ID check.
- A place in the plan flow. Hosts choosing where to meet can pick partner venues, so you are suggested at the moment people decide.
- A verified-partner badge members can recognise (see how you earn it below).
- A monthly report. Emailed on the last day of every month: guests, groups and new faces at your venue, how often you were shown to hosts nearby, your busiest days and times, how you compare with the typical partner venue in your city, friendships that started at your venue, and what each guest cost you. Counts only: no names, contact details or anything about individual members. See an example.
- No commission on what guests spend. You pay the programme fee in the table, nothing on the bill.
For universities and students’ unions
- A campus launch, run for you. With your students’ union: posters with QR codes, a short talk at welcome events, and help for student ambassadors to post the first study groups for popular courses.
- A monthly impact report. Verified students, students who met up, plans held, study groups by course, students by year of study, friendships made and safety check-ins. Anonymous totals: any number under 10 shows as “Fewer than 10”. See an example.
- A direct line to our team for your student support staff.
- Free for every student, so nobody is left out by cost.
£179 a month plus VAT where it applies, invoiced on the 1st of each month with 30 days to pay by bank transfer, card or Direct Debit, and your PO number on every invoice. No setup fee and no contract; your first invoice comes on the 1st after your campus launch.
Your monthly report
On the last day of every month we email each partner a report on what their partnership brought in. These are examples with sample numbers.
What we don’t do
We don’t give partners member names, contact details or ID information. We don’t sell member data or use it to target advertising. A fee never buys an exemption from our safety rules or community guidelines, and anything paid for is labelled “Partner” or “Sponsored” so members can tell it from a normal plan.
How you earn the verified-partner badge
You pay for the programme. You earn the badge by passing our checks, and if you don’t pass, you’re refunded the fee. We start with these and add to them as we learn:
- Apply with the form below.
- Prove who you are. A Companies House number, or sole-trader details, plus a trading address and a named contact we can call back.
- Show you’re set up to host the public. Valid public liability insurance; a premises licence if you serve alcohol; and honest accessibility information (step-free access, toilets, noise).
- Agree the partner terms and community guidelines. We’ll send you the partner terms before you sign up; they include serving alcohol responsibly, and fair, plain pricing for groups. See the Partners section of our terms.
- Get the badge, checked again every year. It’s removed if the documents lapse or if reports from members show standards have slipped.
The badge means we have checked the items above. It is not an inspection, a safety guarantee or a quality rating, and we can’t promise what happens on any individual visit.

Common questions
Does it cost members anything?
No. Good Company is free for members: no subscriptions, no paywalls, no card details, and joining, posting, the group chat and every safety feature will always be free. Sponsors, corporate partners and venue partners like you are how we pay for it, and we never sell member data.
Can I just buy the badge?
No. The fee covers the programme and our checks. The badge is earned by passing them, and if you don’t, you’re refunded.
Will members be sent to my venue?
We can’t promise numbers. Hosts choose their own venue; partner venues are suggested to them. Your monthly report shows exactly what you get, so you can judge the value for yourself.
Do you take a cut of the bill?
No. There is no commission on what guests spend.
What about alcohol?
Venues serving alcohol must hold the right licence and follow the law on age checks and responsible service.
Are the reports anonymous?
Yes. Reports are counts only: we never share members’ names or details, or what anyone did. For universities, any number under 10 shows as “Fewer than 10”, and venue comparisons use the middle of at least five venues, never another venue’s own numbers.
