Sponsored pilots & sponsoring The Edge

Sponsorship, two ways.

Two ways to work with the Deal Desk: get your rooftop sponsored for a Silent Pilot, or put your platform in front of the operators who read The Edge every week.

For operators · 3 rooftops per month

Edgeball sponsors three rooftops every month for a 30-Day Silent Pilot.

This is the fastest way into the Deal Desk. Each month we select three (3) progressive US dealership rooftops or rental locations and back an at-cost pilot of the complete loaner and toll operations stack. Nothing is silent about the ROI.

What a sponsored pilot includes

  • 45-second Bring-Your-Own-Device SMS check-in. Zero app downloads, zero counter lines.
  • Certified bidirectional write-back into major DMS platforms. Zero advisor double-entry.
  • Strictly month-to-month terms with 30-day notice. No 36-month lock-in traps or hardware buy-outs.
  • If we do not demonstrate major ROI in 30 days, you cancel penalty-free.
  • Standard $5,000 stack diagnostic fee waived for fleets with 50+ loaners or courtesy cars.

How to claim a slot

  1. Request the 15-minute audit and tell us your loaner or fleet count.
  2. We confirm fit within 48 hours and waive the $5,000 diagnostic for 50+ car fleets.
  3. Go live on your service lane inside 30 days. Month-to-month from day one.

Enrollment closes when the month's three slots are filled.

Sponsorship rules

The same standard we hold the Walled Garden to.

  • Sponsorship buys visibility, never editorial. Sponsors do not review, approve or influence issue content.
  • Every sponsored placement is labeled. Readers always know what is paid.
  • Edgeball does not broker pay-for-performance introductions. Operator introductions happen only when the data supports the fit.
  • Sponsors are held to the same standard as innovators in the Walled Garden: if your technology cannot plug a real leak, we will tell you.

Three rooftops. Thirty days. Zero lock-in.
