( The offer )
Consent infrastructure, on the house.
You're building fast. You still need to prove permission behind every face, voice, and likeness your product touches. The Royall Startup Program hands you the whole rights layer — for a year — so you can ship AI that asks first without paying enterprise prices to do it right.
White-glove onboarding
A shared Slack channel with our team, integration reviews, and direct help getting your first verified call shipping to prod.
Founder-friendly pricing after
When your free year ends, roll onto startup pricing built for pre-Series-B teams — no surprise enterprise quotes.
Design partner status
Roadmap influence, early access to new endpoints, and a co-marketing spot when you're ready to talk about what you built.

( What's included )
The full API, no throttled tier.
You get the same endpoints, SDKs, and infrastructure our paying customers use in production. This is the real API, not a preview.
Identity resolution
Ask whether a face, voice, or name matches a verified, registered likeness — and who holds the rights.
Real-time consent checks
One call before you generate. Get a live yes / no with the exact scope, duration, and territory that's permitted.
License routing
Read the terms an owner has approved and route compliant, paid uses at the moment of creation.
Signed webhooks
Subscribe to consent updates and revocations so your systems stay in sync — no polling, no stale cache.
Fail-closed by default
Revoked permission returns denied instead of a stale yes. Auditors and partners love this. So do owners.
Sandbox + live keys
Full sandbox with seeded identities and simulated consent states, then flip to live when you're ready.
( Who qualifies )
Built for teams shipping now.
The program is designed for early-stage AI-native startups — the teams most likely to bump into identity, consent, and licensing questions before they have a legal department to answer them.
