Although I’ve made quite a few kits, I’m only one person so I can’t make kits for everything! That’s why I am now starting the Tektite Partner Program and the Partner + Fulfillment program:
⚠️ Some of the terms below are subject to change as this program evolves
Tektite Partner Program
The Tektite Partner Program allows you to make a kit and sell it on the Tektite marketplace! This program offers:
- Marketplace of 100+ regular customers with 1000+ views/month
- Significant experience building and producing kits
- One-on-one guidance on working with manufacturers and part sourcing
- Design review and design for assembly
- Advertising along other Tektite kits
- Free shop hosting and payment processing
In return we ask:
- Kit costs under $150
- Can be built in under 2 hours by a beginner
- Can achieve good scores (contact me for specific numbers) even when built by a beginner
- Build tutorials
- Support for people with the kit
- 10% of profit (not revenue, much lower than the app store!)
Tektite Partner + Fulfillment program
Even when designed well, it can still be a lot of work to source hundreds of components and assemble and pack boxes for kits. In the Partner + Fulfillment (Partner+) program we will, in addition to the previously listed items:
- Pay the upfront costs for building inventory
- Handle sourcing of components
- Pack boxes
- Fulfill orders to customers
In return, we expect 40% of the profit instead of 10%.
What kits are needed?
I’m actively looking for kits in:
- Hovercraft
- Boomilever
- Helicopter
- Autoloader (doesn’t need to fit into the aforementioned constraints)
If you have any other ideas for kits contact me too!
How do I join?
DM me – @nv7_ – on Discord (before August 2025) with the kit you are interested in building, the scores you are expecting to get (based off of this years rules), and any other details you have!
Work on the actual kit can start once Draft rules are available! Throughout the process of designing I help with component selection and design for assembly/manufacturing. Before the kit goes for sale I will assemble and test one to ensure it is up to Tektite’s quality standards!
