First-100 Operator Program
The first 100 verified protection professionals in each launch city get early access before public launch, eligibility for our city-launch press features, and a direct line to the founder. After 100 seats fill, the cohort closes for that city.
What First-100 Operators get
Early access in your city
You're live on the platform before public launch in your market. Take shifts before the general operator pool joins.
City-launch press eligibility
First-100 operators are the cohort we pitch to press for city-launch features and case studies. Our PR team coordinates — you get the spotlight.
Direct line to the founder
Darrell reads every email from First-100 operators and runs a monthly cohort call. Real product input, no support ticket queue.
Standard XGuard split, transparent in-app
The rate you take home is visible before you accept any shift. No agency markup. No surprise deductions. Same terms as everyone else — no fine print.
Eligibility
We only accept verified, experienced professionals into the First-100 cohort. The bar is intentionally high — clients booking through XGuard expect First-100 Operators to set the quality benchmark in their city.
- Verified license with the relevant authority (LARS, SIA, BSIS, ROLH, etc.)
- 5+ years of professional experience in your primary vertical
- Active commercial insurance — your own policy or your agency's COI (public liability + professional indemnity where required). XGuard verifies; you carry.
- Verified Stripe Identity
- Minimum 4.7 lifetime client rating where available
Apply to the First-100 cohort
Applications go through XGuard's standard signup in the app. After you complete verification — license check, ID, background — our team reviews your credentials against First-100 criteria. If you qualify, we'll reach out within 48 business hours with cohort placement for your city.
