Critical BD gap · Highest leverage in the next 30 days
CreateOS is not on OpenAI's Agents SDK default-provider list.
Current list (per Addendum 3): Blaxel, Cloudflare, Daytona, E2B, Modal, Runloop, Vercel. Every AI-agent builder in 2026 reads this SDK doc. Named contact: Karan Sharma — OpenAI Product, Agents SDK. Process: (1) build reference integration implementing the sandbox-provider interface (2-4 weeks engineering) → (2) publish a case study of an agent earning real money on MPP → (3) submit to Karan via DevRel. One BD win = a year of content marketing. If OpenAI declines, open-source the integration — distribution still flows via the Agents-SDK community.
Tier 1
SDK + direct integration targets
Next 30 days · highest leverage per BD hour
Karan Sharma — OpenAI
Product · Agents SDK
"CreateOS is the only agent sandbox with built-in HTTP 402 payment rails. Every other provider is a cost center; we make the agent a revenue center. Reference integration ready. Requesting 15-min exploratory call."
Path: LinkedIn · TechCrunch coverage of Agents SDK launch · DevRel.
Blocker: reference integration must be working before outreach.
Rohan Varma — OpenAI
Product · Codex
Codex's default deployment targets are Render, Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel. Be the 5th — differentiated by agent-earn capability. Separate conversation from Agents SDK.
Path: publicly endorsed Cloudflare's Agent Cloud during Agents Week. Reachable via that thread.
Harrison Chase — LangChain
Co-founder & CEO
LangSmith Deployment is adjacent but lacks payment rails + marketplace — complementary, not competitive. Pitch: CreateOS as the execution layer for LangGraph agents that need to earn.
Scale: 1B+ cumulative downloads, 35% of Fortune 500 using, $1.25B valuation (IVP-led, Oct 2025).
Event leverage: Interrupt 2026 — May 13-14, The Midway SF. Register + book meetings now.
Anthropic integrations team
Claude Code partnerships
Claude Code users are direct ICP. Pitch: "CreateOS is where Claude-Code-built apps go to run and earn."
Path: warm intro via Claude Code community. Named contact not yet surfaced — gap to close.
Andrew Reed — LangChain
DevRel Lead
Public face of the SDK; secondary path to Harrison. Good target for co-marketing collaboration around LangChain → CreateOS deployment quickstart.
Path: X, LinkedIn — already public-facing.
Tier 2
Strategic partnership targets
Next 60 days · ecosystem moves
Sri Viswanath — Sycamore Labs
Founder & CEO · Agent governance
Four layers, no overlap: Sycamore defines policy → CreateOS executes → MPP pays → router handles inference. Mutual value. "The execution layer for trusted enterprise agents — and the only one that makes those agents revenue centers."
Funding: $65M seed (Coatue + Lightspeed, Mar 30 2026). Angel list: Bob McGrew, Lip-Bu Tan, Ali Ghodsi, Frederic Kerrest, Mike Knoop, BJ Jenkins.
Path: @SycamoreLabs on X, Sycamore website contact.
Jansen Teng — Virtuals Protocol
Co-founder · Tokenized agents
Virtuals agents need deployment infra; CreateOS provides it. MPP = HTTP-native payment; Virtuals = token identity + co-ownership. 3-6 month window before they build their own.
Scale: 18,000+ tokenized agents, $39.5M cumulative protocol revenue, $1M/mo Revenue Network.
Path: Virtuals Discord, @VirtualsIO, contact form. Warmer: mutual investor via Beam (Virtuals seed).
Nish — HydraDB
Founder · Managed agent memory
One-click managed agent memory / context store. Phase 2 → Phase 1 per Addendum 2 (move it up — agent memory is becoming a default expectation).
Path: cal.com/nish-sri — already in user contacts.
x402 Foundation — CDP / Coinbase
HTTP-payment governance
MPP must align publicly within 30 days. Pick: facilitator / extension / compatible. Publish, register with the foundation. Avoid being framed as a rival protocol.
Scale: $600M annualized, 119M Base txs. Co-governed by Coinbase + Cloudflare + Google + Visa.
Named contact: Nemil Dalal (early CDP, publicly associated with x402 launches).
Multica — Multica AI (open-source)
Founder · Agent orchestration platform
CreateOS as a Multica cloud runtime. Their daemon model is designed for pluggable runtimes. Pitch: "An agent assigned in Multica → runs on a CreateOS sandbox → MPP earnings flow back as a metric on the runtime card." Vendor-neutral by design — they support 10+ coding-agent CLIs, so a CreateOS adapter fits the pattern. Risk if we don't move: Modal / E2B / Daytona become the default runtime for the 21.3k-star community first.
Scale: 21.3k GitHub stars, 2.6k forks, 53 releases (latest v0.2.17). Bilingual (EN + 简体中文). Multica Cloud is currently in waitlist.
Path: @MulticaAI on X · GitHub Issues · maintainer outreach via repo CONTRIBUTING.
Asset to ship first: open-source multica-runtime-createos reference adapter. Mirrors the OpenAI Agents SDK provider play.

Ecosystem tracking — no active BD
Watch, don't approach
Competing deployment platforms (study, don't approach): Fly.io, Render, Railway.
Builder-shell competitors (different lane, no BD): Replit, Anything.com, Hercules — three players converging on the same maker shell. CreateOS sits below them as runtime+payments; not a partnership target unless one of them needs HTTP-402 endpoints for their generated apps.
Agent sandbox competitors (possible future partnership if category fractures): E2B, Daytona, Blaxel, Runloop, Modal.
Crypto-agent platforms (different positioning): Fetch.ai, Olas, Autonolas.
AI inference specialists (possible router-side partnership): Baseten, Fireworks, Together AI.
