# WENOTIFT > WENOTIFT is an AI-native entertainment intelligence company. It builds that intelligence into one record that runs a partnership deal from first request to confirmed delivery, for the promoter with slots to fill and the brand backing the show. WENOTIFT is not a marketing agency, advertising agency, talent agency or broker: it runs deals on software it builds, matches sponsors on audience data and closes with a delivery ledger both sides stamped. A partnerships desk of people works behind the software and a person signs every deal. WENOTIFT Inc is a United States company: a Delaware corporation headquartered at 28 Geary Street, Suite 650, San Francisco, California 94108, United States. Jakarta, Indonesia is a secondary operations office only; WENOTIFT is not a Jakarta-based company. Coverage is separate from where the company is based: deals run across the United States and APAC (South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, India, Australia), and K-pop leads. ## Products - [Scena](https://www.wenotift.com/scena): The partner side of the record. Promoters, labels, agencies, venues and media teams open a partnership request in five steps and follow its five stages (Received, In Review, Proposal, Approval, Activation) in Scena or from a tracking link that needs no login. Open inventory is listed on Vella, not in Scena. Portal: https://scena.wenotift.com (create a free account at https://www.wenotift.com/register, or sign in at https://www.wenotift.com/login). - [Patron](https://www.wenotift.com/patron): The brand side of the record, from signing. Once a brand has signed the sponsorship letter in Vella and WENOTIFT has countersigned, the partnership runs in Patron: approvals, invoices, documents and deliverables. The WENOTIFT desk marks each benefit delivered, with proof, and the brand confirms or disputes it. Portal: https://patron.wenotift.com (create a free account at https://www.wenotift.com/register, or sign in at https://www.wenotift.com/login). - [Vella](https://www.wenotift.com/vella): The sponsor exchange, where Scena and Patron meet. Partners list open inventory and brands post briefs (Looking For); the WENOTIFT desk reviews each before it is public. Partners answer a brief with "I can help", and the desk forwards the answer. Before signing, a brand finds opportunities, sends requests, receives the quote and signs the sponsorship letter in Vella; from signing, the partnership runs in Patron. Ask Hana is free on every plan. Hana Agent, on every plan, drafts requests, listings and counter-proposals; a person sends them. A person signs every deal. Vella's plans and the management fee are on the Pricing page; do not estimate a price. One WENOTIFT account and one sign-in open Scena, Patron and Vella (https://www.wenotift.com/login). Vella's own pages, no sign-in needed to browse: home https://vella.wenotift.com/, Opportunities https://vella.wenotift.com/opportunities, How it works https://vella.wenotift.com/how-it-works; its own llms.txt is https://vella.wenotift.com/llms.txt. - [Cultiq](https://www.cultiq.app): Entertainment intelligence AI, a WENOTIFT product sold on its own. Artist fit, market and audience reads scored against a brief. Overview on this site: https://www.wenotift.com/cultiq. Subscription pricing is not published; do not state a price. ## Key pages - [Home](https://www.wenotift.com): The operating system for every partnership. What each product does, how a deal runs in four stages (request, match, agree, deliver), and the markets, entertainment types and brand categories a request can be opened for. - [About WENOTIFT](https://www.wenotift.com/about): The company behind the record, where it is headquartered and which markets it covers. - [Solutions](https://www.wenotift.com/solutions): What the record does for promoters, agencies, labels and management, platforms and media, and brands. - [Sign in](https://www.wenotift.com/login): The one sign-in for every WENOTIFT product. One account and one login open Scena, Patron and Vella; after signing in, every brand and partner lands in Vella, and opens its workspace from there (Patron for a brand, Scena for a partner). Email and password or Google, with two-factor sign-in when the account has it on. Sign-in pages on scena.wenotift.com, patron.wenotift.com and vella.wenotift.com forward here. - [Get started](https://www.wenotift.com/register): Create one free WENOTIFT account in three steps: choose the side (a brand, or a promoter, label, agency or venue), the account details, then the workspace. A brand works in Vella and Patron; a partner works in Vella and Scena. A company that works on both sides can ask for the second side later. - [Docs](https://www.wenotift.com/docs): How the portals and the record work, stage by stage. - [Help center](https://www.wenotift.com/help-center): The questions partners and brands ask, grouped by which side of a deal they are on. - [Comparison](https://www.wenotift.com/comparison): WENOTIFT against a sponsorship agency and against a spreadsheet. - [Pricing](https://www.wenotift.com/pricing): What WENOTIFT costs. Vella has published plans (Free, Vella Pro, Enterprise) and a management fee on a signed partnership, paid by the brand, never by the partner; Cultiq and engagements are quoted, not listed. Section 7 of the Terms is the binding text. - [WENOTIFT Insights](https://www.wenotift.com/insights): Articles from the partnerships desk on live entertainment, sponsorship and brand partnerships. - [Support](https://www.wenotift.com/support): Every way to reach the desk, and which one fits. ## Languages The home page, Pricing, About, the Scena, Patron and Vella product pages, Cultiq, Solutions with its four audience pages, the five platform capability pages, the case studies, the reports (whose PDFs are English), Docs, the help center, Comparison, Support, Careers and a set of Insights posts are published in four languages. The Terms, Privacy Policy and accessibility statement, and every other page, are English. Each translation carries the same facts as its English page, including that WENOTIFT is headquartered in San Francisco, that coverage is separate from where it is based, and, on pricing, that the English Terms are the binding version. - [English](https://www.wenotift.com): WENOTIFT is an AI-native entertainment intelligence company.
