Lateral Moves exists to help people make smart lateral moves: into a new career, a new skill, or a new way of working with AI. We can do that better with partners who build the tools, courses, and research our readers rely on.
Who we partner with
Course providers and learning platforms
Universities, online learning platforms, bootcamps, and certification bodies. We review courses in depth and can feature programs that fit our readers' goals, through affiliate programs, reviews, or learning guides.
AI and developer tool companies
AI assistants, agent frameworks, connectors, and developer tools. We're interested in evaluation access, product demos, integration walkthroughs, and real-world workflows our readers can copy.
Security and privacy companies
Defensive tools, training platforms, and privacy products. We're happy to evaluate products and explain them clearly. Our security news coverage stays independent of any partnership.
Professional and business tools
Software for real estate, legal, finance, and small business that's adopting AI. We cover how these tools fit into real workflows, including the compliance rules that come with them.
Researchers and developers
Collaborate on experiments, benchmarks, open-source projects, and reproducible findings. See our research page.
Creators and publishers
Content collaborations, guest expertise, educational projects, and cross-promotion with people who share our standards.
Affiliate and referral programs
If you run an affiliate or referral program for a product our readers would genuinely use, introduce it. We join programs selectively and disclose every affiliate link on the page. Commissions never decide what we recommend or how we rate it.
What we cover
- AI tools and workflows: Claude, Claude Code, agents, connectors, local models, and AI for professional work in law, real estate, security, and creative tools.

What we value in a partner
- Usefulness: products and ideas that solve real problems for real people.
- Transparency: clear terms, honest claims, and disclosure our readers can see.
- Technical credibility: things that hold up when we test them.
- Long-term fit: relationships built on shared value, not one-off promotion.
- Independence: respect for our right to publish what we find.
