Ideally lots of companies and people will build on top of this protocol

Partnerships have some challenges
There isn't a way to make partnerships between the idea called Ravencoin & any organization because there isn't any organization or person able to make a partnership or speak on behalf of Ravencoin or sign agreements etc.
It's a true open source project with no leaders or central control.
This makes things like partnerships impossible in the sense of how they are done by centralized coins.
Ravencoin dev is like Bitcoin: there is no way for "Bitcoin" to sign a partnership-- even Bitcoin Core (which isn't really a thing) can't sign anything.
In Ravencoin everyone owns it and everyone can act as an individual and sign what they want.
Ravencoin is a community project entirely built and controlled by the community the only "central" items are the name itself and all that represents is an idea that the community generally is behind.
The bad news with this structure is that it is weird, chaotic, hard to understand and hard to get used to... especially for people new to open source.
"No leaders" sounds like some sort of new age techno babble -- but it's true -- for a real decentralized open source project like this there really is no central structure that can enter into deals etc.
This type of structure is so unusual these days that most people who got into crypto within the last 2 years have never seen a real open source project.
The good news is that this structure enables everyone an equal playing field in building. No one is working to enrich some select group who received awards or raised money. Everyone who wants to participate can in whatever way they want
