Partner like a much bigger company
The right partner gives a young company customers, distribution and credibility it can’t buy yet. Partnex does the groundwork a partnerships team would do.
Your next round may depend on your first big partnership.
Founders fit partnerships in between product, hiring and fundraising. Research waits, follow-ups slip, and the conversation with the big name goes quiet. Partnex keeps it moving while you build.
What founders deal with
No one owns partnerships
Founders fit partner conversations between product, hiring and fundraising, and the research and the follow-ups wait.
With Partnex
Partnex does the groundwork a partnerships team would do: the shortlist, the contacts, the drafts and the reminders. You take the meetings.
The big name goes quiet
A promising conversation with a large company stalls after the first call, and nobody knows whether to chase or let it rest.
With Partnex
Every exchange is on record, quiet threads are flagged after the number of days you choose, and the follow-up is drafted.
A pilot agreement you have never negotiated
The first design partner asks for terms, and the founder is reading a term sheet for the first time.
With Partnex
Partnex drafts the pilot term sheet around your limits and explains each change the partner’s side sends back.
A young company needs a reason to be chosen
The partner has never heard of you and has an incumbent to compare you with.
With Partnex
Each proposal leads with what the partner gains, built from research on that company rather than a generic pitch.
No budget yet
A partnerships tool is hard to justify before partnerships have produced anything.
With Partnex
Partnex is free to start, with five credits, so the first partnerships are prepared before there is a team or a budget for one.
Where the right partners pay off
Distribution partners
Customers through someone else’s channel
Be offered by vendors who already serve your buyers.
Platform integrations
A reason to choose you over the incumbent
Work natively with the tools your customers already pay for.
Industry names
Credibility by association
A recognised name next to yours shortens sales conversations.
