Introducing Collaborator Academy by Openfor.co

The majority of startups don’t have any partnership program, even though 1 in 3 of revenue can come from partnerships. It's just like not having a website in the 2000s! In today’s world, partnerships are the same. It’s just like leaving money on the table.

However, getting results quickly from partnerships can be difficult. That’s why you need to set up a partner program that helps your audience with easy collaborations and step-by-step guidelines with an efficient partner-onboarding process.

You can also achieve that on your own, but it generally takes longer to get some results out of partnerships and monetize. Our platform helps you to turn your audience into collaborators and monetize it with our built-in revenue share model.

With us, even startups who don’t even have revenue yet can start generating revenue while attracting investors, partners, and customers! If you want to learn about partnerships, check our blog on Why Partnership is important for Growth?. We have the complete partnership development solution to help startups to grow faster.

1. Mistakes and Myths about Partnership

What people generally confuse about partnerships is that it's only necessary after the growth stage. Actually, it is not so true. You can utilize partnerships from the very early stages. Your co-founder, your investor, your early adopter customer, or even the startup accelerator program that you joined are your partners as well.

“With us even startups who don’t even have revenue yet can start generating revenue while attracting investors, partners, and customers!”

Even though you validated your business, and even have secured Venture Capital funding, there are still many challenges in building and maintaining partnerships. Some of them include:
