The Book on Partnerships is a practical guide on what partnerships are and how partners can help your startup beat the competition.
The right partnerships can make or break your business. I learned this lesson the hard way when one of my first partnerships nearly ended in a lawsuit. Yet soon after, our company, Hopin, formed hundreds of successful partnerships that fuelled our meteoric rise. Within two years, Hopin was valued at $7.75 billion, which earned us the title of “Europe’s fastest growing startup of all times”.
The Book on Partnerships is the summary of hundreds of expert sources and real-world examples. There is no hidden agenda, no pitch for expensive software, and no upsell for a $2,000 course at the end. This is the resource I wish I had when I knew nothing about partnerships.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a founder, entrepreneurial employee, or just curious about partnerships. This book will teach you how to create a partner strategy, find the right partners, drive more sales, expand globally, avoid channel conflict, forge alliances with industry giants, and get your startup acquired.
I’m new to the partnerships world. A lot of other books speak in platitudes or anecdotes from old times that don’t feel particularly relevant. I loved this book’s simple and tangible frameworks that both seasoned and new partnerships people can get value from. I also appreciated how clearly the author laid out his thought processes throughout the book. A lot of authors or tight leaders speak in generalities, but the real value of the book was learning how to think like a partnerships pro.
