Our take
The benefits of having a partner program are huge - from the increased sales growth to reaching new markets, all the while keeping costs low. At the time PartnerStack was launched, there were no Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platforms offering to pay out partners, automate emails, track more than one conversion per customer, or run more than a single partner program.
PartnerStack was built as a partnerships platform aimed at supporting B2B SaaS companies in building and scaling their partner channels. As the only PRM platform built specifically for this market segment it has proven to be popular and their client list includes Vimeo, DoorDash and Freshworks, to name a few.
Despite an impressive level of investment funding, PartnerStack struggled somewhat with the market turmoil across 2022 and 2023. After making substantial cuts to its workforce it is now better aligned for current market conditions and is well positioned to resume its growth.
