Our experts have driven revenue at
You Have the Program.
You're Missing the Revenue.
Most technology companies have the infrastructure — tiers, portals, MDF budgets, co-sell badges. What's missing is the senior operator who knows how to turn that infrastructure into closed ARR.
Flat Co-Sell Pipeline
Your AWS, Azure, or GCP badge is active and your marketplace listings are live — but hyperscaler co-sell isn't generating pipeline and no one internally knows how to fix it.
Program Spend. No Pull-Through.
You've built the tiers, funded the MDF, and launched the incentive structure — but partner attach is low, resellers aren't sourcing deals, and channel ARR is flatlining.
Alliance Strategy ≠ Quota
Regional teams operate in silos, global partner strategy never translates into local pipeline, and partner attribution lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
No Executive Bandwidth to Own It
Leadership knows the partner opportunity is real, but no one in the org has the relationships, experience, or bandwidth to operate it at the executive level and move ARR.
The Difference Between
an Alliance Program and an ARR Engine
Most partner advisors hand you a framework and a deck. Optimus hands you a named operator, embedded in your org, with the hyperscaler field relationships and channel architecture experience to turn your partner program into a quota-contributing revenue motion — fast.
-
Operators, Not Advisors Every engagement is led by a practitioner who has built alliance programs from the inside at Microsoft, AWS, VMware, Cisco, and Avaya — people who know how hyperscaler field teams actually allocate co-sell resources.
-
Data-First. Outcome-Driven. Execution-Focused. No vanity metrics, no certification theater. Every engagement is scoped to attributed pipeline, deal registration velocity, and closed ARR — measured against your quota, reported to your board.
-
Fortune 100 to High-Growth SaaS — We've Done Both Our clients range from global tech enterprises navigating complex multi-cloud ecosystems to Series B SaaS companies building their first channel motion. The playbook adapts. The discipline doesn't.
-
$185M+ in Partner-Sourced ARR. No Estimates. Every dollar in that number is attributed, co-sell registered, or channel-closed. We don't count influenced pipeline as revenue. Your board doesn't either.
Ready when you are
Your next $10M in partner ARR starts with a 30-minute call.
No pitch deck. No long procurement cycle. Just a direct conversation with a senior Optimus operator about what's blocking your channel revenue — and what we'd do about it.

What Senior Revenue Leaders Say After Working With Optimus
We had co-sell badges with AWS and Azure for two years and couldn’t tell you a single deal that came from them. Within 90 days of Optimus embedding, we had three active co-sell opportunities and a clear line to $4M in pipeline. That is what ‘operational’ means.
My board asked me to justify our partner program spend. Before Optimus, I couldn’t. After six months, I had a slide showing $6.2M in closed ARR directly attributed to partner co-sell motions. That slide ended the conversation.
I’ve hired three VP-level alliance managers in five years. Each one took 12 months to become effective and left within 24. Optimus gave me a team of 33 on day one. I won’t go back to the old model.
Omer and the Optimus team helped us fundamentally uplevel our engagement with Microsoft and Amazon. They secured an additional $2.1M in Strategic Collaboration Agreements — commitments we simply didn’t have the relationships or playbook to unlock on our own. What also stood out was how seamlessly they transitioned everything back to our team. No knowledge gaps, no drop in momentum.
How the Partner Revenue Funnel Works
Every dollar of partner-sourced ARR flows through a structured ecosystem. Optimus activates each stage — from partner recruitment to closed revenue attribution.
Recruit & Tier the Right Partners
We identify, recruit, and onboard ISVs, CSPs, MSPs, GSIs, Hyperscalers, Cybersecurity vendors, and Distribution partners that align with your ICP — building a tiered program with real incentive pull-through from day one.
Activate Co-Sell & Channel Motions
We embed inside your channel team to activate hyperscaler co-sell (AWS, Azure, GCP), align resellers and VARs to quota-carrying deals, and drive MDF-funded pipeline through your Provider and SI network.
Convert Pipeline to Attributed ARR
We implement deal registration discipline, partner attach tracking, and co-sell attribution so every dollar of partner-influenced revenue is visible, measurable, and reportable to your board.
Retain & Compound Partner Revenue
Partner-sourced ARR only compounds if partners stay engaged. We build the RoB, QBR cadence, and retention systems that prevent churn and grow renewal revenue through your channel — year over year.
$500M+ in Partner & Channel Investments.
850,000 Partners Competing for It.
Only the Top 2% See Their Share.
Microsoft alone has over 850,000 partners in its ecosystem. AWS and Google collectively manage hundreds of thousands more. These platforms deploy billions of dollars annually in co-investment, co-sell incentives, MDF, marketplace credits, and joint GTM funding — but the overwhelming majority flows to the top tier. The partners who win aren’t the biggest. They’re the best-positioned. Optimus gets you there.
Where the Capital Sits — Market-Wide
These are the funding pools hyperscalers and technology vendors deploy across the entire channel, every year. They are industry-wide figures — not Optimus revenue and not money Optimus controls. The question is how much of it your company is currently claiming.
AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud deploy billions annually through co-sell programs, marketplace incentives, migration credits, and partner development funds — accessible only to partners who know the internal motion.
Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, and others run massive MSSP, reseller, and ISV partner programs with deal registration bonuses, co-sell overlays, and joint GTM investment that most partners leave on the table.
Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Salesforce Einstein partner ecosystems are actively funding ISV build-outs, co-sell overlays, and go-to-market acceleration for partners who can demonstrate AI-attached revenue.
The Salesforce AppExchange and partner program funds ISV co-builds, SI referral programs, and consulting partner overlays — with direct path-to-market through Salesforce AE co-sell if you know how to activate the relationship.
Arrow, Ingram Micro, TD Synnex, and other distributors run vendor-funded incentive programs, solution center investments, and reseller enablement funds that flow only to vendors with structured, performing channel programs.
Hyperscalers and major tech vendors run structured funding programs that most partners never fully activate. Optimus navigates every tier — from scoping incentives through full co-investment — on your behalf.
- Greenfield Co-Investment: Build new practices in AI & migration with vendor co-investment, typically $50K–$250K per initiative.
- Customer Engagement Incentive (CEI): ~$1K for scoping, ~$5K at launch for new customer acquisitions — per qualified deal.
- Proof-of-Concept Funding: Up to $25K per customer PoC to de-risk deals and accelerate decisions.
- Partner Multiplier Effect: For every $1 of hyperscaler technology sold, partners can generate up to $7+ in attached services revenue.
What We Have Actually Unlocked for Clients
Drawn from the pools above — funded, approved, and activated capital delivered to Optimus clients. This figure is ours.
Optimus has directly secured over $21.3M in strategic investments for our clients from hyperscalers and technology giants — not in promises or program registrations, but in funded, approved, and activated capital.
Our 33 experts are current and former insiders at the platforms and programs above. They know the program managers by name. They know which funding cycles open when. They know the fastest path from application to approved.
We’ve Already Landed This for Clients
These are real outcomes secured by Optimus experts on behalf of technology companies — not case studies we wrote, programs we designed, or certifications we earned. Results we delivered.
Secured at Microsoft across 24 countries — including co-sell commitments, PDFs, and joint GTM investment from Microsoft field teams aligned to our clients’ pipeline.
Built and activated AWS co-sell motions for clients with flat marketplace pipelines — moving from zero co-sell activity to qualified partner-sourced deals within 90 days.
Structured channel programs through Arrow, Ingram Micro, and TD Synnex that unlocked vendor MDF pools, reseller rebates, and solution center funding previously unavailable to our clients.
Expanded a single-region partner program across 11 new international theaters — each with locally compliant incentive structures, in-market distributor relationships, and hyperscaler co-sell alignment.
How Much of This $500M+ Partner Investment
Is Your Company Actually Claiming?
Microsoft, AWS, and Google have 850,000+ combined partners. They deploy billions in co-sell funding, MDF, migration credits, and joint GTM investment every year. But without a dedicated alliance manager with real insider access, most of that money flows to someone else.
The top 2% of partners don’t win because they have better products. They win because they have people who know the program managers by name, understand which funding cycles open when, and know exactly how to position for prioritized co-sell field time. That is precisely what Optimus brings to every engagement.
When you help Microsoft, AWS, or Google grow their ecosystem — they invest back into you. The question is whether you have someone who knows how to collect.
Claim Your Share →Where Partner Strategy Becomes
Closed Revenue.
Optimus deploys senior ecosystem operators across every lever of your partner motion — from hyperscaler co-sell architecture to distribution channel pull-through. Six practice areas. One outcome: partner-sourced ARR on your board slide.
Structured Like a Consultancy.
Executed Like an Operator.
Every practice area maps to a measurable revenue outcome. We don't deliver frameworks — we take ownership of the motion, the relationships, and the pipeline number.
Partner Program Design & Transformation
Architect or rebuild your full program structure — tiers, incentive architecture, MDF governance, and RoB cadences aligned to quota. We design programs that give every partner tier a clear, auditable path to revenue contribution, not activity credit.
AI-Powered Partner Identification & Scoring
Proprietary AI scoring surfaces the top 20% of partners generating 80% of your pipeline potential. We rationalize your partner ecosystem — eliminating long-tail distraction and concentrating your team's capacity on the accounts most likely to close with support.
Hyperscaler Co-Sell & Cloud GTM Strategy
Navigate the AWS, Azure, and GCP partner ecosystems with precision. We build co-sell motions engineered to convert marketplace listings into co-funded pipeline, unlock committed cloud spend credits, and align hyperscaler field teams to your quota — at the deal level, not just in the portal.
Channel GTM Operations & RoB Optimization
Design the operational cadence that keeps partner revenue compounding quarter over quarter. We establish QBR discipline, co-sell RoB, deal registration accountability, and MDF ROI tracking — transforming chaotic partner activity into a predictable, board-reportable revenue motion across your distributor and reseller network.
Fractional Chief Partner Officer
A named senior operator embeds as your CPO or VP of Alliances — owning the board-level partner strategy, managing your hyperscaler relationships in-person, attending QBRs, and delivering the quarterly pipeline narrative your CRO needs to defend partner investment.

Global Market Entry & GTM Expansion
Enter new theaters with relationships already in place — EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and MEA. We bring pre-built regional distributor networks, in-country hyperscaler field alignment, and the cultural GTM adaptation expertise that most companies spend three to five years trying to develop from scratch.

Average shelf life of an alliance manager.
By the time they understand your partner stack, hyperscaler relationships, and channel architecture — they're already looking for the next role. Most partnerships fail not because the strategy is wrong, but because no single person can cover the breadth of segments, programs, and geographies required to execute it.

Outbound is broken.
Pipeline is still the job.
From solo founders to 1,000-person revenue teams — outbound eats your time. Inboxes are crowded, deliverability is punishing, and generic templates do not earn a reply.
- Founders lose 15+ hrs/week on prospecting instead of closing.
- <1% reply rates on generic sequences — any team size.
- Hiring an SDR costs $100K+/yr and takes 6–9 months to ramp.

Cold email math is unforgiving. Volume is the moat — and almost nobody can hit it. Small datasets tell you what might work. Our scale tells us what does.
- Low volume, weak copy, fragile systems. In-house stacks rely on a single domain, unmonitored deliverability, and generic templates.
- Agencies cap out at their own infrastructure. No domain network, no warm-up pipeline, no reply routing at scale.
- At <1% reply rates, volume is the only variable that moves pipeline. You can’t A/B test what you never sent.
