Unlock YOUR Share
of $380Bn Commits with Cloud Marketplaces

Hyperscalers have accumulated $380 billions of committed spend 💰 from their customers - spend that could be directed to buying your software and services. Let me explain. While many enterprises grapple with a cash crunch, they still have to honor multi-year commitments to their cloud providers to maintain their discounts.

Here's the trick: if they buy your SaaS via AWS or Microsoft Cloud or Google Cloud marketplace, their spend goes towards these commitments.

💳 Effectively, they're purchasing your product with pre-allocated cloud funds. It's a quick win for everyone involved, accelerating procurement timelines from months to days.

10 out of 10, I recommend the Cloud GTM Leadership Course to anyone looking to level up. While hyperscalers continue to broaden the scope of marketplaces to be more inclusive to different types of partners, it’s great to have a supportive community like this that you can bounce ideas off of and validate what’s working/what’s not.

$0 to $200K in revenue + 7M pipeline in 8 weeks: cracking the code of cloud marketplaces

"The more you lean in, the more they [hyperscalers] lean back with you," says James King, who recently launched on cloud marketplaces. The results are impressive.

But here's the twist: James' initial pitch to launch on marketplaces was shot down by his board. Why? Lack of concrete data and a clear business case.

This is where expert knowledge and the community become your superpower. James credited our experts and community support for his success.

What our 100+ Alumni are saying ...

Cloud marketplaces are complex and continually changing. This course offers a wide variety of speakers and topics to address this complexity and specifically create strategies to drive value for your company’s partnership, no matter how large or small. 

Due to these continuous changes and complexities, I don’t believe you can ever become a “Cloud GTM Expert”, but this course certainly gets you closer.

The concept of "marketplace maturity" has significantly influenced my approach to marketplace strategy. 
Additionally, the hyperscaler activation strategy has been invaluable. By addressing questions such as "What aspects to consider" and "KPIs to monitor," we've been able to effectively guide our GTM strategy through various stages, from market alignment to transaction support and scaling.

Cloud GTM Leader course was quite valuable for me. 
Several experts repeated roughly the same handful of best practices for success, while adding their own valuable POV and experiences which are quite valuable when developing a strategy for this space. Many ISV leaders are currently charting their course for this significant shift, and the value of learning - even for this long-time channel veteran was both validating and insightful as we enter into yet another sea change in the partner ecosystem.

This course is 100% essential for anyone starting on this journey. Even for those who are already there, they should take this course. I wish I’d been able to do this a year ago - it’d have saved me a lot of stress and given me a much clearer direction. Also there is a whole community that has been accessed, which is absolutely priceless.

Luckily I found a series of sessions about cloud providers go-to-market that not only helps navigating the world of 🚀 hyperscalers marketplaces but also provides useful tips for anyone that is building or expanding a partner ecosystem.

Cloud GTM Leader course has reassured me that many people face the same challenges and given me a ton of content to take advantage of the marketplaces.
Our key insight is that the marketplace alone isn't enough for driving sales – you need to combine it with a sales and marketing. In hindsight, we were naïve to think that if we built it and put it on the marketplace, they would come and buy it.
