Some other use cases for startups
Here are some of the common use cases, among the hundreds of different ways of utilizing partnerships for startups.
Validator
Traction can be reverse-engineered by securing more LOIs, and MOUs. The initial customers of an early-stage startup are generally the believers and the supporters, so in a way, they can be partner / collaborators. If they can collect these “validators” all the other potential stakeholders like investors, early employees, early partners, and customers.
Revenue
Partnerships in a sense as door openers to build up sales traction. Incentive others by setting up revenue-generating collaborations directly linked to the startup idea. Startups can learn how to incentivize their partners by creating great ask & offer structures and deals. Finally building a systematic approach so it can scale up more easily, and effectively.
Community
Traction can be reverse-engineered by securing more LOIs, and MOUs.
