Grant Cardone took the stage last night at Partnership Leaders meetup highlighting the importance of partnerships in growing your ventures wihtout OPM (Other People's Money) . Don't raise capital Don't go in debt No IPO No ring kissing It simply isn't sustainable! Instead focus on where the most stable business comes from: Partners! 😉 💡 As we see less VC investments and Government subsidies, tech companies have to get back to basics and long time proven growth systems. That is what partner marketing is. It was a small group and very informative session. Direct, honest and straight to the point style. #b2bmarketing #partnermarketing #channelmarketing #10x

I'm excited about this program because so much value comes from refining the investor pitch. You learn how to sell your vision. You learn how to make a complex story easy to consume. You learn that not everyone sees the world the way you do, and that's okay. You learn if your company is ready to receive Other Peoples Money. You learn what makes investors excited, if you've got it, and if you don't, what you need to do to get it. You learn how you're showing up as a founder -- with confidence? Entitlement? Doubt? I'm most excited because this isn't about competition, it's about helping software founders get better on their journey. Let's make PHX a top software city. #phx #founders #capital #pitch #saas
