Get bundled into the startup perk stacks
Place an exclusive deal in the perk bundles your buyers browse — accelerator perk pages, founder deal directories, or a bundle you assemble with adjacent tools. Early-stage buyers pick their stack from these lists, the placement outlives any campaign, and the discount only costs you when it converts.

The play
Place an exclusive deal in the perk bundles and deal directories your buyers already browse — accelerator perk lists, "deals for founders" collections — or assemble a bundle with adjacent tools. A generous deal buys distribution at day zero of the stack decision.
Watch out for
- Make the deal genuinely generous — token discounts get skipped and remembered.
- Cap or time-box the offer so the unit economics survive success.

Plays like this one
- Recruit three agencies to sell you into every clientRecruit three agencies or consultancies serving your exact customers as certified partners: train them free, give a referral margin, hand them co-branded materials. Every client engagement they run becomes a distribution event for you — one closed agency compounds into dozens of customer introductions a year.
- Build the small integration; co-launch it loudlyShip the smallest useful integration with the tool your customers most use alongside yours, then co-launch it: a joint announcement, both newsletters, both changelogs, and a listing in the partner’s integrations directory. Each side reaches the other’s audience with built-in relevance — and integrated customers churn less afterward.
- Co-marketing session with an adjacent (non-competing) toolPartner with a non-competing product that serves the same buyers on a joint webinar, co-authored guide, or bundle, with each side promoting to its own audience. Co-marketing exchanges pre-qualified attention at no ad spend and borrows the partner’s credibility — the cleanest way to reach a warm audience you don’t yet own.
- Swap recommendations with a same-size newsletterArrange a recommendation swap with a similar-size newsletter serving your audience: each writes a genuine two-sentence endorsement of the other, published the same week. Readers trust their newsletter’s recommendations far more than ads, the cost is zero, and the mechanic repeats monthly with a new partner for compounding growth.
