  4. Empowering the Channel Partner-led GTM motion with Shruti Ghatge of Zomentum

Channel Partner-led GTM is one of the strong pieces in SaaS
customer acquisition. Unlike the digital marketing and sales
driven customer acquisition, this mode is under leveraged. 


Find out how Shruti Ghatge (Co-founder & CEO, Zomentum) and
her team is flipping Partner Relationship Management, and adding
more power to the Channel Partner-led GTM with Zomentum.


Zomentum's end-to-end Revenue Platform enables both Channel
Partners and SaaS vendors to earn, grow, and manage revenue
quickly and cost-effectively. From finding Partner customers on
Reddit forums in its early days, Zomentum has grown into a
company with almost 3500 partners. In 2021, they raised $13
Million in Series A funding. 


Shruti speaks to us about Zomentum’s founding philosophy,
navigating early product market fit challenges, some very
interesting ‘guerrilla research tactics’ like eavesdropping on
office conversations, meeting geeky customers on Reddit forums,
and requesting Partner customers if they could work from their
offices,  and how her experience as a VC investment analyst
came as a leverage.


Tune in for an entertaining and unusual conversation.
