For B2B Technology Companies

Your platform relationships should be your fastest-growing channel. Most are not.

The platforms your company is built on, distributed through and competing against are reorganizing around AI. Listed, partnered, co-branded but pipeline is not materializing the way the plan said it would. Align Growth Global (AGG) is built to close that gap.

What You May Not Be Seeing Yet

High-performing teams have new blindspots in the AI era.

Most of the companies AGG works with are doing well. What brings them here is not failure, it is the recognition that the platform landscape is reorganising fast and that proactive positioning now is what separates the companies that come out stronger from the ones that find out too late.

Blindspot 01
The platform you depend on is building into your category

While it may not be seen as a threat today, AI roadmaps are moving into vertical products fast. Understanding whether or not this may be an opportunity or a disruption depends on where you sit in the stack. Alignment of products to platforms is critical to avoid absorption.

Blindspot 02
Your co-sell motion may be generating less than you think

The listing, the agreement, the badge - none of those mean the platform's field team is actively routing deals. The difference between a cosmetic partnership and a real co-sell motion is specific and diagnosable. Most companies do not know which one they have.

Blindspot 03
The AI transition is changing what your buyers expect

Messaging and positioning that worked eighteen months ago may be misfiring now, not because the product changed, but because the buyer's experience and expectations did. Agents are being used more frequently and if you haven't moved to the new GTM paradigm your customers may pass you by.

Blindspot 04
Your ecosystem is an asset you have not fully activated
Developer community, partner program, platform relationships - these create structural distribution advantage when they are built correctly. Most companies have more leverage here than they are using. The ones that activate it early create switching costs the platform cannot easily replicate.
“We don’t advise on ecosystems, we’ve built them - in fact the world's most impactful technology ecosystems. We don’t consult on partner programs and platforms, we’ve run them at global scale. That operational experience is what makes AGG practical, not theoretical.”
Mike Werner, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Align Growth Global
Why AGG

We have done this work. From the inside. At scale.

AGG's founding team built and ran the programmes most companies hire consultants to explain. That inside experience is what makes the diagnostic specific rather than directional.

For Founders & CEOs

The platform relationship exists. The revenue is not following.

You have built the partnership, secured the badge, and invested in the relationship. But the pipeline multiplier the thesis promised has not materialised. AGG diagnoses precisely where the motion is cosmetic and what the specific move is to make it real before the platform roadmap makes the decision for you.

The platform roadmap is moving toward your category

The signs are already in the announcements and product conversations. Your position is either a tailwind or headwind. Platform verticalization is a meaningful impact. AGG shows you which one and what to do before the roadmap makes the call for you.

Direct sales close deals. The platform channel is not adding the multiplier.

The co-sell motion exists on paper. The field team is not routing deals your way. The difference between a real platform channel and a cosmetic one is diagnosable and fixable, but only if you know which one you have and what specifically needs to change.

Your product position in the platform stack is either an asset or a liability

AI roadmap moves are redefining where independent products own a category and where they get absorbed. Most CEOs don't get a clear read on which side they're on until the platform has already moved. AGG maps that position before it shows up in the numbers.

For Revenue & Marketing Leaders · CRO · CMO · VP Sales

Go-to-market is working. The platform channel is not adding the multiplier it should.

Direct sales close deals. The platform relationship generates a badge, a listing, and occasional referrals. The co-sell motion that was supposed to transform your pipeline has not. AGG rebuilds go-to-market, sales, and marketing as an integrated system aligned to the platform relationships that are actually generating revenue.

Co-sell attribution is real or it is not, most teams do not know which

The CRM shows co-sell influenced pipeline. The field team tells a different story. AGG diagnoses where the attribution is real, where it is cosmetic, and what it takes to make the platform channel a measurable, growing part of the revenue model.

Marketing built for direct buyers does not work for platform-distributed buyers

AGG rebuilds marketing around the co-sell relationship — content that enables platform field teams, demand programs that reinforce the co-sell motion, and attribution that makes the platform channel visible and defensible to your board.

Field alignment is where co-sell either works or doesn't

The sales, program, and campaign teams inside major platforms route deals to companies they know, trust, and have been trained on. Most co-sell relationships never earn that level of visibility. AGG builds the internal relationships and field alignment inside the platforms that turns a listing into an active, recurring pipeline source.

How it works

Diagnosis first. Execution from a clear position.

We do the diagnosis. We design the strategy. We execute the work. And we measure it against outcomes, not deliverables.

01
Platform Position Diagnostic

Stack position, platform relationship, vertical roadmap exposure. One specific classification and a concrete action list, not a framework document.

02
Go-to-Market and Ecosystem Audit

Where platform relationships generate real pipeline and where they are cosmetic. Gap analysis and a prioritized roadmap for what changes first.

03
Strategy & Commercial Model

Platform strategy, go-to-market motion, and commercial model built specifically for where this company actually sits, not where it would like to be.

04
Execution & Acceleration

AGG works alongside the team across ecosystem development, go-to-market, and revenue operations. We do the work, not a slide deck about the work.

What We Build Together

Platform intelligence applied.
Go-to-Market accelerated. Ecosystem scaled.

AGG brings the operator experience to build what B2B technology companies need most — product integrated into platform roadmaps, co-sell motions that generate real pipeline, ecosystems that create defensible distribution, and revenue operations aligned to the platform motion.

Product & Platform
Integrated into the right platforms

Product integrated into platform roadmaps, vertical ecosystems, and partner programs. From co-development to 'Build-Into' positioning with platform product management teams.

Go-to-Market & Growth
GTM motion rebuilt for the platform era

Co-sell motions designed, field teams aligned, marketing and growth teams coordinated around a platform channel that generates measurable, attributable pipeline.

Ecosystem & Community
Ecosystems that scale over time

Partner programs launched, developer communities built, and ecosystem relationships established that create distribution and defensibility the platform cannot easily absorb.

Operations & Revenue
Revenue operations aligned to the motion

Pricing, commercial model, CRM, and RevOps aligned to platform-led growth so the motion is measurable, the attribution is real, and the team is pulling in the same direction.

Start with a platform position diagnostic

Your platform relationships should be generating real pipeline. If not, that is exactly what AGG is built for.

The AGG Platform Intelligence Framework diagnostic shows where your platform position is strong, where it is exposed, and the exact moves to make based on ecosystem position, not assumptions.
