Partnerships & BD

Partners opened. Deals closed.

When you want the deals done and not a hire, we run partnerships and business development for blockchain, digital-asset and web3 companies as an engagement in its own right. We map the partners that matter, open the doors and negotiate the terms, retained or by outcome.

Who this is for

When the next partner decides the next year.

Any one of these is reason enough to talk.

Blockchain, digital-asset and web3 companies whose product depends on an exchange, a venue, a bank or a rail saying yes.
Teams with a strong product and no one whose job is to get it in front of the partners who matter.
Companies entering a new market, where the first three relationships decide the next thirty.
Founders spending their week on partner calls that should be someone else's.
Boards and investors who want a pipeline they can read, not a list of conversations.
What we run

From the first approach to the signature.

Every part of the deal, owned end to end.

Partner mapping

The partners that actually move the business, ranked, with the route to each one.

Exchanges and venues

Listings, integrations and market-structure conversations, from first contact to go-live.

Banks, rails and platforms

Banking, payment and platform relationships, opened and managed through to signature.

Enterprise and institutional buyers

The introductions and the long sales cycle behind them, run properly.

Commercial terms

Negotiated at the table: pricing, exclusivity, revenue share and the clauses that bite later.

Pipeline and reporting

A pipeline your board can read, with stage, owner and next step, updated every week.

How it works

Diagnose, lead, execute, integrate.

The same four stages as every Clarimer engagement, applied to the deals.

Diagnose
Map the market

A written map of the partners that matter, who is reachable and in what order.

Lead
Open the doors

We make the approach, in our name and yours, and get to the person who can say yes.

Execute
Close the deals

We run each conversation to terms, negotiate them and get them signed, with you in the room when it counts.

Integrate
Hand over the relationships

Signed partners handed to your team with the relationship intact, or we keep running them.

Exchanges & venues
Platforms & networks
Enterprise & institutional buyers
Banks & payment providers
Investors & funds
Commercial model

Retained, by outcome, or both.

The structure depends on how many partners are in scope and how specific the targets are.

Retained

A monthly fee for a defined partner set and a weekly cadence. Suits a broad pipeline.

By outcome

A fee tied to agreements signed. Suits a short list of named targets.

Blended

A lower retainer with a success component. The most common answer.

What it is not

Few partners, worked properly.

This engagement works because of what it leaves out.

Not lead generation

No lists, no sequences, no volume. A small number of partners that matter, each one worked to a decision.

Not an introduction service

An introduction is the start. We stay through the terms, the integration and the launch.

Not a fractional CBDO

If you need the whole commercial function owned, that is the fractional CBDO role. This is the deals.

Where we work

Broad on sector, deep where it counts.

Blockchain, digital assets & web3

Tokens, listings, market structure and the partnerships a launch depends on, for crypto, web3 and digital-asset businesses.

Technology

Software, infrastructure and security platforms. Go-to-market, product and operating leadership, grounded in decades of enterprise technology.

Fintech & payments

Product direction, partners and commercial model, where the product touches digital assets, rails or infrastructure.

We work across sectors, and go deepest where digital assets, infrastructure, regulation and partnerships shape the result.
