COLLABORATE TO GROW-Webinar: Finding the right strategic partner can make all the difference for a start-up. You may need a co-creator who owns key technologies to make your product work. Maybe you need R&D muscle. You could gain access to someone else’s distribution network or sales force. You might even find point-of-sale owners who will work closely with you.
