Is Partnerships a separate plan? +
No. Partnerships is part of the Advanced (GTM) plan at £250 a month or £2,500 a year, with Marketing, Sales and Customer Success.
When should I start partnerships? +

A Talent Architect (HR Volunteer) to run recruitment, then a Head of Partnerships or Partnership Manager to lead.
