What are the most effective strategies for building strong partnerships based on a partner value proposition?
Long-Term Commitment: One of my biggest learnings in venture capital is long-term commitment. Focus on building a long-term relationship rather than seeking short-term gains. Leverage Each Other's Networks: Utilize each other’s networks for broader market reach and resource access. This can lead to new opportunities and enhanced capabilities.
