Introducing Skematic: 
AI that fast-tracks AWS cloud partnerships for startups

Partnerships are critical for growth, especially in today’s cloud-first world. However, for most software startups, executing on those partnerships—particularly with hyperscale cloud providers—is slow, complex, and resource-intensive.

Skematic is a new AI-powered platform designed to solve that. Founded by enterprise partnership veteran Jessica Alexander, Skematic combines automation, data, and proven best practices to help early-stage software companies operationalize cloud partnerships more quickly and effectively.

Why cloud partnerships are hard

For startups building on AWS, the partner journey can take 12 to 18 months. From technical validation and co-sell onboarding to marketplace listings and revenue tracking, the process is often fragmented across teams, tools, and timelines.

Traditional approaches rely on consultants, spreadsheets, and manual project management—methods that are expensive, slow, and often result in missed milestones, unclear ROI, and stalled momentum.

How Skematic works

Skematic replaces that outdated model with a guided, automated experience:

• Readiness assessment: A quick score that benchmarks your AWS partnership potential
• Live roadmap: Every milestone mapped, with owners, deadlines, and resources
• Automated assets: Co-sell decks, “Better Together” collateral, and battle cards
• Real-time insights: Track progress with leading indicators, not just revenue
• Continuous optimization: Built-in recommendations based on data and partnership stage

This combination of automation and intelligence reduces time-to-partner activation from months to weeks and increases a team’s ability to manage and scale alliances without additional headcount.

Built on a proven framework

Skematic is built on the same principles that powered partnerships at CrowdStrike and Amazon:

1. Hire smart, curious people and give them clarity
2. Build repeatable, cross-functional processes
3. Use technology to drive consistency, transparency, and scale

Startups using Skematic can unlock AWS credits, co-sell programs, and marketplace listings up to 80 percent faster. They can also measure impact earlier by tracking the activities that lead to revenue, not just the revenue itself.

What this means for startups

The cloud ecosystem has never been more important (or more competitive). Reaching the market quickly, aligning with AWS programs, and demonstrating value early can significantly define a startup’s growth trajectory.

Skematic helps startups:

• Shorten onboarding cycles
• Improve collaboration across sales, product, marketing, and finance
• Increase their partnership capacity by 3x without increasing costs

The future of partnerships is intelligent

Partnerships have become a critical engine for scale. Skematic enables that engine by making every step faster, clearer, and more automated.

The platform is now live and launching with early customers. For software companies looking to move fast with AWS, the best time to start is now.

Join the waitlist and stay tuned for more on the product launch later this week.
