3 New Partner Deals: StrataCore, Bridgepointe, InflowCX

  • Written by James Anderson
  • January 13, 2023
An exclusive distribution deal, a partner equity recognition and a full-blooded CX acquisition.

Financial deals, including an exclusive partnership involving Seattle-based StrataCore, continue to heat up in the channel.

Sources in the technology advisory channel indicate that M&A will increase in 2023, despite the rapid pace of partner consolidation in 2022. A growing number of financial options exist for agents looking to sell their business, from Upstack to Bluewave to One Source to now Amplix. Most are leveraging private equity investments to fuel their deals.

The stories above involve three different parties. Two of them do not technically entail an acquisition, but the announcements do involve money and exclusivity.

AppSmart added StrataCore to its Invest program. Bridgepointe gave equity status to a record-setting partner. And in a peripherally related category, consulting and professional services provider Inflow CX deepened its portfolio with an acquisition.

Read about the deals in the images above.
