Use cases for startups
## Some other use cases for startups
Here are some of the common use cases, among the hundreds of different ways of utilizing partnerships for startups.
Validator
Traction can be reverse-engineered by securing more LOIs, and MOUs. The initial customers of an early-stage startup are generally the believers and the supporters, so in a way, they can be partner / collaborators. If they can collect these “validators” all the other potential stakeholders like investors, early employees, early partners, and customers.
Revenue
Partnerships in a sense as door openers to build up sales traction. Incentive others by setting up revenue-generating collaborations directly linked to the startup idea. Startups can learn how to incentivize their partners by creating great ask & offer structures and deals. Finally building a systematic approach so it can scale up more easily, and effectively.
Community
## Generate revenue even from non-converting outbound activities
## Openforco enables you to profit from outbound activities, including even those that don't immediately convert, like searching for content creation partners. The key is our mutual incentive program. The more you seek partnerships, engaging your network and activating ours, the more you earn.
