SaaS platform

Channext is a partner marketing platform for Tech vendors that sell their products through business partners. Channext helps companies such as Cisco, Dell, and Logitech publish their marketing content on their partners‚ marketing channels (like websites and social media). The platform automatically collects and presents partner data in one central dashboard.

‍

Less than 10% of business partners participate in their vendors‚ marketing activities. The vendors that we work with often have thousands of business partners. It's impossible to help each one in their individual marketing efforts. Channext is a platform that allows vendors to help partners do marketing and increase their revenue at scale, says Rick van den Bosch, CEO Channext.

‍

Channext makes the life of business partners easier. Business partners often sell products by dozens of vendors. Channext allows them to manage the marketing activities of all their vendors from a single platform, instead of using a separate tool for each vendor. Using the Channext platform, vendors increase their marketing participation from less than 10% to over 90% on average.

Market leader in Europe and first steps in the United States

Rick van den Bosch: ‚We raised this investment round to establish Channext as the European market leader, and take the first steps in the United States. Our ambition is to grow to 10,000 business partners. We're launching with two vendors in the US this month, and aim to significantly grow that number over the coming 18 months. Jorg van der Heijden, Partner Holland Capital: Partner marketing is on the rise, and Channext is a unique company with a lot of growth potential. We look forward to supporting the team in its next growth phase.
