Deck's Approach to Game-Changing Partnerships

September 12, 2024

We’re on a mission to build seamless, user-permissioned connections for utility data sources.

If you’re in carbon accounting, ESG software, energy management and reporting, energy efficiency planning, credit risk software, or know your customer (KYC) tech, we want to work with you to make this happen.

Deck is looking for partners

Whether you’re building for B2C or B2B, data is your platform’s lifeblood. It streamlines the user experience, unlocks new possibilities, and accelerates adoption.

If you only need to depend on mainstream data sources, you’ll find no shortage of platforms for integrating that data directly into what you’re building.

Alternative data sources don’t have that luxury.

Whether it's utility data, freelancer or government income data you either have to build a data connection from scratch or put the burden on customers to get their own data.

Unless you partner with Deck.

Deck has the expertise and tools to integrate your platform seamlessly with thousands of novel data sources.

Partner with us for a faster and more reliable access to customer energy data, truly automate customers’ data collection processes and go deeper with your reporting. 

Meet our partnership lead

Thinking of partnering with us? Meet the man who’ll be leading the charge: Christian Gray.

Christian is an experienced business development executive, channel sales manager, and partnerships specialist with a tech background, making him uniquely suited to building bridges between Deck and leaders who want to do more with alternative data sources.

He brings consistent execution and the drive to build industry-defining partnerships.

He’s also an avid rock climber, so with him leading partnerships there’s no mountain we can’t climb together.

What matters most in winning partnerships

Too many partnerships are a one-sided affair. That’s not how we do things at Deck. We think every successful partnership has these three elements.

Understanding

Each partnership needs its own unique approach, and that begins with putting in the work to understand a partner’s challenges and goals across sales, customer success, product, and the executive team. We collaborate closely with partners to find growth opportunities, starting with joint customers and early adopters.

Without understanding, there’s no shared vision. Without vision, there is no partnership.

Scale

Partnerships are inherently risky. There’s always the chance you put a huge investment into a new partner only for things to fall through at the last minute.

We’re changing that.

Every Deck partnership is built on a thorough, phased strategy that mitigates risk for everyone. We start with smaller, manageable projects and scale up as we succeed again and again. Trust is built on wins and momentum.

Consistency

An unreliable partner is worse than having no partner at all. We follow through on our promises and execute at every stage of the journey; not just at the beginning when everyone’s trying to impress each other. Regular check-ins, essential resources, and help with implementation all come standard with a Deck partnership.

Ask our current partners

We’ve partnered with Greenly, a carbon accounting platform used by over 2,000 companies, including Tripadvisor, Lacoste, and BIC, to meet ESG requirements and build more sustainable businesses. Together, we are helping minimize the time and effort required by companies to measure their carbon footprint

We’re also partnered with Sation A, a platform that helps the largest clean energy buyers in the U.S. build the right energy projects faster and enables developers to sell their green projects seamlessly. So far, we’ve made it easy for real estate owners to evaluate the energy consumption of their portfolios based on historical data and move them toward the path of greener energy.

Let’s see what we can do together. Reach out about teaming up with us.
