Partner Ecosystem Sizing Calculator
Run your partner algebra. Work backwards from a revenue target to the pipeline, the number of activated partners, and the recruiting targets you need to size your ecosystem — and your team.
Your assumptions
Aggregate, or per territory / segment.
Partner-deal-specific if known, otherwise your general company close rate.
Partner-deal-specific if known, otherwise general company ACV.
Per year, for a fully activated and performing partner.
Of the partners you recruit, the share who actually activate and perform.
Optional — subtract partners you already have activated and performing.

The narrative
To obtain $1,000,000 in booked revenue for this program, territory, or segment, you need to activate 14 partners. To have 14 activated partners, you need to be recruiting 54 targets who fit your IPP.
** This does not factor in the latency from recruitment to activation and pipeline production, or the deal sales cycle. Accounting for ramp, your real recruiting target is likely higher.
