For AWS partners
"I forge it. You close it."
Closed AWS deals: found, shaped, and ready for co-sell.
No login. Smith shows you around, then hands you the controls.
The readiness gap
AWS puts its funding behind net-new consumption: migrations, greenfield, modernization, and GenAI proofs of concept. MAP funds the migration; POC and GenAI PoC funding back the build-and-prove, two equally important doors. A pipeline of expansions and flat renewals leaves that money on the table, because there's no new workload for AWS to get behind.
AWS only approves a co-sell opportunity that carries a customer business problem, a use case, a future close date, and the specific help you need from AWS. A deal sitting in your CRM without them comes back "action required". Co-sell stays one-sided, and you close alone.
AWS wants the opportunity early, once it's qualified, not before there's anything to validate, and not after it's already won. Miss that window and co-sell never engages, however good the deal was.
How Smith works
Three steps from an empty workspace to your first co-sell-ready opportunity. Smith does the heavy lifting; the human stays the closer.
Import your list, or let Smith research AWS-fit targets in your market.
Smith picks the most fundable account, names the AWS play and the funding that fits, finds the right people, and drafts the opener.
Book the meeting and set the next move. Smith joins, writes the brief, drafts the AWS paperwork, and syncs your CRM.
Smith advises, you decide. He drafts; you send. Nothing leaves without you.
The senior work stays human. Smith doesn't take the engagement, he multiplies it, so the rep's hours go where they earn their keep: the conversation, the judgment, the close.

Smith works where you work
Smith is a co-worker, not another tab. Ask him in Slack today, Teams next, with your pipeline synced to your CRM.
Already live in two teams’ Slack today, answering real pipeline questions, not running a demo.

The intelligence layer
Smith is your AWS pipeline co-worker. Alloy is the intelligence layer underneath him: it reads the entire stack a prospect runs, from cloud and data to security, observability, identity, AI and the back office, and turns each vendor into a reason for the right AWS partner to engage. The story isn’t one migration. It’s the whole AWS partner ecosystem: whatever you sell on AWS, the signal is already in Alloy.
→ the migration & modernization partners
→ the data & analytics partners
→ the security & identity partners
→ the monitoring & DevOps partners
→ the CRM, RevOps & commerce partners
→ the CX & contact-center partners
→ the platform & migration partners
→ the GenAI & ML-platform partners
One read of the stack, every partner’s opening, routed to the people who close it.
The AWS reality
AWS engages when an opportunity is already commercially clear, technically credible, and easy to justify internally. That's the bar co-sell was built around, and most never reach it. Smith shapes them so they do: the business case, the AWS service and motion, and the ACE-ready structure your PDM and account team can stand behind.
Co-sell happens when the opportunity is shaped for AWS and delivers a real outcome for the customer.
Outbound creates access. Shape creates engagement.
The accounts AWS will actually fund: net-new, ranked.
Migrate, modernize, greenfield, or the partner play the stack calls for.
MAP, POC, credits: matched to the deal, not guessed.
The right person, the opener drafted, from your inbox.
Then you close.
Proof & team
The human part of the craft is a team of Senior Business Developers with deep experience across tech, cloud, data and AI, who deploy into your AWS motion, open the right doors, and book qualified business opportunities. They speak the customer's technical language, not just the sales script. Smith arms them, they forge the meetings, and your closers take them home.
Founder-led, backed by a decade across enterprise tech, cloud and AI and AWS partner GTM: a Nordic fast-track cloud-migration program, and a partner motion that closed an eight-figure deal. The method behind Smith has already closed real business.
"Forj gave us a way of operating, not just advice. Hitting Advanced Tier in under a year is the visible part; the bigger shift is that we now know how to grow inside the AWS ecosystem on our own terms."Anders Bastos · Co-founder, NovaloFounder · LinkedIn
Two ways to put Smith to work
Same engine either way. What you get is closed AWS deals: found, shaped, and ready for co-sell.
Forj's Senior Business Developers run the commercial readiness, the outreach (phone, email, network, events and LinkedIn), and the advisory, armed with Smith and Alloy. You take the meeting and close.
Discuss an engagementBring Smith and Alloy into your own workspace, with your own customers. The same engine that finds the AWS-fit accounts, names the play and the funding, opens the decision-maker, and shapes the co-sell, run by your team, at your pace.

Five qualified opportunities a month, or we keep working at no extra cost until you have them.
Each one the right stakeholder, a clear need, and the authority to act. At typical AWS partner deal sizes one closed deal covers the engagement, and it's built to be funded by AWS Market Development Funds.
