Our work is grounded in deep AWS ecosystem experience — the credentials we hold, the partners we've helped grow, and the referral relationships we've built with people who know what good AWS partnership advisory looks like. This page covers all three.
These aren't vanity badges. Each credential represents a specific validation from AWS that we hold the expertise, the program standing, and the ecosystem relationships to deliver on our services.
Active member of the AWS Partner Network — the foundation of our ecosystem standing and the basis through which we access co-sell tools, program resources, and field relationships on behalf of our clients.

What the FTR means for ISVs →Enrolled in the AWS ISV Accelerate Program — the co-sell program that connects ISVs with AWS account executives, PSMs, and field teams. This is the program we help our ISV clients enroll in and activate.
Latest ISV Accelerate benefits →Our AWS Partner standing is the foundation of everything we do. It gives us direct access to the co-sell tools, field relationships, and program resources that we use every day on behalf of our clients.
We work with a select group of AWS partners at any given time. Here's what they say about working with us.
We'd been at Select tier for almost two years. We knew we were close but couldn't figure out what was actually blocking us. Grnmrk audited our partner profile, identified three specific gaps we'd completely overlooked, and had us at Advanced in under four months. The PDM relationship they built for us in the process has been worth as much as the tier itself.
I hired Grnmrk because I was tired of leaving MAP funding on the table. We had active migration engagements and no idea the money was sitting there. They rebuilt our ACE pipeline from scratch, submitted three MAP applications, and we captured over $150K in the first quarter. That more than covered their fees for the year.
Anonymized results from real engagements. We don't publish client names without permission, but the outcomes are real.
An early-stage ISV with active migration engagements had never submitted a MAP application. We audited their pipeline, built the ACE opportunities correctly, submitted three MAP applications across active customer engagements, and managed proof of execution on all three.
An MSP that had been stuck at Select tier for over 18 months. We audited their partner profile, identified the specific gaps holding them back — certification drift, unsubmitted customer references, and stale ACE pipeline — and executed a 90-day advancement plan.
An Advanced-tier ISV with no repeatable co-sell motion — every AWS field engagement started from scratch. We designed the co-sell playbook, built out ACE submission standards, facilitated PDM introductions, and ran the first three co-sell cycles alongside their team.
We're documenting additional client outcomes across FTR completion, ISV Accelerate activation, MDF capture, and Marketplace GTM. Check back as we add more.
We work with a small number of partners at any given time, which means referrals matter. If you know an ISV, MSP, or channel partner who's struggling with their AWS program — tier advancement, funding, co-sell, FTR — we want to talk to them.
For every referred partner who becomes a client, we pay a referral fee and keep you in the loop on the engagement. Simple, transparent, no strings.
You see which partners are underperforming in their program. We fix that. Partners you refer to us show up better in ACE and in co-sell conversations.
If you have portfolio companies building on AWS, their partner program standing directly affects their go-to-market velocity. We get them moving faster.
If your clients need AWS partner advisory that's outside your core practice, we're a clean referral. We don't compete on implementation work.
If you know someone who just took an alliances role and is building the AWS program from scratch, that's exactly who we help. Send them our way.
We pay a referral fee for every partner you introduce who becomes a paying client. Fee structure shared on request — reach out to hello@grnmrk.com to discuss.
Every referred partner gets a complimentary strategy call — we assess their current partner standing and tell them exactly where the gaps are, whether they work with us or not.
Either email hello@grnmrk.com with the partner's name and context, or make a direct email introduction. We'll take it from there and keep you in the loop.
Your reputation is on the line when you refer someone. We take that seriously — every referral gets a prompt response, a thoughtful assessment, and honest advice regardless of whether there's a fit.
Ready to refer a partner? Email hello@grnmrk.com with their name, company, and a one-line description of their AWS situation. We'll follow up within one business day.
Whether you're an AWS partner looking for advisory support or someone with a referral, we're easy to reach. Start with a 30-minute call — no commitment required.
