Software product builder Devin Walker and marketing and entrepreneurship expert Matt Cromwell are co-founders of GiveWP, a platform that helps non-profits and individuals collect donations from their websites. They're also an example of when tech-oriented and marketing-savvy partnerships lead to hugely successful startups. 

Struggling with the challenges of growing GiveWP by himself, Devin realized it was time to bring a partner on board. By combining Matt's marketing and business acumen with Devin's tech know-how, the company has raised over $250,000,000 in donations since 2015. Matt and Devin recently passed GiveWP into the safe hands of hosting company Liquid Web, where they both serve as general managers of multiple product brands.

Entrepreneurs are often faced with the dilemma of whether forging a partnership is the best move for their business. In this episode, Matt and Devin discuss how effective partnerships between technical founders and marketers can fast-track the process of growing successful startups.
