THE PARTNERSHIP LAB
You’ve tried building partnerships.
And somewhere, it stalled.
Most founders don't have a partnerships problem. They have a system problem.
The Partnership Lab gives you six weeks of full access to the operating system used to find, close and scale six-figure partnerships. Nine lessons, your pace, with weekly live support from Phil Hayes-St Clair and a wildly supportive community of founders doing the same work.

ROI from one
six-figure partnership
Maybe the conversations started well. There was enthusiasm, a few good meetings, talk of what you could build together. Then it quietly went nowhere.
Or you closed something and it never delivered what you both hoped for. Or you have a list of potential partners you haven't approached because you're not sure how to make the pitch land, how to structure the deal, or whether this partner is even the right one.
You've been told partnerships are the fastest path to growth. An investor said it. An advisor said it. You believe it. But believing it and executing it are two different things, and nobody handed you the system to bridge that gap.
That's not a personal failing. It's a structural one.
Most partnerships stall not because the opportunity wasn't real, but because there was no operating system behind them. No way to qualify the right partners quickly. No framework for building shared intent before a formal meeting. No plan for landing a first win fast enough to create momentum.
The Partnership Lab was built to fix exactly that.
Most partnerships don't fail.
They stall — for the same three reasons.
After building and investing in ten companies where partnerships were the primary growth engine and coaching CEO’s and founders across technology, healthcare and professional services, the pattern is always the same.
01
No qualifying system
Without a clear framework, founders pursue the wrong partners. Conversations go nowhere. Agreements drift.
Time is lost.
02
Vague value exchange
If you can't articulate what you're offering and what you need in one clear sentence, a partner can't champion you internally. The deal dies quietly.
03
No first win by design
Without a planned early milestone, partnerships lose momentum before they gain it. Both sides deprioritise and the opportunity disappears.
WHY PHIL HAYES-ST CLAIR
This isn't theory. It's a system built from 10 companies.
Phil Hayes-St Clair is a serial entrepreneur and CEO who has built and invested in 10 companies. In every one of them, partnerships were the growth engine. Not because he got lucky with introductions, but because he built a repeatable system for finding the right partners, structuring deals that both sides genuinely want, and closing agreements in weeks rather than months.
He has spent years distilling that system into the Partnership Operating System and teaching it to founders and Go-To-Market leaders across technology, life sciences, healthcare, and professional services globally.
The most consistent feedback he receives: "You make partnerships practical and compelling."

The 14-Day Guarantee
9 lessons. 1 operating system. Partnerships that compound.
Six weeks of full access. Move through the nine lessons at your own pace. Each one is short, action-oriented and built around your live deals. Plus weekly live calls with Phil keep you closing partnerships throughout.
PART 1
THE FOUNDATION
Lesson 1.1 - Myth-Busting Partnerships
Understand what successful partnerships actually require. Most fail for avoidable reasons. This lesson shows you which ones and how to sidestep them from the start.
Lesson 1.2 - Day One Diagnostic
Objectively assess where your business stands before you approach a single partner. Clarity here prevents wasted time and misaligned conversations later.
Lesson 1.3 - Clarifying Value Exchange
Rapidly define what you're offering and what you need with enough precision that a partner can repeat it in a hallway conversation. Vague value propositions kill deals before they begin.
PART 2
YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM
Lesson 2.1 - Identifying IDEAL Partners
Use the IDEAL Framework to qualify every partnership opportunity before you invest time in it. Know when to proceed, when to wait, and when to walk away.
Lesson 2.2 - Designing Your Partnership Development Program
Build the inbound and outbound system that brings the right partners to you. Set up your How We Partner webpage. Write outreach that earns a reply.
Lesson 2.3 - Pitching, Closing and Onboarding
Use the Intent Deck to build alignment before any formal agreement is signed. Handle objections with five proven closing tactics. Onboard new partners in a way that sets the standard for everything that follows.
PART 3
REPEATABLE RESULTS
Lesson 3.1 - Landing the First Win
Design the early milestone that proves your partnership is working within the first six months of signing. Build trust, create momentum, and give both sides a reason to go further.
Lesson 3.2 - Scaling Partnerships
Build a repeatable system for growing from one partnership to ten. Attract inbound partners, create a referral network, and make partnership growth part of how your whole organisation operates.
Lesson 3.3 - Winding Up Partnerships with Dignity
Learn how to end partnerships respectfully when the time is right. Done well, a graceful exit protects your reputation, preserves the relationship, and often leads to a stronger partnership down the track.
🤖 7 AI Coaching Assistants
Available around the clock to draft proposals, map value exchanges, prepare for QBRs, and write outreach. What used to take days takes minutes.
🎯 Weekly Value Clinics
Maximum six participants per session. Live deal diagnostics focused on pricing, structuring, and closing applied to your actual partnerships in progress.
📋 Templates and Tools
The IDEAL+ Scorecard, Intent Deck, Partner Outreach Guide, and Partnership Blueprint. Built to share with your team so the capability doesn't live with one person.
💬 Direct Access to Phil
Phil is in the community throughout the week for deal feedback, objection coaching, and the moments when you need a practical second opinion before a critical conversation.
👥 Community Calls
A permanent home in Circle with founders and GTM leaders including alumni. Weekly live calls run continuously so support is always available regardless of where you are in the lessons.
🧩 Alumni Membership
The Alumni program keeps you connected to the Lab’s resources, weekly calls and a network of growth-minded leaders all with direct access to Phil when you need it.

Questions
-
No. Many members join at the beginning. They've been told to pursue partnerships but don't know where to start. Others join with existing partnerships that aren't performing as well as they should. The program is built to serve both.
-
Two to three hours is typical. The modules are 10–15 minutes each (bite-sized and action-oriented) so you move through them at whatever pace suits your schedule. Add one hour for the weekly live clinic or Q&A session. The AI assistants handle the heavy drafting so you spend your time making decisions, not starting from scratch.
-
Most members close their first partnership within weeks of working through the modules. The frameworks are applied to live opportunities from day one, not hypotheticals. The weekly live Value Clinics are specifically designed to unblock deals in progress, so momentum builds quickly regardless of where you are in the curriculum.
-
Yes. The moment you join, all nine lessons, seven AI assistants, and the full community are yours. If you join before May 4 you get a head start. Work through the lessons, meet the community, and arrive at the first clinic already in motion. Your cohort's weekly live clinics begin May 4.
-
The Day One Diagnostic in Module 1 will tell you exactly where you stand and what to address first. Many members discover they were more ready than they thought and a few realise they need to strengthen their operations first. Either outcome saves you significant time.
-
You retain full access to all materials, recordings, and templates for three months. Alumni also continue joining the weekly live calls so the support doesn't stop. You're also invited to join the Partnership Lab Alumni community at $149/month for ongoing peer accountability, deal support, and connections with founders and GTM leaders building strategic partnerships.
