Sound familiar?

You know collaboration is good for your business. You just can't figure out who to pitch.

You've heard it enough times — find partners, cross-promote, do a collab. So you try. You brainstorm a list of people, send a few DMs, get one or two non-responses, and end up back where you started. Wondering if you're approaching the wrong people, or asking for the wrong thing.

The problem isn't that you're bad at collaboration. It's that finding the right partner — someone who shares your audience without competing with you — takes more research than most people are willing to do. So you either pitch random people and get ignored, or you skip it altogether and keep relying only on your own reach.

The Collab Compass does the matching for you. Tell it who you are and who you serve — walk away with a shortlist and exactly how to pitch each one.

The right collab puts you in front of a warm audience that already wants what you offer. The Collab Compass finds those people — and tells you how to open the door.

How it works

Three inputs. One shortlist. Zero cold outreach guessing.

No research rabbit holes. No brainstorming sessions. Just your inputs and a partner list built specifically for your audience and your offer.

01

Tell it who you are

Select your type of work — coaching, design, copywriting, tech, courses, and more. Then select your audience — coaches, course creators, online service providers, entrepreneurs.

02

Choose your match count

Decide how many partners you want to see — Top 5, 8, or 10. Start with 5 if you want to go deep on a smaller list. Go 10 if you're building a full outreach pipeline.

03

Get your shortlist instantly

Your partner matches appear immediately — each one with a collab format recommendation and the reason the match makes sense. Download and start pitching.

What's inside

Four outputs. Your pitches, ready to go.

Your shortlist generates the moment you finish the inputs. Every match comes with everything you need to reach out with confidence.

Output 01
Your Partner Shortlist
Aligned businesses that share your audience but serve it a different way — not random names, but matches built around who you are and who you help.
Output 02
Best Collab to Lead With
For each match, the specific format most likely to get a yes — podcast swap, newsletter feature, bundle, summit stage, or warm intro. No guessing required.
Output 03
Why It's a Match
A quick note on the audience overlap that makes the partnership worth pitching — so you can reference it in your actual outreach message.
Output 04
Pitch Strategy
The lowest-friction approach for opening the conversation with each partner type — so you lead with something they're actually inclined to say yes to.

Is this for me?

Right partner. Right pitch. Right now.

The Collab Compass is for service providers and creators who are ready to grow their reach through purposeful partnerships — not random visibility grabs.

This is for you if…

  • You know your audience well and want to get in front of more of them
  • You've tried collaboration before but kept pitching the wrong people
  • You want to grow your reach without more ad spend or content volume
  • You're ready to do outreach but need a focused, strategic list
  • You want to lead with the right ask — not just "let's collab somehow"

Come back when…

  • You're still figuring out who your audience is — the tool works best when you're clear on who you serve
  • You're looking for someone to do the outreach for you (this gives you the list and the strategy; you make the ask)
  • You're not ready to follow through — a shortlist only helps if you actually send the pitch

The Collab Compass — Part 3

Common questions

Is this a subscription?
No. One-time purchase, permanent access. Run it whenever you're ready to build a new round of partnerships — your shortlist will always be there to generate.
How are the matches generated?
The tool uses your work type and audience selection to identify complementary businesses — ones that serve the same people you do, but in a different way. The goal is audience overlap without direct competition.
What if I don't see matches that feel right?
Try adjusting your inputs. Shifting your audience category or work type slightly can surface a different set of partners. The results are only as specific as the inputs — be as precise as you can about who you actually serve.
How many matches will I get?
Your choice — 5, 8, or 10. Start with 5 if you want to go deep on a smaller list and actually follow through. Choose 10 if you're building a full outreach pipeline.
What's the point of naming the collab format?
Because the format is everything. A podcast swap has a completely different pitch than a bundle deal or a summit feature. Knowing which format is the lowest-friction yes for a specific partner means you lead with something they're inclined to say yes to — not just "hey, want to collab?"
Can I save my shortlist?
Yes — download as PDF or PNG before closing. Nothing is stored automatically, so saving your results is how you keep them.

Stop waiting for visibility to happen. Go find it.

Two minutes. A shortlist of real partners. A pitch strategy for each one. That’s it.
