Partner broadcast draft — 2026-04-27
Status: Posted (partial) — Slack MCP delivered to 3 internal #partnership-* threads (2026-04-27). Most other reference channels are Slack Connect–restricted for automation or require the app in-channel; paste the approved copy there manually from your account.
Approved paste (final) — user-approved Q2 broadcast (Lisa mention as <@U0AUAAXHREY> in Slack):
Hey team - wanted to send a quick Q2 update here for visibility as we're doubling down on our partners as a core strength of our business
1/ We're excited to introduce @Lisa Whall as our new Partner Manager. She'll help coordinate partner programs, co-sell follow-up, field motions, and the connective tissue between our team and yours. If there's someone on your side Lisa should know, reply in thread and we'll get the intro moving.
2/ A few market/positioning takeaways we're using as a guide through Q2:
Health and CPG are our bread and butter: health buyers tend to care about risk management and simplifying operational complexity; CPG buyers love us for extracting revenue-generating insights from the noise
Legal and regulated services are emerging verticals: our data-first expertise builds trust before we walk into rooms to implement AI; OpenAI/Anthropic aren't the only winners here
Our value-chain expanded from execution to also strategy/governance: the work that matters most is helping organizations get right what they can't afford to get wrong. This includes AI strategy, data foundation strategy, and data security & governance.
To jump back in with you, we'd love your input on:
What emerging verticals/use cases are showing up since the last we engaged?
Where do you see buyers needing strong data foundations, governed AI, or help migrating off legacy core platforms?
Any upcoming co-sell, event, or content ideas? @Lisa Whall is your champion!
We've briefed Lisa on past & active deals + activations in flight and will let her grab time with relevant folks!

Source: User themes + Brainforge x Partner Deck Q2 2026.pdf (local path; use a shareable link when posting).
Preamble (internal / agent)
- Partner-facing: avoid client names, deal values, and exact internal cost ratios unless cleared.
- Q2 partner deck: host on Drive/Notion and paste one public or partner-safe link in the Slack message; do not link
file://or local paths. - Pattern source: use Amplitude’s “few updates on my end” structure (numbered bullets + clear asks), Propel’s co-marketing handoff style (asset/live + amplification ask), and Polytomic’s clarity when describing concrete product/data impact.
Core message — short (recommended for Slack paste)
Hey team — a few updates on our end as we head into Q2:
- New partner manager: Lisa Whall is now helping us coordinate partner programs, co-sell follow-up, and joint field motions. If there is someone on your side we should connect her with, reply here and we’ll get that intro going.
- Updated Q2 partner deck: We refreshed our partner materials around who Brainforge is, the outcomes we drive, and how we show up in joint accounts. Reply in thread if you want the deck or a quick 15-minute walkthrough.
[TODO: add shareable deck link] - What we’re hearing in market: Health and CPG continue to be the bulk of our work. Health teams tend to care most about risk management and operational complexity; CPG teams tend to split between top-line growth at smaller brands and cost/risk reduction at larger ones. We’re also exploring where this translates in legal, regulated services, and public sector.
- VixulCon takeaway: The strongest theme for us was that AI is becoming less about one-off tools and more about governed workflows people can trust: systems of record still matter, reliability still matters, and accountability does not disappear.
[TODO: replace/add named VixulCon takeaway if you want a specific reference] - Where we want to partner: We’re moving more of our attention from pure execution to governance: helping organizations get right what they can’t afford to get wrong, especially where legacy platforms, Snowflake/ERP ecosystems, auditability, and secure AI workflows are involved.
- Our ask: Curious what you’re seeing in your Q2 field plan. Which verticals, use cases, or customer pain points are showing up most often on your side? If there’s a good co-sell, event, or content angle, Lisa can help route it.
No urgent action needed if this is just useful context — but if anything here overlaps with your pipeline or partner priorities, thread works great.
Core message — long (optional; paste into #partnership-* if you want the full narrative)
Hey team — wanted to send a quick Q2 update here for visibility and to make it easier to spot where we should collaborate.
First, we’re excited to introduce Lisa Whall as our new Partner Manager. She’ll help coordinate partner programs, co-sell follow-up, field motions, and the connective tissue between our team and yours. If there’s someone on your side Lisa should know, reply in thread and we’ll get the intro moving.
Second, we refreshed our Q2 2026 partner deck. It covers who Brainforge is, the outcomes we drive, and how we show up in joint accounts: governed data/AI, attribution and metrics that mean the same thing everywhere, and agentic workflows tied to the tools and knowledge teams already use. Reply in thread if you want the deck or a 15-minute walkthrough. [TODO: add shareable deck link]
Third, a few market/positioning takeaways we’re using to guide Q2:
- VixulCon reinforced the governance theme: AI is becoming less about one-off tools and more about workflows people can trust: systems of record still matter, reliability still matters, and accountability does not disappear.
[TODO: replace/add named VixulCon takeaway if you want a specific reference] - Health and CPG are still where we see the most pull: health buyers tend to care about risk management and simplifying operational complexity; CPG buyers often split between revenue growth at smaller brands and cost/risk reduction at larger ones.
- We’re exploring adjacent verticals with similar pressure: legal and regulated services care about speed and margin preservation; public sector has more red tape, so trust and process matter even more.
- We’re shifting more from execution to governance: the work that matters most is helping organizations get right what they can’t afford to get wrong. That often sits around legacy platforms, Snowflake/ERP ecosystems, secure AI workflows, auditability, and change management.
- Our GTM motion is intentionally partner-led and AI-enabled: we’re investing in better outreach, lead research, nurture, and faster discovery-to-demo handoffs, but we are not trying to build a heavy traditional sales force. We want partners to be the multiplier.
Finally, where we’d love your input:
What verticals/use cases are showing up most often in your Q2 field plan? Where do you see buyers asking for governed AI, workflow assurance, or help migrating off legacy core platforms? If there’s a co-sell, event, or content angle, Lisa can help route it.
No urgent action needed if this is just useful context — but if anything overlaps with your pipeline or partner priorities, thread works great.
— Brainforge partnerships
Optional per-channel line
If you need one sentence that varies (usually skip for a broad broadcast): use partner name + one joint focus (e.g. Snowflake+Cortex, comarketing, intro path).
Edit notes
- Add the public/shareable link to the Q2 2026 partner deck before blast.
- Replace or approve the VixulCon bullet; it is currently generalized from your themes rather than tied to a named event takeaway.
- The short message is now patterned after Amplitude’s best update style: “a few updates on our end,” numbered bullets, one explicit ask, and a thread-friendly close.
