In essence, 3 Tree Tech simplifies the technology landscape for clients by doing the heavy lifting of scouting and vetting, and provide you the right partners/vendors with direct, qualified access to senior decision-makers within organizations actively seeking solutions.
It’s a win-win ecosystem built on trust and strategic alignment.

Here’s why it’s worth partnering with 3 Tree Tech as a vendor (short version: high-signal buyers, curated stages, and credible match‑making without the usual channel noise):

  • Direct access to senior buyers. 3 Tree Tech’s invite-only forums are built for CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, COOs, and IT Directors—locally (Connect), regionally (Stealth), and nationally (Summit). Each has limited sponsor slots (e.g., Connect: 1–2; Stealth: 4–5; Summit: 20–30), keeping the signal high and the room senior.

  • “IT R&D” for buyers — aka vendor acceleration for you. 3 Tree Tech’s platform-agnostic tech scouts research disruptors and proven vendors, then align them to real business objectives. That shortlists you faster and shortens sales cycles when you’re the right fit.

  • Credibility by association. Join a partner bench that includes recognized brands and high‑growth innovators (e.g., HPE Juniper, AT&T, Dialpad, Zoom, Cyera, Halcyon, Genesys). Social proof matters—especially with enterprise buyers.

  • Thought leadership and content leverage. 3 Tree Tech’s Insights and events create chances to place your POV where execs actually pay attention, not in a vendor hall echo chamber.

  • Focus where budgets are hot. 3 Tree Tech concentrates on Cybersecurity, Customer Experience, and IoT/Networking—areas with active spend and cross‑functional urgency.

  • Relationship-first community, not a one-off webinar. 3 Tree Tech curates peer learning and alignment between business goals and tech strategy—exactly the context where complex solutions get traction.

  • Quality over quantity. The sponsor caps per experience mean you’re not one booth among hundreds. Fewer vendors, more meaningful dialogues, more at-bats with the right execs.

Who gets the most value

  • Emerging disruptors needing enterprise credibility and introductions to the right buyers.

  • Established vendors entering new categories or repositioning upmarket.

  • Solutions in Cybersecurity, CX/Contact Center, and IoT/Network modernization where 3 Tree Tech already drives conversations.

Net-net: If you want substantive conversations with senior decision-makers — and a knowledgeable, platform-agnostic team advocating for best-fit solutions — 3 Tree Tech is your strong and reliable channel to accelerate pipeline and credibility without getting lost in vendor sprawl.

Practical ways to engage

  • Fit and ICP alignment: Brief 3 Tree Tech’s tech scouts on your ideal customer, proof points, and where you outperform incumbents.

  • Be part of the short list: Provide crisp validation (customer references, ROI, security posture) so you slot into scouted recommendation sets.

  • Choose the right stage:

    • Connect (local, 10–15 leaders, 1–2 sponsors) for intimate, high-conversion conversations.

    • Stealth (regional, 20–25 leaders, 4–5 sponsors) for themed depth and founder/CxO dialogue.

    • Summit (national, 80+ leaders, 20–30 sponsors) for scale and brand lift.

    Co-create content: Contribute a pointed Insight or executive roundtable tied to measurable outcomes buyers care about.

    Here’s the flow:

    1. Clients Define Needs & Goals: Organizations (the “clients”) approach 3 Tree Tech with specific technology challenges, strategic objectives, or a desire to modernize their infrastructure in areas like cybersecurity, IoT, or customer experience. They’re looking for guidance and solutions.

    2. 3 Tree Tech’s “Tech Scout” Identifies Solutions: This is where 3 Tree Tech shines. Their team acts like an “IT R&D department,” actively scouting the market for innovative and proven technology solutions. They don’t just find vendors; they vet them thoroughly for fit, security, and strategic alignment with client needs.

    3. Vetted Vendors Become “Partners”: Once a technology provider meets 3 Tree Tech’s stringent criteria and is deemed a potential solution for client challenges, they become part of 3 Tree Tech’s network of “partners.” These are the vendors whose solutions 3 Tree Tech trusts and recommends. Examples include companies like HPE Juniper, Big Panda, Cato Networks, AT&T, Cyera, Genesys ...

      Facilitating Connections and Strategy for Clients:

    4. Advisory: 3 Tree Tech advises clients on the best-fit solutions from their network of partners, helping them understand the pros and cons and how different technologies can integrate into their existing environment.

    5. Introductions: 3 Tree Tech makes warm, relevant introductions between clients and the most suitable partners/vendors, often cutting through the typical sales noise.

    6. Community Engagement: Through their Connect, Stealth, and Summit events, 3 Tree Tech creates exclusive forums where clients can meet and learn from these vetted partners directly in a high-signal, peer-to-peer environment. This allows clients to explore solutions and build relationships in a relaxed, curated setting.

    7. Integration Support: Beyond introductions, 3 Tree Tech helps clients with the architectural and integration strategies to ensure these new technologies are successfully implemented and aligned with their overall business strategy.
