Partner with DMN / Amass
Structured ways to work with Jordan Hauer, Amass Insights and the Data Market Network: DMN
Over the years, I’ve built numerous flavors of relationships across the data & investing market: data providers, asset managers, sponsors, strategic partners, expert contributors, media platforms, and distribution channels.
Not every partner relationship should be custom.
Why We Partner
The data market runs on more than just datasets.
It also runs on:
- community
- distribution
- workflow infrastructure
- curation
- referrals
- content
- trust
Some partners want visibility or distribution or even deeper integrations.
Some want to help us source, maintain, or monetize the ecosystem itself.
We strive to keeping relationships as simple as possible, and route the right partners into the right model.
Who We Partner With
We are not looking for generic partnership theater. We’re most interested in partners who bring one or more of the following:
- kickass data products
- credible access to relevant users
- meaningful category expertise
- workflow leverage
- high-quality distribution
- real overlap with investors, providers, or tools/services
- long-term alignment, not just one-off promotion
We care about:
- signal density
- practical value
- clear economics
- better outcomes for end users
- repeatable collaboration
Partnership Paths
1) Event Sponsorship
Best for firms that want visibility and credibility in curated rooms.
This includes:
- DMN Exchange virtual events

2) Curated Listing in the Market Network
Best for relevant data or InvestTech providers, tools or services that want baseline public visibility and a cleaner way to be credibly discovered. Build a more structured presence within our data & InvestTech market network.
This is the lightest-weight way for providers, tools and services to participate in the broader ecosystem.
Good for:
- data, analytics or research providers
- workflow & infrastructure tools
- implementation partners
- compliance / DDQ / procurement tools
- analytics, enrichment or delivery products
- relevant media and service ecosystems

3) Market Network Partner
Best for firms that want more than a basic listing and are looking for a stronger digital placement and richer profile visibility within the ecosystem.
This may include:
- stronger profile visibility & category authority
- premium or featured placement

- bundle participation
- event integration
- partner offers
- co-distribution or referral structures where appropriate
This is the main route for data providers, tools and services that want a deeper commercial relationship, but may or may not be a fit for a full strategic partnership.
