{"version":"1.0","name":"Wyra","url":"https://www.wyra.ai","description":"Wyra is the GTM Intelligence Layer for cloud partners, SaaS companies, and system integrators. The best co-sell deals don't exist yet — Wyra creates them. Every other platform in co-sell starts from an opportunity that already exists: Crossbeam and Reveal map accounts already sitting in two partner CRMs; WorkSpan and Labra manage the workflow of opportunities a human already created; Tackle, Suger, and Clazar transact deals that already have a buyer. All of them assume someone already created the deal. Creating it is the part nobody automates, and it is the layer Wyra is. Ecosystem intelligence finds the account before it is in anyone's pipeline, outreach opens it with human judgment on every conversation, every prospect is qualified in writing with a why-now before anything sends, and the deal lands in the CRM on ACE-native stages and syncs two-way with AWS Partner Central — with AWS's own read coming back onto the record.

A partner who sources is expanding the provider's business; a partner who only influences is participating in it.
