Signal — Motive Partners

Portfolio company technology vendor spend survey

We are mapping technology vendor spend across the Motive portfolio so we can aggregate buying power, negotiate better pricing and discounts on your behalf, and pass those savings back to you. The more detail you can share, the more value we can unlock — all responses are treated as highly confidential and used only for collective benchmarking and negotiation. Complete the company section then add your cloud and AI spend and key vendor details. Focus section 4 on your top 5–10 vendors by annual spend ($1m+) or business criticality. All amounts in USD.
