The Challenge

Lisa's Image Guard platform was ready, but their user base was small. To be truly effective, they needed high-volume distribution and integration with the platforms that matter most. She knew a partnership with a major Content Delivery Network (CDN) or a leading stock photo agency could unlock millions of potential users overnight. However, her attempts to secure meetings were blocked by sales teams at massive enterprises like Getty Images or Cloudflare, who didn't view a tiny startup as a worthy use of their time.
