Help wanted: Zoom ISV partner application

[Jericho]

I recently submitted an application to join Zoom's ISV partner program which would grant me access to additional API functionality and ultimately allow me to add additional functionality to ZoomNet.

As part of this application process they asked about my revenue model, how my project benefits Zoom (for instance, do I resell their product), how my project benefits their customers, etc. I disclosed that I run an open source project and that I don't derive any revenue from it, I don't resell their product and I am not involved in anybody's decision to sign up for Zoom's service. I do believe that the availability of an open-source library for the .NET community can certainly influence the buying decision of some of their prospective customers but I can't quantify it.

Anyway, long story short: I am concerned that the fact that I don't DIRECTLY influence customers and the fact that I don't bring in additional revenue to Zoom might be viewed detrimentally and ultimately result in my application being rejected. My fingers are crossed and I hope that I'm wrong about this but, we'll see. I'll make sure to keep everyone in the loop if/when I get news.

In the mean time, does anybody know someone at Zoom that can influence this decision? Can you help me make my case?

I don't know anyone, but good luck and keep us updated. It might pay to say that revenue for Zoom is indirect. Indirect in that you don't generate revenue for them, but enable other ISV's to quickly create solutions that will generate revenue for Zoom.

I realise this is a rather old post, but I've contacted our Zoom account manager and customer success manager to ask for their assistance.

@Sanx78 Thank you for doing that, much appreciated.
