If the strategic partner is much larger than you as is often the case for a startup, then they can become strategic on many levels to the point of giving you the ability to “stand on the shoulders of a giant”.

The key to great strategic partnerships is one word. MUTUALITY. In other words making sure that each partner mutually benefits in a win win collaboration.
