    What we do

    Four ways to work with us

    Rocket Fuel Factory helps MSP operators and channel vendors run better businesses through owned events, hands-on workshops, selective consulting, and freely published resources.

    Events

    Four owned events a year, plus the free Global Sync series. Operator rooms built for real conversation, not booth traffic.

    Workshops

    Single-topic, hands-on operational deep dives. Practitioner-led, with a finished artifact you take home.

    Consulting and Advisory

    Selective, founder-delivered engagements for operators and channel teams who need direct help on a specific problem.

    Content and Open Resources

    Freely published playbooks, templates, checklists, research, and the industry directories. No gates.

    2027 event calendar

    One owned event per quarter

    Plus the free Global Sync series running through the year. Operator rooms, built and hosted by people still doing the work.

    Built different, on purpose.

    How Rocket Fuel Factory compares to everything else in the MSP channel.

    Rocket Fuel Factory
    • Every session produces a deliverable
    • Vendors integrate as educators, never pitchers
    • Rooms are peers at the same stage
    • Founders still run businesses, advice is earned
    • Every session ends with something usable
    • Sessions are practice-first
    Everyone Else
    • Sessions produce notes
    • Vendors buy speaking slots
    • Mixed groups dilute relevance
    • Coaches advise from the outside
    • Sessions end with a follow-up email
    • Sessions are slide-first

    Rocket Fuel Factory does not publish theory. We build structured programs that help IT vendors and MSPs take what they read and put it into practice. The playbook provides the operating model. Our programs provide the accountability, community, and hands-on support to make it real.

    Be warned: We are not an easy button.

    Where to start

    If you run an MSP, start with an event or a workshop. If you're a vendor, start with the vendor pathways.
