Howdy Partners! Here’s the last weekly Partnerships newsletter of the year:

This tool focuses on eye movements and could bring a more precise diagnosis of attention deficits. And people told me that all those hours of playing Call of Duty were a waste of time.
End-of-the-year win
Our team closed the year with a virtual group hug as we got featured in one of our favorite newsletters, The Hustle. This amazing bulletin, dropped a line about the State of Partner Ops report we wrote with Hubspot and Canalys. Next stop, the Tonight Show!
