Coder growth playbook

Run a monthly roundtable in each city: twelve heads of platform engineering and security from the ABM list, Chatham House rules, one real incident story from a customer and one from Coder's Field CTO, and a written summary (no names) for attendees afterwards. Invite from the target account list with the AEs.

Agents running with too much access is the fear Coder sells against. Peers trading incidents makes the case better than a demo, and every attendee is a named account.

Subject: Twelve platform leaders, one question: what did your agents do last quarter?

We are hosting a small dinner for heads of platform engineering and security in [city] on [date]. No slides and no recording: two short stories of real AI agent incidents, then an open conversation about what controls are actually working.

Attendees get a written summary of what was shared, without names.

Would you like a seat?

• Attendees will not share incidents

  Open with Coder's own lessons and keep the rules strict.

• Feels like a sales pitch

  No product demo in the room; follow-up is optional.

Publish the report summary and the independent findings on trust.coder.com, add a short "how the registry is protected now" page (key handling, signing, monitoring), and give AEs a one-paragraph answer for security questionnaires.

Coder sells governance and control. How it handled its own incident is the strongest proof of that promise, and every enterprise security review will ask about it anyway.

• Publishing reopens the story

  Frame it as the follow-up the original post promised.

Package a half-day hands-on lab (deploy Coder, add AI Gateway and Agent Firewall, run an agent safely) with a demo environment, slides, a facilitator guide and a 30-day pilot plan. Train three systems integrators to run it with their clients.

Partners repeat what is easy to deliver and makes them look expert. A boxed lab turns each partner into a source of pilots without Coder in the room.

• Partners deliver it badly

  Certify facilitators before they run it.

Create three partner tiers with clear requirements (certified engineers, labs run, customers live), publish a page per strategic SI with the joint offer and a reference architecture, and list certified partners in a directory.

Enterprises often buy through their SI. A public, tiered program tells partners what it takes and tells buyers whom to call.

Write fair comparison pages in the same style: where each fits, where self-hosted Coder fits, an architecture table and a migration note.

Enterprise evaluations put Coder next to whatever the company already owns. Each missing page is a comparison someone else writes.

Run a campaign aimed at platform and FinOps teams: install the open-source gateway, see token spend and agent activity by team in an afternoon, then upgrade to Premium for RBAC, audit and Coder Agents. Add a cost report template.

Add an agents milestone to every success plan: a 30-day pilot on governed workspaces with one team, measured on tasks completed and incidents avoided, then a seat expansion.

Score target accounts weekly on three public signals (platform engineering hiring, AI coding tool announcements, VDI or dev-environment complaints in posts) and send outreach tied to the signal, with a roundtable invite.

Signals tell the SDR why now. Tying outreach to the account's own news gets replies from technical leaders who ignore generic sequences.

Build a co-sell motion with the hyperscalers' field teams: marketplace private offers so customers can buy against committed spend, joint account plans for the top 50 accounts, and seller incentives where available.

Add a short, tested "agent install" guide that a coding agent can follow end to end (prerequisites, commands, checks), and promote "ask your agent to install Coder" in the community.
