Huntress Urges MSPs To Align With Mission-Driven Vendors

Huntress Community Growth Strategist Jeremy Young urged managed service providers (MSPs) at NexGen to rethink vendor relationships and prioritize partners that align with their values and business goals.

Young opened the keynote with a practical offer: free internal-use licenses for MSPs. He said the goal is to help providers secure their own environments before deploying Huntress to clients. “Go to that link or QR code and start using the full platform today for free to enable a more secure and scalable tomorrow,” Young told attendees.

He highlighted Huntress’ evolution from a single product to a platform with four standalone solutions, all supported by a 24/7 security operations center. “While many things have changed, the people, the culture, the community-first approach has remained the same,” Young said. “Our founders are still here, obsessed with making our partners the heroes.”

Young stressed Huntress’ differentiator in the crowded security market: combining technology and service for MSPs without full security teams. “We don’t just sell the tech, we don’t just sell the service—they are together always,” he said.

He also urged MSPs to avoid chasing big-name vendors without shared priorities. “Stop trying to date vendors that aren’t that into you,” Young said. “Marry the vendors who are big enough that they won’t get bought out tomorrow…and whose mission aligns with your mission.”
