What is "Partnerships-Led," and it's it viable on it's own?

Will Taylor asked this question on LinkedIn;

"Can you build a great company with a 100% partner-led approach?"

Before we go into much detail about that question from my friend Will, we should first ask ourselves the question; "What does partnerships-led mean?"

Is a webinar I do with another company partner-led? Or, is that just solid efficient thought-leadership content marketing?

Is an integration a partnership? At Partnerhub®, we have integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Sendgrid.... Does that mean they are our partners?

And when I set up an affiliate tracking funnel and payout system for my product... Does that mean those bloggers who signed up and shared my link are my partners?

What is "partnerships-led"? 
If and when it is a viable growth strategy?
