How I Help at Every Stage
I’ve worked with companies from first check to final exit—and I know the challenges look
different at every step. What doesn’t change is the pressure to make the right moves with
limited time and capital.
Here’s how I typically engage, based on where you are now
Pre-Seed / Seed
Get the Core Right Early
At this stage, it’s not about scaling—it’s about setting the foundation so scale doesn’t break
you later.
I work directly with founders to
Nail the positioning—so people understand what you do, fast
Design a simple, testable go-to-market plan
Build messaging that supports founder-led selling
Make smart early marketing hires—or step in myself as interim help
Focus on the few metrics that actually matter right now
You don’t need a CMO. You need someone who’s been here before and can help you find
traction without wasting time or money.
Series A
Build Muscle Without Losing Focus
You’ve proven there’s a market. Now the goal is repeatability—and this is where the cracks
start to show. What got you here won’t get you to Series B.
Here’s how I help
Pressure-test your current GTM and tighten what’s working
Develop a clear messaging framework the team can use across functions
Set the right performance benchmarks and org structure
Introduce scalable ops without overbuilding
Coach first-time marketing leaders or fill the gap while you hire
This is the time to get disciplined—on story, systems, and execution—before the stakes go
up.
Series B and Beyond
No Slack in the System
At this stage, every misstep has a cost. Your GTM engine needs to be tight, accountable, and
scalable.
Here’s what I focus on
Full-funnel audits to find and fix revenue leaks
Aligning product, sales, and marketing around one story and one plan
Building content systems and campaign engines that scale
Optimizing your tech stack for speed, data, and ROI
Driving the operating cadence that keeps teams aligned and moving
You need results you can trust—and systems that deliver them. That’s what I help build.
