You have traction. You don’t yet have a predictable GTM engine.

Most early-stage B2B tech companies hit a wall between product-market fit and scalable growth: the founder is still the top closer, the ICP keeps widening, pipeline is hard to repeat, and a $300K full-time CMO isn’t justifiable yet.

Hiring a full team is a six-to-twelve-month build you don’t have time for. You need a senior marketing function that’s operational in week one — strategy and execution under one roof, accountable to one number, designed to hand off when you’re ready.

We close that gap — fast.

How we work

A marketing department, not a meeting.

A senior team — fractional CMO, GTM strategist, and operators who have shipped before — operational in week one, with no contractor sprawl.

Strategy

Positioning, messaging, and category POV led by a fractional CMO.

Demand

Campaigns, content, and pipeline wired to your CRM.

Systems

Martech, GTM tooling, and AI Automation Workflows, built and run, with attribution and dashboards.

Execution

The work ships — we embed in your systems, processes, and team.

Read: The Real ROI of a Fractional CMO

Built for founders without senior marketing in seat.

You’re a fit if:

  • Seed to Series B B2B tech
  • The founder is still making most marketing calls
  • Preparing for a raise, a launch, or a category move
  • Pipeline conversion is flat or down
  • 12-18 months of runway to prove a repeatable model

You’re probably not a fit if:

You already have a VP of Marketing running a full team. If that’s you, you may want Advisory — or nothing from us yet. We’ll tell you straight.
