Building got easy. Distribution didn't.
Everyone can build a product now. Getting customers and investor attention? That's the hard part.
I've done this 15+ times. I know what works. Let me save you 18 months of mistakes.
Not my first rodeo. I've worked with:
You've built something. Maybe it's good. Maybe it's great.
But you have no repeatable way to reach customers or investors.
Right now:
- •Investors don't fully get your business
- •Customers aren't moving fast enough
- •You're blindly testing marketing tactics
You don't need another to-do list. You need someone who's built this before and knows what actually works and what doesn't.
No more throwing spaghetti at the wall while you cut your runway in half.
Here are 3 ways I can help you
They all work together to make your startup successful.
To get customers
Look, everyone's using ChatGPT for marketing now. The problem is that advice is written for Ikea, not for you. Big company tactics will drain your account before you see a single paying customer. I know what actually works when you're running lean.
To get funding
Here's the truth: pre-seed investors aren't betting on your product. They're betting on whether YOU can make this happen. Later stages? Then it's about traction. But if you can't tell your story with the right energy (focused on them, not you) you're done. I help you walk into that room and make them believe.
To not run out of money
Runways look longer than they are. Shit happens. Pivots, bad hires, features that flop. Every misstep costs money you might not be able to raise again. Most founders want to build everything and say yes to everyone. That's the death spiral. I help you figure out what's good enough to ship and what you need to ruthlessly ignore.
You're In The Right Place If...
You're a seed to Series A founder. You've raised €500K-10M or you're bootstrapping with revenue.
You can build. The problem is reaching customers consistently or telling your story to investors.
You don't have an experienced marketing team—or any team yet. You need strategy first. Then you execute it with interns, juniors, or yourself.
Ways to Work together
Most founders don't need a full-time CMO. They need strategic clarity and a roadmap they can execute with their team.
I care about profitability and customer movement. Not vanity metrics.
Here's how I typically work with clients:
Strategic Sprint (€3-5k one-off)
- •1-2 week intensive engagement
- •Audit positioning, build narrative, create roadmap
- •Most clients convert into ongoing work
Narrative & Positioning Partner (€2k/month)
- •Clarify your value proposition
- •Refine your investor and market story
- •Bi-weekly strategy calls
Growth Engine Architect (€3.5k/month)
- •Everything above, plus:
- •GTM strategy roadmap
- •Light team coaching on execution
- •Monthly workshop
Fractional CMO (€5k/month)
- •Everything above, plus:
- •Ongoing CMO-level advisory
- •Weekly board-level presence
- •Investor deck and fundraising narrative support
My role: I give you the strategy. You execute it with your team or hire juniors (saving you €50k+ per year on expensive marketing hires). I keep you from wasting time on things that don't matter.
