For SaaS Founders

Stop closing every deal yourself. Build a pipeline engine.

You've hit $2M ARR on founder-led sales, personal network, and sheer willpower. But you can't scale yourself. You need a repeatable pipeline system that generates qualified opportunities while you focus on product and closing.

You Are

70%+ of pipeline comes from you. Investors want repeatable demand gen. You're too busy closing to build the engine.

What You Need
A full marketing team and system without the $300K+ annual cost of building in-house. Pipeline results within 90 days.

The Founder's Dilemma

You're the pipeline. That's the problem.

Every SaaS founder who comes to us is living the same version of this story. Revenue is growing, but it's all dependent on one person you. Here's what we hear in every first call:

01

"I close every deal myself"

You're the best salesperson in the company. That's great at $1M ARR, unsustainable at $5M, and a red flag for investors at $10M. They need to see repeatable pipeline, not founder heroics.

02

"We tried hiring a marketer. It didn't work."

You hired a Head of Marketing at $150K+. Six months in, you have a brand guide and a few blog posts but zero pipeline. One person can't run SEO, outbound, content, events, and paid simultaneously.

03

"Our agency sends reports but no leads"

Traffic charts going up. Social impressions look impressive. But your sales team still asks every Monday: where are the leads? The agency measures marketing metrics. You measure revenue.

04

"The board wants a pipeline plan"

Series A investors want to see a scalable demand gen strategy for the next funding round. You need to show marketing-sourced pipeline, not just a deck about "brand awareness."

05

"I don't have time to manage marketing"

You're CEO, CTO, head of sales, and de facto CMO. You need a partner who can own the pipeline problem end-to-end, not another vendor who needs babysitting.

How We Help Founders

Your full marketing team. One monthly investment.

We become your marketing department strategy through execution so you can focus on product, closing, and fundraising. Here's what you get:

01 — Go-to-Market

GTM Strategy & ICP Refinement

We start by defining (or refining) your ICP, competitive positioning, and channel mix. Most founders are targeting too broad we narrow to the accounts most likely to close.

  • ICP definition with firmographic + technographic data
  • Competitive messaging framework
  • Channel mix strategy based on your ACV and sales cycle
  • 90-day execution roadmap with pipeline projections
02 — Organic Engine

SEO, AEO & Content System

Build organic as your lowest-cost pipeline channel. We've taken SaaS companies from 5K to 120K+ monthly visitors with content that generates demo requests, not just page views.

  • Bottom-of-funnel content targeting buyers with budget
  • AI Engine Optimization for ChatGPT, Perplexity
  • Technical SEO foundation for SaaS architectures
  • Weekly content production and distribution
03 — Outbound & ABM

Multi-Channel Outreach

Targeted outreach to your best-fit accounts across email, LinkedIn, and paid. Not spray-and-pray — precision sequences with human-quality messaging.

  • Multi-touch sequences across email and LinkedIn
  • Intent signal triggers for timely outreach
  • ABM programs for enterprise target accounts
04 — Founder Brand

Your Personal Pipeline Channel

At Series A-B, your personal LinkedIn is the highest-converting marketing channel. We turn it into a pipeline machine with ghostwritten content and strategic engagement.

  • 3-5 ghostwritten LinkedIn posts per week
  • Strategic comment engagement on prospect posts
  • Thought leadership positioning and speaking opps
  • DM outreach strategy through personal brand
05 — Events

Webinars & Community Events

  • Post-event nurture and ABM activation
  • Content repurposing across 8+ formats

  • Pipeline attribution across all channels
  • Weekly data reviews with your team
  • Board-ready pipeline reports
  • Conversion rate optimization at every stage
