CMO-Level Strategy Without The Executive Salary
You've reached the stage where marketing can't be an afterthought anymore. Your Series A or B demands sophisticated go-to-market strategy and scalable demand generation systems. You need CMO-level thinking, but a $200K+ salary plus equity isn't in the budget yet.
What You're Missing Without a CMO
Your current team lacks the strategic experience to build systems that scale, and you're spending too much founder time on marketing decisions that should be delegated to an expert.
Meanwhile, your Series A or B round demands sophistication you don't have in-house.
Missing marketing leadership is costing you:
- Scattered marketing efforts that waste budget without generating qualified leads
- Investor narratives that lack sophistication for later-stage fundraising
- Go-to-market strategies that can't scale beyond founder-led sales
- Internal team spinning on tactical execution without strategic direction

Trusted By CleanTech Founders
"After our Series A, we knew we needed senior marketing leadership but couldn't justify a $200K+ CMO hire yet. Fractional leadership was the perfect solution. In six months, we went from scattered campaigns to a sophisticated lead generation engine generating 40+
qualified leads per month. More importantly, our investor narrative for Series B is 10x stronger. We're having completely different conversations now. The mentorship our junior marketing team received was invaluable. Best ROI decision we made post-Series A."

Common Questions
How is this different from hiring a full-time CMO?
You get CMO-level strategic thinking and execution oversight at a fraction of the cost. You don't get 40 hours per week, but most growth-stage companies don't need that. They need focused strategic direction and execution guidance, which we provide.
What stage companies is this best for?
This is ideal for Series A and Series B companies that have product-market fit and are ready to scale marketing but can't justify a full-time CMO hire yet. If you're pre-seed or seed, our Monthly Marketing Support might be a better fit.
Do you replace our existing marketing team?
No. We work alongside your team, providing strategic direction and mentorship. We help your team level up while executing high-impact initiatives together. Many clients transition to a full-time CMO hire once they scale further.
What's the typical engagement length?
Most clients engage for 6-12 months as they scale from Series A to Series B or beyond. Some continue long-term as their fractional CMO. We work month-to-month , so you're not locked into a long-term contract.
How do you handle confidential company information?
We sign comprehensive NDAs and treat all strategic information with complete confidentiality. We've worked with dozens of startups in sensitive growth stages and understand the importance of discretion.
Can you help us build our marketing team?
Absolutely. Part of our role includes advising on team structure, recruiting strategy, and interviewing candidates. We help you build the right team for your growth stage and budget.
