Sales Consulting
for Early-Stage Startups
Growth-Focused Guidance for B2B Startups.
As a startup founder, you never have enough. Time, money, resources. It’s the name of the game. And since you need to build towards a strong customer base right out of the gate, it’s easy to feel like you’re up against the clock as soon as your round closes.
What set of customers will you target for those ‘early wins?’ How do they buy?
How do you know when you’ve achieved ‘product-market-fit?’
What type of go-to-market team should you scale out and when? How will you do it?
By working with me, I’ll help you define your path to growth and put the systems in place to achieve it. I guide you on finding true product-market fit— helping you acquire your initial customers— and developing the sales strategies and methodologies you’ll need to build and scale your go-to-market org. When you've hit your milestones, as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) I'm here to help as you navigate your next big fundraising steps.
As it relates to guidance and advising, I rely on over a decade of experience in sales across traditional financial institutions (Scotia Capital; RBC) as well as fast-scaling fintech startups like Plaid, Berbix (acq. by Socure), and Meld.
If you're a startup founder looking for ways to juice your growth, hit me up. I can help.
