Marketer for Startups | I help startup founders develop marketing strategy, execute tactics and scale their businesses

You've tried everything. Reddit, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, communities.
Zero traction. Zero customers. Here's what's actually broken...

After diagnosing 100+ B2B SaaS founders, I discovered 58% have the same execution gaps:
  • They post where their competitors are, not where customers gather
  • They mention their product too early (or too late)
  • They abandon tactics after 5 attempts instead of iterating

I've guided founders from 0 to their first 10 paying customers by fixing these gaps.

Not with more strategies. With better execution.

My methodology is rooted in transparency and relevance. This approach has not only delivered results but has also led to features in respected industry outlets such as the Content Marketing Institute and Hotjar.
