You told the board we'd grow. The line isn't moving fast enough.
Hiring a VPM takes six months to ramp. The line isn't going to wait for that. We embed by week two and put real numbers in your next board deck.
Our best proof is the clients we'll never name.
Rent growth leadership or own it? The answer depends on what you're optimizing for.
Own it: hire a VP of Marketing
$250K+ loaded. Six months to ramp. Coin flip on fit. If they don't work out, Q1 and Q2 are gone and your growth story has a credibility problem.
Outsource it: hire an agency
Junior staff, rote work, slow reporting. They optimize for the retainer. Your board won't believe their numbers, and neither will you.
Rent until you're ready to own
Senior operators in the business by week two. Real numbers by meeting #3. When you later hire a VP, they walk into a working system.

Output: CAC going down, pipeline going up.What Series A founders ask us.
Hire a VPM when you know what the job actually is. Most Series A founders don't yet. Rent until the shape of the job is clear. Then hire.
Your new VPM walks into a working system. Dashboards live, playbooks written, pipeline already coming in. They start at month four, not month one.
Diagnostic week 1. Content live week 2. Full system by week 4. No workshops, no decks.
Founder-led sales usually breaks between $1M and $5M ARR. We build what replaces it before it does.
CAC trajectory, organic pipeline mix, attribution by channel, cohort retention. The slides your Series B deck will need anyway. Same format every month.
Month-to-month after 90 days. If we're not moving the line by week 8, we'll tell you before you have to ask.
Three board meetings from now, someone's going to ask for numbers.
Series B gets raised on a real growth line. Extensions get raised on aspirational ones. Build the real one while there's still time on the clock.
This conversation stays between us.
