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.
Rent it. Or own it.
The answer depends on what you're optimizing for. Most Series A founders don't know yet. and that's the answer.

What Series A founders ask.
Why rent growth leadership instead of hiring a VPM?
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.
What happens to the work when we later hire a VPM?
Your new VPM walks into a working system. Dashboards live, playbooks written, pipeline already coming in. They start at month four, not month one.
How fast do you start?
Diagnostic week 1. Content live week 2. Full system by week 4. No workshops, no decks.
Will this replace founder-led sales?
Founder-led sales usually breaks between $1M and $5M ARR. We build what replaces it before it does.
How do you report to the board?
CAC trajectory, organic pipeline mix, attribution by channel, cohort retention. The slides your Series B deck will need anyway. Same format every month.
What happens if the numbers don't move?
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.
