Growth stalled a quarter ago.
You haven't admitted it yet.
Your CMO sees it too. They already have the plan to fix it. What they don't have is the hands to build it fast enough. We're the team that sits under them and ships.
What got you here won't get you to C.
Founder-led sales broke.
Founders, referrals, warm intros got you to $5M. That motion has a ceiling, and you're near it.
Paid CAC is climbing past sustainable.
Same channels, higher cost, worse attribution. Series C investors underwrite blended CAC trend, not gross volume.
Your content isn't an engine.
A blog with 20 posts a quarter isn't infrastructure. Competitors with dedicated teams are opening a gap.
Building internally takes 3–5 hires.
$700K+/year, then ramp. By the time they're shipping, you're three quarters further down the runway.
The Series C narrative isn't written yet.
Real growth lines get raised. Aspirational ones get extensions. There's a difference, and your next term sheet knows it.
Your CMO is overloaded.
They have the plan. They don't have the operators. We sit under them and ship what they already designed.
The results are the resume.

The client behind this result asked us never to name them. We never will. VC-backed, competitive market. Same stage as you.

Your marketing leadership owns the strategy. We're the team that actually builds it.

Scale
Weekly sprints, monthly board updates. When you're ready, we hand over the playbook.
From Series B founders.
We tried an agency. They gave us slides. Why is this different?
Our output is numbers, not documents. We live in your CMO's Slack. If the line doesn't move, we own it. No status decks.
We already have a CMO. Will this create conflict?
No. We report to your CMO. They own strategy, we own build. Same standups, same metrics, same board deck.
Our organic program stalled. Can you fix it?
Most Series B engagements start with a stall. We find what broke. Usually distribution, not content. Your existing work gets rebuilt, not thrown out.
Will organic replace paid?
Not right away. Organic pulls blended CAC down over 6-9 months. Paid stays for what it's doing well.
Competitors outspend us 3-5x. How does organic catch up?
Paid doesn't compound. Content and search authority do. One NDA client got 900% branded search growth on $0 ad spend.
Contract terms?
90 days to start, month-to-month after. If we can't move the line by week 8, we tell you before you have to ask.
Series C doesn't get underwritten on the motion that raised Series B.
The companies that win this stage are building the next motion right now, under their CMO. 35% CAC reduction. 900% branded search growth. One NDA client, same stage you're at.
Nobody will know we talked. That's how this works.
