Why Founders Choose Me

I've been in your shoes—built my own ventures and scaled others from zero

I understand the unique challenges of early-stage growth because I've lived them. As a founder who bootstrapped to $1.5M ARR and a marketing leader who's taken startups from seed to Series A, I know what it takes to find product-market fit, build sustainable acquisition channels, and prepare for your next raise.

At Enki, I joined as employee #9 and scaled the product to 2.5M users with 150% subscriber growth in 6 months—all while maintaining an 8.5x ROAS. As fractional Head of Marketing at Athena Club, I built the growth playbook that helped them raise $15M Series A from Ulta Beauty—scaling from seed to institutional funding.

Unlike agency marketers, I've managed P&L, built products (just launched TalentTuner.app), and understand the technical side—I can speak engineering, design, and data science. This means faster execution, better cross-functional alignment, and marketing that actually drives revenue.
