i've been running a marketing agency for about fourteen years now, team of thirty-five, worked with hundreds of brands. but that's just half the story - I've also built and sold two startups of my own, raised funding, and have genuine connections with investors who are itching for the next good thing. seen this world from both sides, and it's painful to watch.
the gap I keep noticing: brilliant developers building solid products that die quietly because no one knows they exist. the product might be amazing, but marketing infrastructure? zero. Growth stalls, users don't come, and the product fades out. Not because it was bad - because nobody knew.
So here's the offer: I'm looking for one or two tech startups where the founder crushes the product side but can't get distribution. i'll bring my whole agency - strategy, content, paid, organic, the works - at no cash cost to you. in exchange, I take equity. Simple as that.
Few clarifications: I stick to marketing and distribution - no meddling in your product, roadmap, or build decisions. Down the line if you need funding, I can open doors to investors in my network (no promises of cheques from me, just introductions). and I'm only interested in serious founders, not people just kicking tyres.
Works best if you have a working product or near it, you're a dev who knows the tech but struggles with growth, and you're ready to scale with a partner who's been in the trenches as both agency owner and founder.
Not here to hijack your vision. i just know what it takes to get a product in front of the right people, and I'd rather put that skill to work in something I believe in than watch good products fail for the wrong reasons.
