About Jonathan Hershman
You've built the product. The hard part now isn't building. It's finding the revenue and going to get it. That's the work I do. As Head of Business Development for early-stage startups, I find the customers, run the outreach, work the pipeline, and close the deals. Strategy and execution, in the same hands. Fifteen years of doing this across very different rooms, from pre-revenue startups landing their first customers to multi-billion-dollar corporations navigating digital transformation. Capital raises, strategic partnerships, sales infrastructure, pricing, repeatable revenue. My background is a mix of Wall Street banking, management consulting, and operating roles. The finance work taught me what buyers care about. The consulting work taught me how products fit into large organizations. The operating work taught me how to actually get things done. I partner directly with founders and CEOs to figure out their market, sharpen their pitch, and build the systems that generate consistent momentum. I don't advise. I execute. "Jon made more progress in 3 weeks than we made in the past year."
