Right now, you might be facing the \"Death Spiral\"- Investors don\'t fully \"get\" your business narrative- You\'re blindly testing marketing tactics that drain your runway- You have a great product, but the market isn\'t moving fast enough.I don\'t just advise; I build. I\'ve done this 15+ times.I help Seed to Series A founders fix their Distribution and Narrative. I strip away the \"big company\" marketing tactics that don\'t work for startups and install the lean growth engines that actually drive traction.MY BACKGROUND ISN\'T THEORETICAL: OPERATOR: Former CMO at Tryp.com (+208% traffic growth,+150% sales-60% CAC in 5 months—all organic).
