Four focused ways we help venture-backed software companies build a technical sales organization before bad habits become company culture.
For: Seed to Series A founders who need senior sales engineering leadership before they can justify — or afford — a full-time executive hire.
We step in as interim GTM leadership to set strategy, develop presentation skills to drive business outcomes, install pipeline discipline, and run the sales engineering org day-to-day. Most engagements run 3–6 months and end with a plan for your first full-time VP hire, or a decision that you don't need one yet.
For: Founders hiring their first Sales Engineer or first enterprise Account Executive, and teams scaling a technical sales floor.
We've personally held the roles you're searching for, so we know what "good" looks like before a candidate ever gets on a call. We act as an extension of your recruiting team, not a "fee-based" external recruiter saving you thousands of dollars in fees.
Every search is run by people who've carried the quota, not a generalist agency recruiter.
For: Technical founders who've closed early deals on relationships and now need a repeatable process to hand off to a growing team.
Selling a complex technical product to an enterprise buyer takes more than a good demo. We document the motion your best deals actually followed and turn it into a playbook a new hire can run on day one.
For: Technical founders selling deals themselves, and early sales hires who need to level up fast.
Executive workshops that turn product experts into confident closers — built around your actual product and your actual deals, not generic sales theory.
Every engagement is led by people who've personally held the Sales Engineer, AE, and sales leadership roles we're hired to build or help you fill — not consultants working from a framework.
Hiring too early, skipping process, or promoting the wrong person into sales leadership — we've seen every version of it, and we help you skip the expensive lessons.
Most startup founders are experts in building products.
Few have built enterprise technical sales organizations.
We help founders avoid the hiring mistakes, sales process gaps, and organizational growing pains that slow down otherwise exceptional companies.
Early-stage startups face a difficult challenge: building a repeatable enterprise sales motion for a complex technical product.
Most founders have deep product expertise, but selling that technology to enterprise buyers requires a different skill set - one built through years of experience scaling technical sales organizations.
We bring decades of real-world technical sales leadership to your company. We'll help you avoid costly mistakes that kill startups and build the foundation required to scale revenue.
Powering technical startups in scaling enterprise revenue.
