Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fractional CMO?

I am a Fractional CMO. I work as a part-time marketing executive who provides expert leadership without the full-time cost. My focus is on SaaS, Software, Mobile and Technology Startups with proven results in lifting revenue.

How do you price your Services?

My Fractional CMO services are tailored specifically for startups, offering exceptional value without compromising quality.

Cost-effectively priced with your budget in mind, I deliver rock-solid PMF and effective GTM strategies. You’ll benefit from high-impact marketing that drives growth and maximizes ROI.

How do I know if my MVP is ready?

You don’t - but it’s crucial not to overdevelop your MVP without getting customer feedback first. Finding the right balance of when to launch can be challenging, and I can help you identify the optimal time to introduce your MVP to the market.

How can you help with GTM?

Go-To-Market involves a strategic plan with tactical implementation. My team can assist with both aspects by crafting a creative plan and executing it efficiently using automation, AI, and professional expertise.

What SaaS KPIs should I be looking at?
The KPIs you should focus on depend on your business stage and current priorities. I can help you determine the right focus, ensuring you track KPIs that accurately reflect progress and establish procedures for corrective actions.
Can you help with the Funding round as well?

Yes. At the early stage of your startup, you have several options. I can provide guidance and support you dealing with angels, government grants, and VCs.
