Glacial Time-to-Revenue
Hiring a CMO takes 3-6+ months. Building the team takes another quarter. First consistent pipeline in month 9? Nine months of burn with no marketing engine.
THE PORTFOLIO PROBLEM
Scaling Go-to-Market Is Always A Startup Bottleneck
Post-round, the playbook says "scale", but building marketing from scratch is risky & takes months you don't have.
Burn Rate Furnace
A Marketing leader, 1-2 mid-level managers, a socials specialist, and an old style agency retainer. Suddenly GTM is $500K+/year before a single MQL hits their CRM.
Portfolio Inconsistencies
Every one of your portcos reinvents the wheel. Different agencies, different tools, different reporting. No shared learnings, no operational leverage across investments.
