Built for builders

You built something amazing. Now let's get it into customers' hands.

  • You're a Seed to Series B AI or data company and the founder is still running every deal.
  • You sell to marketing, data and IT teams, where every deal has lots of people to bring along.
  • Your product belongs in the Salesforce, Braze or CDP ecosystem, and you're ready to get there.
  • You need pipeline now, but you're not quite ready for a full-time VP of Sales.
  • You're a brand or seller ready to go live and turn live shopping into a real revenue channel.

Success stories

Real teams. Real growth.

Every story starts the same way: a great product, a team ready to grow, and no clear path yet. Here's what happened next.

Live commerce marketplace

A B2B sales team, built from day one

$2M+
new category revenue

The challenge: The marketplace had never sold B2B. No ideal customer profile, no playbook, no pipeline.

What we did: Defined the ICP, designed the outbound playbook, set up deal stages and pipeline management, and personally sourced and closed the first portfolio of high-value sellers.

The impact: $2M+ in new category revenue, $200K–$250K in new bookings every month, and strategic accounts worth $250K–$900K in annual revenue each, growing 25%+ month over month.

New market launch

A brand-new vertical, live in 60 days

$170K
in the first 60 days

The challenge: Open up an untapped category with zero existing sellers or relationships.

What we did: Sized the market opportunity, built the target account list and cold-prospected every account in it.

The impact: $170K in new revenue within 60 days of launch, and a repeatable template for launching the next vertical.

Generative AI platform

Big-platform partners became a growth engine

2x
partner-sourced new logos

The challenge: Strong partnerships with Salesforce and Braze on paper, but not enough deals flowing from them.

What we did: Mapped shared accounts, enabled partner sellers, ran executive business reviews, and negotiated revenue-share agreements. We positioned AI-generated content as measurable marketing lift and ROI.

The impact: Twice as many new customers sourced through partners, with co-sell pipeline across Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud and AI personalization.

AI, data & identity consultancy

Pipeline from zero, better together with partners

30%+
more partner-sourced pipeline

The challenge: Sell complex AI identity-resolution and data solutions with no existing pipeline.

What we did: Owned the full cycle from outbound to close, led discovery with marketing, data, IT and executive buyers, and designed joint co-sell motions with partner sales teams.

The impact: Enterprise deals that drove double-digit revenue growth, 30%+ more partner-sourced pipeline and higher win rates.

Salesforce ecosystem

Partners that filled real product gaps

10+
ISV partner agreements closed

The challenge: Retail and consumer goods brands needed data, AI and activation capabilities faster than the product roadmap could deliver.

What we did: Managed a pipeline of 50+ partner opportunities across Industry Clouds, built joint GTM plans with enterprise sales teams, and created a framework for spotting customer data pipeline gaps.

The impact: 10+ data, AI and identity partners signed, helping customers adopt Data Cloud faster and see value sooner.

Emerging-tech startup

From "yes to everything" to a focused GTM

Focus
on enterprise-grade value props

The challenge: A Web3 development platform was chasing every opportunity in a huge, undefined market.

What we did: Led market development and competitive analysis, and distilled complex smart-contract technology into clear business value for target verticals.

The impact: A clear product and GTM strategy built around a few enterprise use cases the team could actually win.

About

Hi, I'm Madeline. Let's grow together.

For 8+ years I've helped SaaS, AI and marketplace companies grow, closing enterprise deals from $50K to $1M and building sales teams where none existed before.

My journey started in outbound sales at Tesla and SurveyMonkey. At Salesforce, I helped partners grow across the ecosystem and later worked as a solutions engineer helping enterprise brands connect their customer data. Since then I've led partnerships at a generative AI company, built B2B sales from the ground up at a marketplace, and founded my own AI startup.

I believe the best growth happens when everyone wins: your customers, your partners and your team. I can talk architecture with your engineers and ROI with your buyer's CFO, and I'll be right there with you when it's time to close.
