For fintech & AI founders · Seed through Series B+

Strategy, product and go-to-market for fintech and AI founders.

We help Seed through Series B+ founders turn early traction into a repeatable revenue motion.

The operator's seat

We've built this from zero before.

The rare combination of real financial experience and practical start-up execution.

Our founder, Spencer Reich, built go-to-market from scratch as Senior Partner & CRO at Boosted.ai and helped take the company from pre-revenue through post Series B. Before that, he spent 15 years as an institutional investor at Goldman Sachs and Tiger Management. We've sat on both sides of the table, so we know how financial firms evaluate, pilot, and buy.

The problem

Why growth stalls.

Early traction proves the product. It rarely proves the motion. These are the four places we see growth get stuck.

01

Every deal runs through the founder

Sales depends on one person's time, relationships, and instincts.

02

Pilots that never convert

Trials start with enthusiasm and end without a decision.

03

Positioning that misses the buyer

The pitch speaks to the product, while institutions buy on workflow, risk, and return.

04

No repeatable process

Without stages, owners, and a forecast, the pipeline can't be managed.

What we do

Strategy, product and go-to-market. Built together.

Each one shapes the others, so we work on all three at once.

The motion

Seven stages. One repeatable motion.

A sales process your team can run, measure, and improve, from first target to expansion.

  1. Stage 1

    Target

    Exit: named accounts that fit the ideal customer profile

  2. Stage 2

    Qualify

    Exit: confirmed pain, budget owner, and timeline

  3. Stage 3

    Demo

    Exit: use cases agreed with the decision-maker

  4. Stage 4

    Proof of value

    Exit: success plan met and signed off

  5. Stage 5

    Close

    Exit: contract signed

  6. Stage 6

    Onboard

    Exit: first workflow live and in daily use

  7. Stage 7

    Expand

    Exit: a new team or use case added

The standardEvery stage has documented exit criteria, an owner, and a weekly review.
Proof of value

Pilots that convert.

A pilot should end in a decision. That starts with agreeing what success looks like before day one.

Why work with us

Four reasons.

01

We've run the function

We've carried the number and built the team, from the first hire to 100+ clients.

02

We know how institutions buy

Fifteen years as the buyer means we know the questions before they're asked.

03

Systems your team runs without you

Playbooks, stages, and reviews that keep working after we step back.

04

AI-native go-to-market

Research, outreach, and pipeline work built with AI from day one.

How we start

The first 90 days.

A clear plan from the first week, with something your team can use at the end of each phase.

Days 1–30

Diagnose

Review pipeline, wins, and losses. Interview customers and the team. Map where deals stall.

Days 31–60

Build

Set positioning, stages, exit criteria, and the pilot framework. Put the tooling in place.

Days 61–90

Run

Run the motion on live deals with weekly reviews, then hand it to the team.

The goal: a motion your team runs without the founder in every deal.
