For VCs & Portfolio Teams

    I Help Your Portfolio CompaniesNail Developer GTM

    Most developer-first startups struggle with positioning and go-to-market — not because the product is weak, but because they lack senior marketing muscle. 12+ years at JetBrains, Huawei, and 20+ startups. I help your portfolio companies ship GTM that works and scale with AI-powered automation.

    The Challenge VCs Know Well

    Your portfolio companies build incredible technology. But when it comes to explaining what it does, who it's for, and why developers should care — they freeze. The result: slow adoption, muddled messaging, and missed market windows.

    Hiring a VP of Marketing at Seed or Series A is expensive and risky. Agencies don't understand developer audiences. What they need is a senior PMM who's been in the trenches at companies like JetBrains and can hit the ground running.

    That's where I come in.

    Why VCs Partner With Me

    Developer-First Expertise

    12+ years in developer marketing, including 7 at JetBrains. I understand how developers evaluate, adopt, and champion tools — and how to build GTM around that.

    Startup-Native

    I've worked with 20+ startups across DevTools, Cybersecurity, and AI/ML. I know the constraints and what moves the needle at each stage.

    Strategy + Execution

    I don't hand off a strategy deck and leave. I embed with the team, ship work, and make sure the GTM motion actually runs.

    Portfolio-Level Efficiency

    Work with me across multiple portfolio companies. Shared frameworks, faster ramp, and consistent quality across your investments.

    Best Fit Portfolio Companies

    I work best with technical B2B companies where the product is strong but the GTM needs sharpening.

    >>Seed to Series B developer-first startups
    >>DevTools, Cybersecurity, AI/ML, and open-source infra
    >>Companies with strong tech but weak GTM or positioning
    >>Teams preparing for a major launch or repositioning
    >>Portfolio companies that need PMM but aren't ready for a full-time hire
