I work with B2B SaaS founders at the moment founder-led sales starts to break.

Between $500K and $10M ARR, something predictable happens.

Deals stall.
Buyers sound interested but do not move.
Messaging drifts.
Pressure builds to add process, hire a sales leader, or professionalize before the motion is ready.

Most founders respond by doing more.
The real problem is almost always clarity.


I have lived this stage and studied it at scale.

Earlier in my career, I joined a B2B startup as the first sales hire. My title was VP, but the work was founding AE. I carried the bag, built the motion from nothing, and helped take the business from zero to $10M ARR.

I then spent six years in sales leadership roles at Salesforce, where process, scale, and inspection matter.

More recently, I have spent the last year in deep, weekly conversations with 200+ B2B SaaS founders under $10M ARR who are selling in real markets with real constraints.

Different companies.
Different markets.
The same inflection point shows up again and again.

Founder intuition creates early traction.
Then, without adjustment, it starts to introduce risk.


What I actually do

I step in to:

  • identify the single GTM bottleneck slowing everything else down

  • restore buyer clarity

  • remove unnecessary complexity

  • help founders decide what to do now, what to ignore, and what to delay

No theory.
No enterprise bloat.
No pretending you have a sales organization before the motion exists.


How this work is designed

The SPRINT framework was not created in a workshop.

It was built by observing where founders succeed, where they hesitate, and where early sales motions quietly break.

The work is intentionally:

  • short

  • focused

  • outcome-driven

It exists to reduce GTM risk at the exact moment it starts to compound.


Who this is for and who it is not

This work is for founders who:

  • are still personally involved in selling

  • feel pressure to scale but do not trust the obvious moves

  • want clarity before adding headcount or process

It is not for:

  • teams looking for motivation

  • founders who want a generic sales playbook

  • companies ready for a full enterprise sales org


If you are carrying GTM risk alone, you do not have to guess.

The goal is simple.
Clear decisions. Faster momentum. Fewer irreversible mistakes.

If this reflects where you are right now, you will recognize yourself in how I work.
