Helping startups stand out and win

Marketing can make or break a startup. Great marketing is persuasive not preachy. Inspiring not instructive. It doesn't just communicate, it connects.

A great product needs great marketing. Let’s talk.

Startups I've helped

How I help founders

001

Interim/Fractional CMO

I help early to growth stage startups establish a strong marketing foundation for growth and help them hire their first marketer.

002

Positioning & Messaging

Need to stand out in a crowded category? Create a new category or reinvent a tired, old category? I’ve done it all.  

003

Naming & Brand Strategy

Positioning goes for the head, branding for the heart. I excel in telling a differentiated story and building a customer-centric brand.

004

GTM Strategy & Plan

Great products fail without a strong GTM strategy. I help startups build an actionable GTM strategy and marketing plan to achieve their goals.

005

Rapid Launch

In just six weeks, I can help you  bring your product to market and have a successful launch.

006

Advisory Services

I advice and support first-time founders who need to learn the GTM function as well as
first-time marketing leaders.

Rigorous, proven methodology applied at over 25+ startups.

I specialize in working with first-time founders and early to growth-stage startups (late seed-series B). I'm hands-on and deeply invested in founder success.

Founder Words

The positioning work we did with Hema was foundational. It helped us get clarity, share a coherent message, and ultimately raise our Series A.

Hema proved to be a great advisor and I deeply valued her insights and marketing expertise. She has the highest level of integrity, humility, and courage. I strongly recommend her.

Oz Alon

Nailing down positioning requires specific set of skills. Hema understood what made us unique. There was a Livestorm before working with Hema and an after. I’m glad we were introduced!

Gilles Bertaux
CEO and Co-founder

We had a great experience working with Hema. She brought clarity and cohesion across the marketing, product, and engineering teams, helping us create the foundation that will help us win.

Gary Zurnamer

Thanks to Hema's collaborative process, it is now crystal clear for our team, prospect, and customers who we are and what makes us different.

Steven Fabre
CEO and Co-founder

Hema's ability to quickly understand our product, the market, customer needs, and how to talk about Abstract was critical to our successful Public launch. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
