Let’s make @djforge dreams come true
Goal for second half of this year: acquire a small SaaS or Webflow Agency 👀 And maybe make enough to finally be an LP for @mkt1cap ⭐

We're doing a (free) talk next week on angel & fund investing for marketers. Join us on Thurs 5/11 at 9 AM PT lu.ma/INVESTINGMARKETERS
You've likely seen the commentary, "1st time founders prioritize product. 2nd time founders prioritize distribution". I like to keep it simpler: the best founders know they need marketing help.

~3 years ago: I was at an inflection point in my career after filing a lawsuit. I felt stuck & scared. ~2 years ago: Right after starting MKT1 Advisory, I got diagnosed w/ non-Hodgkins Lymphoma & did 6 months of chemo during covid ~1 year ago: We started raising our 1st fund

MKT1 Capital is here! Hard to believe that 3 years ago, I had an 8 month old daughter and was trying to figure out what was next. Now I have 2 toddlers, a fund, and a thriving marketing community. How did we get here? newsletter.mkt1.co/p/mkt1-ca…

If you build it, they won’t come. Startups need marketing to win. But most founders & investors don’t have marketing expertise. We built MKT1 Capital, our $10M early-stage fund, to fill this gap. Excited to share our official announcement today: newsletter.mkt1.co/p/mkt1-ca…

Huge congrats to the @plainsupport team on the launch! The next generation of support tools will be API first. Excited for @mkt1cap to be investors in this round.
Today’s a big day for us, with not one but five announcements: Firstly, we're announcing our $6m Seed fundraise co-led by @IndexVentures and @Connect_V, alongside some incredible angels. 👇 journal.plain.com/posts/2022… and a great write-up on Techcrunch: techcrunch.com/2022/11/09/pl…
Answered some of the most commonly asked questions we get from founders and marketers with @lennysan

Excited to be part of @VoriHQ's Series A and help them reach more independent grocers
As CEO and co-founder of @VoriHQ, I am excited to announce the closing of our $10M Series A! 🎉 This investment will allow us to broaden our product to inventory management, and in turn arm the rebels of local & regional supermarkets against Amazon. vori.com/blog/series-a?utm_c…

This year we worked w/ 50+ SaaS startups, invested in 40+ companies (through MKT1 Capital, as angels & through other syndicates), while @emilykramer had 1/2 a year of chemo & @kloughlin had a 2nd kid. Thanks for all the support. We promise there was work/life balance in there too

The first syndicate deal MKT1 made is now public, and it's appropriately a marketing platform. Excited to now be both a former customer and an investor. Congrats @mutinycorp forbes.com/sites/martyswant/…

Busywork is the enemy of high impact marketing. Our GACC framework helps you avoid it.
Marketers spend too much time on busy work. This is a trap we fall into when we focus on quantity of work instead of impactful work from the start. Enter the GACC. mkt1.substack.com/p/the-gacc…

Seems like all marketers can relate to having to jump through hoops to make web updates. It doesn’t have to be this way: mkt1.substack.com/p/your-web…
Reading the excellent article by @emilykramer on why marketing should own the website reminds me of distinctive instances - maybe 3 👀 on when ...
