I help
startups scale

with smart marketing
and early-stage capital

Proudly featured in

 

Hi, I’m Josh Bluman, and I invest in and work with startup founders to quickly reach 10M+ in revenue through proven marketing methods and investment capital.

I only work with a select number of companies each year, and only companies that I believe I can seriously grow to a
Series A level.

 
 
 

What kind of companies
do I work with?

I focus on working with Canadian and US-based early stage startups primarily in SAAS and Ecommerce with high growth potential. I work best with companies where there is already a working product, annual revenues between $100K - $3M, and a need for a marketing partner (and capital, if required) to really drive their growth forward.


Benefits of working with me

Get a Head of Marketing with a proven track record

 

I am a well-rounded marketer with 10+ years experience starting and growing businesses.

I built my first few e-commerce companies over 7 years ago generating millions in revenue, and since then have partnered with several other startups, achieving growth rates of 3x to 45x in short time periods.

Over this time I have developed a process to consistently, rapidly, and profitably grow startups using a pragmatic, data-driven approach to marketing.

Get expertise that most startups can’t afford


 

Often startups are unaware that it’s possible for them to afford a VP-level marketing lead, which can lead to much faster and more profitable growth in a way that also minimizes risks.

I make this possible by condensing my time to just a few days per week, giving you the very best of my time to do the tasks that really need doing for early startups, vs paying for a full time VP of Marketing.

This efficient work schedule, sometimes combined with an equity partnership often makes hiring me an affordable solution for startups that want to achieve high growth.

Get a marketer who works in your best interest


 

I’m 100% transparent with how I do business and believe in setting realistic forecasts and expectations. I’m often open to finding ways to align our interests, be it through equity, performance-based incentives, or other arrangements.

Access capital & a network of expertise


 

I have access to a growing number of investors interested in participating in the projects I’m getting involved with. My network also consists of experts in marketing, finance, legal, and more—all which you will benefit from if working with me.

I only work with startups I really believe I can grow

 

I have a thorough due diligence process I go through before working with or investing in any startup. This allows me to determine if your business is a good fit and something I’m confident I can grow. I’m always 100% transparent about potential risks, and if working together doesn’t make sense I will let you know. Of the last 5 companies I’ve worked with, every single one has experienced huge growth, and I’m happy to share my references to prove it.
