We help marketing candidates find new roles, share deal flow with active and aspiring marketing angels, write a newsletter, and teach cohort-based courses.
One of our goals for MKT1 is to champion other startup marketers.
We like to help marketers grow in their careers and share opportunities with other marketers—from new roles to angel investing and advising opportunities.
We work with marketers to identify their next career move and make intros to companies we work with (mostly Seed-Series C).
We're offer a course on becoming a more impactful marketing leader. Its collaborative, hopefully fun, and definitely useful.
We have over 50 marketers as limited partners in our fund.
We occasionally advise Series A-C marketing leaders. We've worked with leaders at Sprig, BigPanda, Oyster, Vanta, Seesaw, and more.

We're ex-startup marketing leaders turned investors. We love helping other marketers figure out their path.
