Growth for Dev Tools

We help dev tools founders build growth channels that scale.

Dev tools growth is different—PLG, community-driven adoption, bottom-up sales all require a different playbook than traditional B2B. We help you figure out the right motion for your product and market.

Companies we've worked with

What you get

Find Product-Market Fit

Validate a new product, pivot, or adjacent market before you invest months building. We interview users and run experiments to find out if there's real demand.

You get: a clear picture of who to sell to and how.

Build a Growth Channel

Deep customer research, ICP development, and figuring out your GTM motion—whether that's PLG, community-led, sales-assisted, or some combination.

You get: ICP documentation, messaging that resonates, and a working acquisition channel.

Founder Coaching

A thinking partner for growth strategy, go-to-market decisions, or the broader challenges of building a company. Ongoing support, not a one-time engagement.

You get: a sounding board and a concrete plan for your next steps.

How it works

1

Discovery

We start with a conversation about where you are, what's working, and what's not.

2

Research

We interview your users, analyze your data, and research your market to understand what's driving adoption and what's blocking it.

3

Build

We create the systems, messaging, and processes you need—and help you implement them.

4

Handoff

We document everything and help you hire or train the team to run it going forward.

Why work with us instead of hiring?

At the early stage, you need someone who's navigated PLG, bottom-up adoption, and community-driven growth before—not someone learning on the job. We bring experience from dozens of companies in the space, so you can skip the mistakes we've already made.

Faster results

No ramp-up time. We've done this before and can start producing work immediately.

Broader experience

We bring lessons from dozens of companies. A new hire brings experience from one or two.

Right-sized commitment

Hire us for a project, not a salary. When we've built the system, we help you hire someone to run it.

Who we are

I've spent my career helping early-stage companies build their first growth channels. I bootstrapped and sold a travel company, ran growth for B2B SaaS at Xenon Partners, and have been doing ICP research and GTM strategy for dev tools companies since 2019.

I specialize in dev tools and developer-focused businesses—products where bottom-up adoption, OSS dynamics, and community-driven growth require a different playbook than traditional B2B.
