Tell HN: Paying it forward: Free day of consulting with marketing guru

Actually, I’m not sure guru is the right word. I don’t like the word “expert,” and don’t get me started on “maven.”

Anyway, here’s the deal. The holidays are here so, I thought I would spread some cheer with 10 startups by providing a day worth of marketing consulting. I normally charge between $300-$500 an hour, so you’re getting a good deal.

Here’s the things I can help you develop: Market Assessment Go-to market strategy Branding/messaging Viral marketing tactics SEO/SEM PR plan

It all depends on what your particular needs are.

Here’s what I expect from the folks I work with: Be a small founding team: 2-3 engineers Have some traction: alpha product or angel money or VC meetings Be prepared to spend a whole day to work with me Must be in Bay Area or (if you spring for Southwest) Seattle/LA

About me: 12 years of marketing experience Worked in social media, mobile, security, consumer electronics and SAAS Launched companies at TechCrunch Disrupt Secured coverage in Advertising Age, NYTimes, USA Today, etc. Former co-founder of venture-backed startup
