The one hire I don't need, and none of my portfolio cos need, is a "Strategist"

I know at certain stage in many folks' career, that's what they want to do

Advise on strategy more than do work themselves

No criticism

But most startups only need a few hours of this at a time

SaaStr AI 2026 is May 12-14 in SF Bay!! See You There!!

My #1 piece of advice for GTM leaders in January 2026: Deploy an AI agent yourself.  Now.  This month.  Don't hire an agency. Don't tell someone on your team to do it.  Do it yourself.  Roll up those sleeves again. 

Deploy an AI agent into production, for real, yourself. with Lenny Rachitsky

And for junior sales & GTM folks? Embrace it. Be the one that embraces every bit of output from AI Agents.

Most companies don’t have a *marketing* problem. They have a *systems* problem.

I’m the CEO of Hypelocal. We build profitable growth systems powered by demand generation marketing + AI automation. Marketing spend becomes predictable revenue, and operations get smoother as you scale.  

> Who we help
SaaS, eCommerce, and hyperlocal businesses that want to increase sales, improve profitability, and scale faster without adding excessive people costs. 

> What we build (2 pillars)
1) Demand generation marketing (full-funnel, revenue-tied)

* Full-funnel strategy + core funnel design
* Conversion-optimized websites/landing pages
* Paid acquisition + content systems tied to revenue
* Ongoing optimization based on clear performance data 

2) AI automation (RevOps + ops speed)
We connect platforms, clean up data, and automate execution so teams can move faster without adding headcount: 

* Workflow automations + system integrations + data sync
* Automated reporting & dashboards (real-time, no spreadsheet heroics)
* Lead-to-close automations, lifecycle + email automation
* Intelligent chatbots, AI agents, and agentic multi-step workflows
* Custom micro-apps built with APIs and/or MCP
* Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

> Proof
We have served hundreds of businesses all over the globe. Our work has generated $600M+ revenue, 40,000+ sales-qualified leads, and thousands of automations saving hundreds of thousands of hours. 

> How we work
Revenue-first, modern, technical, and hands-on. We also back our work with an 8-week money-back guarantee.  

If you’re dealing with:
* marketing spend that doesn’t convert
* manual work + broken systems
* no clear visibility into what’s working
