Josh Norris

Josh Norris is a strategic leader in capital-efficient GTM design and post-raise execution for high-growth SaaS companies. He partners with founders and CFOs to ensure new capital converts into predictable, investor-grade revenue systems rather than uncontrolled burn.

He has advised 60+ Series A-D startups, helping teams eliminate burn drift, professionalize reporting, and build GTM infrastructure that supports follow-on funding. His work has contributed to multiple clients reaching seven-figure ARR within their first year and advancing to subsequent rounds.

Josh previously led GTM, revops, partnerships, and business development at Hyperbound, scaling from zero to $5M ARR in under two years, and at Lavender during the 2022 downturn. He also managed a 36-engineer organization at a publicly traded SaaS company, giving him a rare systems-level perspective on how revenue, product, and capital deployment align.

The moment the wire hits the bank is the most dangerous point in a startup's lifecycle. Josh operates as the architecture partner between board expectations and execution, ensuring every dollar deployed compounds.
