I met the CEO of H&R Block at my college bar, and talked my way into an interview. He had recently hired a young, 32-year-old McKinsey consultant called Kush. Kush gave me a call, saw a little of himself in me and decided to hire me on the spot. 

Here's what I did:

- Research – Pricing research for in-store retails services. Looked at competitor, industry and market data. Presented recommendation of pricing and impact to bottom line directly to the CEO and other execs

New role announcement!

Last year, I took on my most important and challenging role yet:

husband

I got married a year ago to my love - and it’s completely changed how I think about building my life

Before getting married - I only thought about myself. My career, hobbies, travel, aspirations, interests. Me, me, me. 

But having a partner seeing you in close quarters day in and day out is the ultimate mirror. Makes you start thinking long term about things that are bigger than you

A lit bit about Natasha:

> She’s not in tech - keeps me sane and reminds me there is life beyond SaaS

> Her focus is women's health and bodies, and bridging the gender health gap

> By day, she’s an entrepreneur - building a women’s health clinic (pelvic floor, physio, clinical pilates)

> By night, she’s a budding poet and women’s health speaker

> On weekends, we’re both ex-athletes trying to hang onto our glory days 😂

> Her lens on life is completely romantic - always asking “what is still lovely?”

> Massive prirority towards family and fun

> Supports all my LinkedIn posts, however bad

Excited to have someone like her in my corner. 

Wish me luck!

Growth @ Coworker.ai | ex-Gong, Addepar and other unicorns

How to do Product / Brand Launches: 

I've built a 10-week launch playbook that regularly generates millions of impressions.

We used it last week to launch Coworker.ai earlier this year and hit:
1,000,000+ social impression
25 media outlets
250+ inbound demos


Here's How:


Every founder dreams of launching with a big bang. Most fail miserably.

Not because the product is bad. But because they treat launches like an afterthought - something scrambled together a week before going live.

Two fundamental truths about launches:

1/ Launching isn’t about releasing a product - it’s about claiming mindshare

2/ The best founders launch consistently.

Take OpenAI and Anthropic. They launch almost weekly now, even when the capability has been around for weeks (like Perplexity for Finance - no new features, just claiming mindshare).

While you should launch all the time, not all launches are equal:

P0 launch: Launch the company itself - not just a product, but a worldview about why things must change

P1 launch: Major new products or markets.

P2 launch: Features and updates.

-

P0 launches matter most. They’re about establishing that a problem exists that shouldn't. This is counterintuitive because founders love their solutions.

But customers don't care about your solution until they agree with your problem.

Artisan AI's recent launch nailed this: They didn't launch "AI sales agents". They launched the idea that human salespeople were becoming obsolete.

Controversial? Yes.
Memorable? Absolutely.

Did it work? They raised their $20M+ Series A weeks later

P0 launches should feel risky.

If your launch feels safe, you're probably doing a P2 when you think you're doing a P0.

The difference matters because P0 launches create categories, while P2 launches iterate within them.

3 common mistakes most founders make with P0 launches:

1. They try to look legitimate instead of being memorable.

2. They launch to everyone vs someone: A P0 launch needs emotional specificity. You're not just solving a problem; you're creating a feeling (fear of falling behind, excitement about what’s possible, etc). Pick one. Own it completely.

3. They think of the launch as an event. Really, it's a 10-12 week campaign (before and after launch)

With a P0 launch, you're launching a worldview. 
The product is just proof it’s actionable.

I broke down my entire 10 week launch process in this podcast interview with Pascal Unger from focal .vc  (link to podcast episode in comments)

---

Want the detailed 10-week launch playbook?

Drop "launch" in the comments and I'll send it over

Call me old school, but I like startup names that are clear over clever.

Names I prefer:

Salesforce.... is a better name than... Hubspot 
HeyReach... is a better names than... Trigify
Outreach... is a better name than... Apollo
Intently... is a better name than... Pocus
Salesloft... is a better name than... Clari
RB2B... is a better name than... Vector
Airtable... is a better name than... Notion
WeWork... is a better name than ...

(This doesn’t mean they are better products or companies. Just strictly better names)

Consumer / PLG tech is full of great examples:

- Facebook
- Instagram
- Snapchat
- Dropbox
- OkCupid
- Linkedin
- Netflix
- PayPal
- Canva
- Gmail

They do this because recall value is critical for consumer brands

There are some amazing exceptions offcourse: Tinder, Twitter, Slack, Spotify etc


Sometimes, startups need to rebrand when they outgrow their starting category.

Examples:

Grammarly → Superhuman
KeepTruckin → Motive
TripActions → Navan
RealTimeBoard → Miro


But if you’re a startup, a clear name is better than a clever name in the early days.

Because people can immediately guess what category you might be in.

Which helps recall

I try to live by this principle:

Current startup: Coworker.ai 
(AI coworkers)

My wife's startup: Joybody Physio & Pilates
(joyful body movement)

My agency: LAUNCHMOB 
(launch marketing)

My previous company: data.ai (by Sensor Tower) 
(ai data)

-----

What's your take - clear or clever names?

If you’re running paid ads, read this: 

Kristin Fracchia recently broke down how Gamma grew to $100M profitably. 

One of her secret weapons:

B2B Influencer marketing  

I attended her live session at the AI x Marketing Summit in SF last week 

Interesting to see how influencer rates are starting to mirror the paid ads on each platform 

BUT, with the added advantage that they convert better, are more trustworthy and creates longer term evangelists for the brand 

$20 CPM on LinkedIn 
$5-15 on other platforms 

They run a whole influencer marketing program, testing multiple small / medium sized creators across several campaigns 

This works well for a brand like Gamma that has a prosumer gtm, with a great free product. 

—

I’m thinking of running a few tests in Q1 - curious what you’ve performance you’ve seen for B2B influencer marketing 

Do you think this would work for trad b2b SaaS?
