Over the last 15 years (ok almost 20), we’ve worked at some fast-growing B2B startups (Asana, Box, Intercom, Carta, etc). Since starting MKT1 in 2020, we’ve invested in over 50 companies, taught 1000s of marketers and founders in our workshops, and had millions of views of our content. We love helping marketers and founders become better marketers, and that’s what this newsletter is all about.
