We’ve worked at some fast-growing SaaS companies (Asana, Box, Intercom, Carta, etc.) over the last 15 years, building marketing and operations teams. We’ve now worked with 50+ seed-Series B startups through MKT1. We love helping marketers and founders become better marketers, and that’s what this newsletter is all about.
