Questions

What founders ask us first.

Who is in the seat?

A Silex founder. You get the person who wrote the plan in your leadership meetings, not a delegate.

How much time does the CMO spend with us?

It is set in the scope: a fixed amount of time each month, with standing leadership time and access between meetings. It flexes up for a launch or a show season.

What happens when we hire a full-time CMO?

We plan for it from day one. We help define the role, support the search, and hand over the plan, the programs, and the reporting so your new leader starts with momentum.

Will you work with our existing agency?

Yes. Managing agencies and vendors is part of the role. We keep what is working and replace what is not, based on results.

Is this only for AI companies?

No. Our focus is AI, cloud, and B2B technology, where our team has spent its career. The model works for any B2B tech company building pipeline.
