Fractional Head of Sales / For healthcare founders

We guide
your go-to-market motion.

Early-stage healthcare startups don't need a 50-person sales team. They need someone who's been here before. Move quickly, learn what works, scale what does. Built for founders selling into providers, pharma, payers, and pharmacy.

Three problems every founder selling in healthcare runs into.

A.
The pipeline is
your calendar.

Every deal lives in the founder's head. There's no system, no playbook, and no one else who can move a deal forward without you on the call.

B.
You can't hire
your way out yet.

A full Head of Sales costs $300K+. You can't justify it pre-Series A, but you also can't keep being the only one selling. The middle option doesn't exist on most job boards.

C.
Healthcare buyers don't behave like SaaS buyers.

Selling to providers, pharma, or payers is a different sport. The frameworks your investors share don't fit. You need someone who's actually closed in this space.

Experience over copy-paste playbooks.

A good guide has walked the path before, and knows where founders get stuck. Fourteen years of healthcare sales means I've already run this motion at Capsule, Stepful, and Canid. No imported SaaS playbooks. No copy-pasted cadences. Just focused experiments, fast feedback, and scaled investment in what's actually working for your buyer.

Every engagement moves through five stages. Most founders are stuck somewhere between Observe and Refine. They have signal but can't turn it into a motion. That's where we plug in.

Stage 01
Start

Audit. ICP definition. Founder-deal teardown. The first 10 conversations get scripted.

Stage 02
Adjust

Messaging tests, channel selection, cold outreach sequences calibrated to your buyer.

Stage 03
Observe

Pipeline metrics, win/loss reviews, objection patterns. We measure what's working.

Stage 04
Refine

The motion repeats, and it's no longer dependent on you. Now we document it for your first sales hire.

Stage 05
Scale

Hire the AE. Onboard them on the playbook. Stay on for the first 90 days of their ramp.

Two ways to work together.

Fourteen years inside healthcare sales.

Most "fractional" GTM advisors come from B2B SaaS and try to retrofit those playbooks onto healthcare. We work in the other direction, bringing built-in healthcare sales fluency to early-stage startups, with operator-grade execution.
