Preparing portfolio companies for Series A and beyond

We are marketing leaders with exit and funding experience who embed directly into portfolio companies to build the foundations investors look for.

We only work with carefully selected startups, committed to helping them grow the right way. Too often, marketing investment in early-stage companies swings with the funding cycle: big hires or agencies when money comes in, cutbacks when it doesn’t. This stop-start approach disrupts growth, wastes investment, and leaves companies less prepared for the milestones ahead.

At Traction Partners, we take a different approach. Between us, we’ve built and scaled marketing through multiple acquisitions and funding rounds — including Planday (acquired by Xero), and ZeroNorth (Series B).

We know what it takes to create the marketing foundations investors expect: clear positioning, scalable engines, and strong commercial alignment. We stay until a company is ready for its own senior marketing headcount, ensuring continuity, momentum, and maximized value creation.
