Vetted Business Development Managers in the Bay Area

“COO of Greenopia (pre-seed, pre-revenue) who has built the company’s operational foundation over the past 18 months—supporting fundraising, SEC/crowdfunding setup, and coordinating app and self-serve business onboarding/assessment systems. Brings a metrics-driven operating approach (OKRs, balancing metrics/unit economics) and has advised other startups (e.g., sports betting) to refocus effort on the highest-value customer segments.”

“Candidate explicitly states they focus on SaaS and software (not hardware/GPU infrastructure) and withdrew their application due to the role’s hyperscaler/AI infrastructure focus and screening criteria.”

“Early-stage/first sales hire profile with strong outbound motion and process-building experience. Self-sourced and closed a $2.8M Yahoo deal (8-month cycle) using a shared mutual plan to manage stakeholders and timelines, and has recent mid-market ACV wins selling Mapistry to environmental compliance managers by enabling champions to secure internal budget. Has also implemented MEDDICC and built foundational GTM assets (e.g., Quantcast’s first sales deck used in $2B+ of closed business).”

“Sales professional focused on staffing/talent operations and GTM enablement solutions, with a disciplined outbound motion (ICP, org mapping, multi-threading across calls/LinkedIn/email). Has examples of winning mid-market deals ($30K–$60K) and expanding an account to ~$52K ACV, plus building early-stage sales process rigor (MEDDICC, pipeline reviews) that produced predictable pipeline in ~90 days and shortened cycles by ~20%.”

“Founder/operator who turned around an underperforming nightlife/hospitality venture by rebuilding the operating system end-to-end—SOPs, dashboards, staffing/onboarding, pricing/promotions, and weekly forecasting/reporting. Demonstrates strong zero-to-one and ambiguity-to-clarity execution with a metrics-driven operating cadence across GTM, finance, and people operations.”
