The company

We (+paramark.com) are building a product to help Marketers optimize their spend across any number of channels and programs. There are proven scientific ways to do this, but they are poorly understood and practiced by only a tiny fraction of teams. Companies waste millions on campaigns that don’t work, while failing to invest in critical long-term initiatives whose impact is harder to measure. Most are sorely lacking in both measurement and experimentation capability.

We’re fixing this by creating a system of record that teams will use to understand and forecast the impact of their Marketing, as well as to experiment with new ideas. The opportunity is huge: 300k+ mid-market businesses worldwide, spending $1T on marketing annually, with a large chunk of that going to waste. Our target customer spends between $10M and $100M on Marketing annually.

We founded the company in 2023 and are seeing strong traction. We have four recurring customers, including one enterprise household name, 11 pilots in various stages of execution or onboarding, and 20+ in early sales stages.

We work 3-5 days a week from our office in Burlingame, CA. We thrive on in-person collaboration, but we also want to strike the right balance and give everyone the flexibility they need.

We’ve raised a $2M pre-seed round and are backed by investors including WndrCo, Kleiner Perkins, Recall Capital, and Position Ventures. We also have prominent angels including former/current execs of companies like Dropbox, Salesforce, PagerDuty, Miro, Webflow, Asana, Pilot, Otter.ai, Zepz, Path, Dover and Maergo.

  • You will lead the process of defining product requirements for your projects, making sure that we are building the right thing.
