So if you’re a US-based startup, you might be able to shoot slightly higher ;) Unlike SaaS companies which have been around for years, B2B marketplaces are a relatively new category and not many investors have invested in them yet. In general, European rounds tend to be slightly smaller and valuations slightly lower than they are in the US.

If you're generating something that's brand new, like a brand new category, nobody understands about it. Should they focus on the setup, the onboarding flow, the free user experience? What categories or areas (activation, onboarding, monetization, potential stages of the funnel, etc.) You need a lot of education.

Laura: Metrics one of thing people often ask about. Everyone wants to know which metrics they should actually care about. For example, I can give input on the data base schema if I want to, or if I have a strong opinion, but the CTO or the tech lead makes that final call. Balancing business goals with user needs.

Just as a CTO may have to explain the importance of technical projects to a CEO, the CMO needs to educate the CEO on the various ways marketing can drive their business. Beyond that, with new data privacy laws attribution is actually becoming more difficult and less possible than it was 5 or 10 years ago. Look for a new team.

As you said, people take it hard if suddenly you say, “Hey, this is your new EVP. If I wasn’t at the programming background, probably a CTO was a good idea, but for us it was sales, definitely sales and marketing.
