Congratulations on securing your Series A funding! This milestone represents more than just financial backing—it’s the foundation for transforming your bold vision into market leadership. But scaling your startup isn’t just about having a great product or even a solid go-to-market (GTM) framework. It’s about building a high-performing, cross-functional marketing engine that can execute seamlessly and deliver results fast.
At Invado Group, we’ve helped founders in high-stakes industries like Healthcare IT and Cybersecurity navigate the complex path from Series A funding to scalable success. Here’s what you need to know to bridge the gap between potential and performance.
Beyond the Framework: The Need for a Cross-Functional Marketing Team
A GTM framework provides the strategy, but execution demands a unified, multi-disciplinary team. Scaling requires synchronized expertise in:
- Strategy: From market entry to scaling tactics, you need actionable plans that drive traction.
- Messaging and Positioning: Crafting narratives that resonate with buyers and differentiate you from competitors.
- Digital Marketing: Running data-driven campaigns that deliver measurable pipeline growth.
- Sales Enablement: Equipping your sales team with the tools and content they need to convert leads into customers.
- Web Operations: Ensuring your digital presence can scale and support growth.
- Marketing and Sales Operations: Aligning systems and data for seamless collaboration and reporting.
Each of these areas is critical—and they must work together as an integrated whole. Fragmented efforts or siloed teams slow execution and dilute results.
The Power of Domain Expertise
Your marketing team must do more than execute tactics; they need to deeply understand your vertical and industry. Domain expertise enables them to anticipate market dynamics, speak the language of your buyers, and deliver relevant, high-impact campaigns.
For instance:
- Healthcare IT: Understanding compliance challenges, patient data security, and evolving healthcare delivery models.
- Cybersecurity: Navigating concerns like risk mitigation, regulatory frameworks, and advanced threat detection.
- Key Technologies: Leveraging AI, ML, and predictive analytics to highlight the transformative impact of your solution.
By aligning your marketing efforts with the nuances of your industry, you create more meaningful connections with your audience and accelerate decision-making.
The Investment Question: What Does It Take?
Building an in-house marketing team with this level of expertise isn’t just time-consuming—it’s expensive. You’d need to invest in hiring mid-career specialists across multiple disciplines, onboard them, and integrate them into your organization.
Here’s the reality: hiring a single mid-career marketing professional focused on GTM can cost you six figures annually, and they’ll still need a team around them to be effective.
At Invado Group, we provide an entire cross-functional, embedded team for less than that single hire. This includes strategy, execution, and domain-specific expertise, delivering everything you need to scale without breaking the bank.
Why Time is the Ultimate Bottleneck
Scaling isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how quickly you can do it. Building an internal marketing team from scratch takes months, from recruitment to onboarding and beyond. Worse, even a slight misstep in hiring can derail your momentum.
That’s where Invado Group’s embedded teams come in.
