The "Capital Clock"

Time is Your Scarcest Resource

For every B2B startup, the clock starts ticking the moment you raise capital. You have 18-24 months to prove product-market fit, build repeatable revenue, and set up for your next milestone. Every day without proper GTM infrastructure is a day of lost potential.

The challenge: Building an in-house RevOps team takes 6-12 months of hiring, training, and iteration. By then, you've burned through precious runway without the systems to show for it.

The solution: LeanScale gives you a battle-tested GTM operations team from day one. We've built these systems dozens of times — we know what works, what doesn't, and how to get you operational in weeks, not months.

Key Insight: Companies that invest in GTM operations early see 40% faster pipeline velocity and 30% higher conversion rates within the first year.
