Pair with Digital Marketing & Growth when you are ready to scale campaigns.

- Inbox + calendar so investors and customers get timely replies.
- CRM hygiene so pipeline truth survives the week.
- Research (investors, partners) in a one-page template.
- Tier-one support with your macros.
- Content or social execution after messaging is set.

30-day startup VA playbook
Week 1: access + one lane live. Week 2: add lane two if lane one is green. Week 3–4: tighten SLAs and reporting. External context: SBA learning resources for operations discipline.
Pro tip: Do not hire for ten tools on day one. One lane, one owner, one weekly metric.
