Buyers decide which tools to evaluate before they talk to sales, often inside ChatGPT, Google and their LinkedIn feed. Every engagement works through four layers that get your product onto that shortlist.

Pruthvi has built marketing from the inside: launches, campaigns, websites and the hires that run them. Pruthvi treats marketing as a system to design, measure and improve. The Last Mile is where that thinking gets written down, studying how AI companies win attention and turn it into pipeline.

Alongside them. I set the positioning and the marketing system, so the people you already have know what to say, where to say it and how to measure it. If you haven’t made a marketing hire yet, I can cover that gap and help you hire well when it’s time.
It depends on what is missing. A consultant fits when nobody can yet say clearly who the product is for and which channels work. A fractional CMO fits when there is a team to lead, and an agency when a channel is proven and needs volume. I compared all three in Fractional CMO vs marketing consultant vs agency.
Both. Strategy comes first: positioning, channels and a plan. Then I build the system with your team, from the publishing workflow to the launch assets, so it keeps running without me in the room.
It’s a good fit. I trained as an engineer, so I can read your docs, use the product and talk to your engineers. The job is translating what it does into the problem a buyer recognizes.
Yes. It’s part of the Surfaces layer. We track the questions your buyers ask AI assistants, see who gets cited, and work on the pages, reviews and mentions that shape those answers. I wrote about the approach in How to get your SaaS recommended by ChatGPT and Perplexity.
In pipeline. We track demo requests and where they came from, what buyers say on calls about how they heard of you, and how often AI assistants name you. You get a monthly review of what to keep, cut and double down on.
Positioning, website and channel changes can ship in the first few weeks. Pipeline from content takes longer to build, so we track early signals from the first week, like replies, demo requests and mentions in AI answers, and you can see the trend before the revenue shows up.
It depends on scope and stage. After the call you get a short written proposal with the plan, how we’ll measure it and the price.
Yes. If a portfolio company needs help with marketing or go-to-market, send them my way.
