Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, 396 Signals LLC provides consulting services and strategic advice with a focus on startups and software. This covers everything from technology, open-source software, software infrastructure, and emerging areas of innovation to product management and go-to-market (GTM) strategies including product-led growth, sales, community building, and marketing.
We help startups implement their initial GTM efforts in a cost-effective manner. This covers target persona identification, setting up marketing including PR and AR, and driving early sales.
To scale engineering teams, we help in identifying and fixing bottlenecks, implementing best practices, and reducing overhead, and adding minimal (or removing unnecessary) processes.
With the goal of achieving Product Market Fit, we help with product position, MVP definition, clarifying requirements, rapid feature iteration, pricing, and defining success metrics.
We prepare teams for fundraising by refining the vision, presenting a clear and relevant story that reflects the company's potential, and building amazing pitch decks that will engage investors.
Have questions? Think we might be able to help? Feel free to contact us at any time.
We also provide pro bono services for startups with founders belonging to an under-represented minority in technology.
