Simplify your path to building and growing a startup
We partner with founders who have the passion to solve a big problem, the vision for how to solve it, and the tenacity to do the work.
Our name is a nod to the 5/4 time signature often used in jazz music. The best startups are like jazz bands: everyone brings unique talent, and they can each solo with the best. But they make beautiful music when playing together.
When founders add us to the band, we bring experience building design and marketing teams and advising on growth strategy for dozens of startups over the past decade. Sometimes we bring the sheet music with marketing strategies, other times, we conduct by directing marketers and designers.
