The stakes are too high for cookie-cutter, all-over-the-place strategies.

90% of fintechs fail due to poor product-market fit.

There are over 26,000 fintech startups globally.

42-90% of failures linked to poor go-to-market strategies.

Over 10,000 startups in the U.S. alone.

Only those who validate their ICP and adapt based on feedback, win.

Yet, most fintech startups don’t.

So they have inconsistent sales, which lead to uncontrollable growth, and jeopardizes their entire business.

The only way to solve this is with a clear and intentional collaboration between sales and marketing.

And no, scattered and all-over-the-place strategies will never work.

You know that.

You want (need!) consistent, and predictable sales.

So that you can stop worrying about revenue, and focus on what you do best: building the best product you know only you and your team can build.

No more worrying about investors.

No more stressing over growth.

Or even about “what’s next?”

You need sustainable, and predictable growth. I have a plan to help you:

STEP 01: WE AUDIT.

Most teams already have pieces that work, so we focus on understanding what to keep, what to fix, and what to strengthen instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

STEP 02: THE MAVEN GROWTH LOOP

Sales with a Sprinkle of Marketing.

A 4-pillar circular system that turns fintech strategies into predictable revenue engines.

Define who you sell to and when they are ready.

Everything starts with knowing exactly who you serve. We refine your ICP, tighten your segments, and outline the triggers and behaviors that signal real readiness. This gives your team a cleaner path to a qualified pipeline and a clearer sense of where to spend their time.

PILLAR 01

ICP & Segmentation

Sales Process & Motion Optimization

Convert clarity into predictable revenue.

We make your customers a core part of your growth engine by identifying key milestones, capturing their wins, and turning those outcomes into simple, repeatable proof your team can use across sales and marketing.

PILLAR 02

Turn customers into your most powerful growth asset.

We make your customers a core part of your growth engine by identifying key milestones, capturing their wins, and turning those outcomes into simple, repeatable proof your team can use across sales and marketing.

PILLAR 03

Customer Success & Social Proof Development

Amplify success to drive new demand.

We take your wins and bring them into the market with intention. Your events, content, partnerships, and point of view work together to build credibility and attract the right buyers.

PILLAR 04

Market Presence & Thought Leadership

The next step is making sure your systems can actually support the strategy. I look at how your team works today and identify simple ways to streamline, automate, and remove friction so you can operate with more consistency and less manual effort. The goal is to help your team move faster with cleaner inputs and clearer visibility.

STEP 03: AUTOMATION & REVOPS

Once the GTM engine is running smoothly, we review what your team needs next.

STEP 04: NEXT PHASE PLANNING

The Circular Advantage

Each pillar fuels the next:

Momentum:
Growth compounds with each loop.

Efficiency:
Social proof reduces acquisition costs.

Scalability:
A self-sustaining loop that grows with you.

Quality:
Strong positioning attracts better-fit prospects.

Let's start!

You’ll walk away with:

01.

Clearly defined ICP personas and messaging

02.

A sales process you can use and track

03.

A strategy for showing up in the right places

04.

Demand gen plans and tools that support your goals

05.

A defined tech stack

06.

Confidence in your GTM direction and what to do next

So you start building predictable growth.

CEO, Conductiv

Working with Angi as our Fractional CRO was a fantastic decision for Conductiv. Her deep expertise in credit unions and community banks and strong industry relationships immediately gave us invaluable context into our GTM. She opened doors extremely quickly. Angi helped us refine our sales motion, shorten sales cycles, and build a stronger, more qualified pipeline. She brings real-world insight, focus, and results.

Shivangi Khanna
Co-Founder & CEO, Krida

Angi has been with us since day one and immeasurably shaped our founding journey. She's been an incredible thought partner, but even more, she's been a true partner to us: part coach, part strategist, helping us level up our vision, mindset, and execution.

Matt Arderne
Co-Founder, Sea.dev

Angi has been a huge impact, quickly helping us get oriented in the US FI market, from strategic GTM direction all the way down to immediate tactical help! Tangible impact from day one. Startups are a fight, and Angi really gets it.

Phil Hong
Founder GuideAI

Angi made an impact on GuideAI the moment we connected! As a Board Advisor through RevTech Labs, Angi brought structure, strategy, and clarity to our go-to-market approach. Her experience in fintech and financial institutions helped us better position our product and accelerate early traction with the right partners.

Ashley Keyes
Founder, Rely

Angi was an exceptional advisor who brought deep industry knowledge and strategic direction to every conversation. What made Angi valuable was her ability to challenge our thinking constructively while remaining highly attentive to our specific needs and goals. She consistently pushed us to consider new perspectives and approaches. I highly recommend her to any startup or company looking for an advisor who can provide both strategic guidance and actionable direction.

In a few weeks you too can go from inconsistent, to predictable sales.

I want this

Hi, I’m Angi Milano

I’ve spent 15+ years on both sides of the fintech fence: from traditional banking to (real) cutting-edge startups.

I’ve helped fintech startups sell their solutions. I’ve helped banks buy them.

And now I help companies like yours find their way through it all. With an insider’s perspective.

Most advisors talk a big game, but they’ve never been in the trenches long enough to share more than generic advice inflated with a handful of buzzwords ChatGPT gave them.

I’ve done the work:
