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

Get started

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:

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.

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.

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:
