# The Growthpreneur by Mac Gangumalla — Revenue Systems for B2B SaaS > The Growthpreneur is the portfolio and operating home of Mac Gangumalla, an independent growth operator and fractional Head of Marketing for Series A-C B2B SaaS, AI, and Web3 companies. Canonical domain: https://thegrowthpreneur.com/. WWW alias: https://www.thegrowthpreneur.com/. Based in Bengaluru, India, serving US hours (EST / PST). 13+ years in-house and consulting experience. Thesis: "I build revenue systems that don't need you to babysit them." Focus on pipeline generation over vanity metrics — measures engagements in revenue, not impressions. Mac operates as a direct operator, not an agency. The person clients hire is the person who executes. Every deliverable is shipped by Mac personally, with no junior team, no bloated retainers, and 30-day notice periods. Every engagement leaves behind a compounding system — not one-off campaigns. ## Track record - $35M+ in pipeline generated across six documented engagements. - $2M+ in closed revenue delivered organically (zero paid spend) over 16 months for IQLECT. - $80M fundraise attributed to an ABM + CXO roundtable program for an HR SaaS platform. - 12,000+ developer community built from scratch for BangDB. - 700,000 monthly website visitors scaled from 50,000 via SEO + content. - 78% customer acquisition cost reduction (£18 → £4) during Ford Warranty Direct's acquisition transition. - Two ICOs launched at NexChange HK, raising $316M cumulative funding. - Gartner FrontRunner recognition three years running. - First marketing hire 8 times across AI, SaaS, and data companies. - 50+ startups served in-house or as a fractional operator. ## Services Mac sells three productized engagements, not open-ended retainers. ### Fundraise Pipeline - Duration: 6 months, raise window. - Outcome: investor demand engine for Series A-C founders 60-180 days from a raise. - Deliverables: investor narrative and deck pressure-test, investor ICP, 200-account target list across VCs/family offices/strategics, sequenced outreach to GPs and partners, CEO LinkedIn positioning, and investor-facing content. - Fit: founders with a strong story but no investor pipeline yet. Marketing and enablement only; capital placement runs through the company team and counsel. ### GTM Operating System - Duration: 6 months, ship and handoff. - Outcome: fractional growth leader on founder mode until the GTM system is live and an FTE can take it forward. - Deliverables: positioning, ICP, messaging, SEO/AEO, ABM, outbound, content, paid media, weekly founder cadence, attribution, and handoff docs. - Fit: Series A-C companies with PMF where the PMM/Head of Marketing just left or was never hired. ### $6M+ Pipeline Mandate - Duration: 12 months, outcome-anchored. - Outcome: one operator owning the pipeline number across five growth pillars. - Deliverables: contracted pipeline number, AI Intelligence, SEO/inbound, outbound/ABM, events and thought leadership, partner channels, direct execution, and weekly review. - Fit: Series A-C companies with PMF whose founders want one accountable growth operator rather than four vendors. ## How Mac works — three-step operating system 1. **Diagnose bottlenecks** — two weeks of win/loss analysis, ICP audit, funnel teardown, and positioning pressure-test. Output: a map of what is leaking revenue, not a slide deck. 2. **Build the pipeline system** — messaging, landing pages, outbound sequences, ABM lists, content engine, and attribution wired together as one compounding system. 3. **Automate and scale** — AI agents and internal tools absorb repeatable work. The client keeps the system after engagement; Mac does not rent it back to them. ## Case studies ### IQLECT — $6.4M pipeline from organic, zero paid spend Industry: B2B SaaS (real-time analytics platform).

Every Slack message is Mac, not an account manager. - No bloated retainers. Fixed scopes or 30-day notice periods. - Direct operator execution. 13 years in-house and consulting, founding marketer 8 times. - Systems over campaigns. Every engagement leaves a compounding asset behind. ## Ideal client scenarios - Just raised a round and need pipeline generation live in 90 days. - The previous Head of Marketing or PMM just left and the company needs interim leadership. - An AI, data, or developer-tools product needs founding-marketer positioning to reach non-technical buyers. - A founder is tired of agency decks and wants an operator who ships. ## Contact and booking - Website: https://thegrowthpreneur.com/ - Canonical llms.txt: https://thegrowthpreneur.com/llms.txt - Email: macharayya@live.com - Phone: +91 98855 27789 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lemniscate - Location: Bengaluru, India. - Hours: US EST / PST availability. - Current availability: booking Q2 2026. - Preferred intake: a 30-minute working session (no deck).
