We exist to be the most impactful investor on your cap table.
We don't take board seats and we think VC advice is overrated.
Instead, we roll up our sleeves and work with you on three fronts.
01
Help you recruit a team that tilts the power law
Our belief is that the single biggest ingredient to startup success is an exceptional team. But recruiting an exceptional team is also super hard.
At Audacious, we’ve built a recruiting engine that accelerates your path to a 10x founding team. We don’t just advise; we run full-cycle recruiting processes for engineering and GTM roles.
We'll help craft precise role specs, proactively source and directly engage 150+ targeted candidates per role, conduct rigorous pre-screens, and deliver a curated pipeline of top-tier candidates ready for your interviews.
It’s not just about saving you hundreds of hours but more about actively increasing your access to exceptional talent. Our mandate is to increase the density of high quality talent in every company we’re involved with.

Help transition from founder led sales to a repeatable, scalable GTM engine
“When should I start hiring a sales team?"
"Should I hire 2 SDRs or 2 sales reps first?"
"How do I set them up for success?"
"How should I price?"
"How do I know my VP of Sales is doing well?”
There are no scientific answers to these questions. Life at a startup is messy.
We’ve brought together an exceptional community of sales and marketing leaders as advisors to us and our portfolio companies, and can have some of the most nuanced conversations on how to think about founder led sales, and the transition into a repeatable and scalable GTM engine. Read some of our thoughts on go-to-market engine buildout here and here.

Partnering with Audacious has been one of the best decisions I made for Maxima. They are super thoughtful, especially on matters of hiring and go-to-market.
And they don't just contribute through "advice" but by rowing the boat alongside you – whether it's finding and closing great talent or hashing out GTM tactics.
Nakul and Sam are on my speed dial for every important matter related to Maxima and I recommend Audacious highly to every founder.
