$135k for someone that really knows marketing is well worth it. The biggest red flag IMO is that the company didn't have product market fit, but hired a market

$135k for someone that really knows marketing is well worth it. The biggest red flag IMO is that the company didn't have product market fit, but hired a marketing professional anyway.
Really, really bad idea.
- danso 10y agoOh I agree that a good CMO is worth the money. But -- and I know this is a silly question since the company under discussion seems to be fraudulent to begin with -- would a good CMO seem like a worthy investment for that small size and early of company, when it comes to showing your books to VCs to convince them to join in the funding?
- wtvanhest 10y agoI am not a VC, but I would think that having a "CMO" would be a disaster for fundraising and a solid "Marketing professional" would bad, but not as bad as having someone with a big title. Marketing without product market fit is a huge red flag imo.
