Want to work
together?

Four ways I work with companies and operators. Pick the one that matches your situation, or just email me with a paragraph of context.

Engagement modes

Full-time CMO / Head of Growth

Open to highly selective full-time roles at Seed to Series B SaaS where I can own the entire growth function.

Best fit: AI-native SaaS, B2B SaaS, devtools, vertical SaaS.

Fractional / Advisory

1 to 2 advisory engagements at any time. Typically 4 to 8 hours/week on growth strategy, paid acquisition, and AI workflow design.

Best fit: Seed-stage founders with first GTM hire or first $1M ARR target.

Consulting / Projects

Defined-scope projects: growth audits, AI workflow builds, AEO playbooks, paid acquisition turnarounds. Typically 4 to 12 weeks.

Best fit: Growth-stage SaaS with an internal team that needs a senior force-multiplier.

Who this isn't for

Strong filters save everyone time. If any of these describe your situation, we're not a fit. Saying so up front is the point.

  • Pre-product / pre-revenue startups

    I'm wrong for you until you have something real in market.

  • Marketplaces, social apps, or consumer ad-tech

    My playbook is SaaS funnels. Different game.

  • Pure brand / 'we just need awareness' engagements

    I optimize for revenue. Impressions are not the goal.

  • Teams that want a contractor instead of a thinking partner

    I'll push back. If that's a problem, we're not a fit.

  • Companies looking for the cheapest option

    Selective on price by design. If budget is the conversation, I'm not your match.

Apoorv Sharma is CMO at BetterPic, where he scaled the company from $1K to $270K MRR in 17 months as part of a four-person team. He takes B2B SaaS from $1M to $10M ARR. Owner's mindset, deep focus, no hype.

150 words

Apoorv Sharma is an AI-native marketer for B2B SaaS, currently CMO at BetterPic. He co-built the GTM with a four-person team and scaled the company from $1K to $270K MRR in 17 months on $2.5M raised. Before BetterPic, he led senior growth roles at SaaSmic ($2.7M in paid media across eight accounts at ~1.7× ROI, single-account Google Ads budgets up to $3M/year) and Market 8 ($6 return per $1 across SEM, 60+ A/B tests that lifted average CVR ~86%, 40+ landing pages rebuilt for 300%+ more conversions). Eight years ago he left his family's spa business in Delhi with no marketing experience. He works to a standard set internally rather than granted by a title. That's the thing he brings to growth roles: an owner's mindset, a 30,000-foot view that ladders down to tactics, and a track record of doing this for B2B SaaS.

Apoorv Sharma is an AI-native marketer who has spent the last eight years scaling B2B SaaS companies. He's currently CMO at BetterPic, where he joined as the first growth hire and co-built the GTM with a four-person team. They scaled the company from $1K to $270K MRR in 17 months on $2.5M raised, building the paid acquisition stack, the AI-assisted creative loop, and the lifecycle engine that took BetterPic to category-leading AI-headshot SaaS. Before BetterPic, Apoorv led senior growth at SaaSmic, where he managed $2.7M in paid media across eight B2B SaaS accounts at ~1.7× ROI, with single-account Google Ads budgets up to $3M/year. At Market 8 he owned SEM across Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X for global B2B SaaS clients, averaging $6 return per $1 at ~$35K/month spend, running 60+ A/B tests that lifted average CVR ~86%, and rebuilding 40+ landing pages for 300%+ more conversions. The career started somewhere unusual. Apoorv spent five years running operations for his family's luxury spa business in Delhi. In 2018 he left the comfortable salary, took an associate role at a HubSpot partner agency, and worked 12-hour days for two years. He learned what an owner's mindset looks like on the inside, then brought it to every role since. He writes a monthly newsletter on AI-native marketing, ships landing pages and internal tools in Cursor, and contributed to a HubSpot Impact Award along the way. He's also a recipient of CMO of the Year (DigitalConfex). Apoorv does his best work with autonomy and a clear outcome. That's the filter.

FAQ
Q.01

What stage do you optimize for?

Seed through Series B B2B SaaS. Companies with $1M to $10M ARR or a clear line to it. Below that I'm too senior. Above that the marginal lift gets smaller and I'd rather work with a team that can grow into bigger budgets.
Q.02

Categories you're strongest in?

AI-native SaaS, B2B SaaS broadly, devtools, vertical SaaS, prosumer creative tools. Less interest in pure marketplaces or no-revenue consumer plays.
Q.03

Are you open to relocating?

I'm based in New Delhi, working with US and EU clients across timezones. Happy to relocate or travel for the right full-time role. Open to most cities globally.
Q.04

Are you full-time, advisor, or consultant?

All three, depending on the company. The fastest way to know is to email me with a one-paragraph context on where you are.
Q.05

Do you take equity?

For advisory and full-time roles, yes. I prefer it to be a meaningful component. I treat equity engagements like investments.
Q.06

How fast do you reply?

Same day on most emails. If you don't hear back in 48 hours, assume it got buried and resend.

Short emails get
replies fastest.
