How we work with technical founders
Amplify has over a decade of experience working with technical founders, and over time we've developed a good sense of how to help.
Our Build Team is a group of unusually effective leaders in sales, recruiting, growth, and marketing with decades of experience at technical companies. They work closely alongside Amplify companies in structured, goal-oriented engagements.

Building and scaling your go-to-market organization, hiring for critical roles, and finding the right sales motion for your customer.
“Tim has been instrumental in shaping our go-to-market motion and strategy. He’s helped us accelerate growth in some areas while also helping us avoid potential missteps.”
“Tim came in and identified concrete gaps in our sales motion that immediately accelerated our growth. There’s really nothing more helpful than that.”

Winning early customers, technical strategy and outbound messaging, sequencing and prioritization for roadmap and features.
“Mark helped our company scale before we had a full executive team. His mentorship, feedback, and engagement during our CRO search was indispensable.”
“Mark is an invaluable resource and an extension of our team. He’s in our Slack, I always text him and call him weekly. He knows how people buy technical products and companies' challenges as they go through it for the first time.”

Storytelling, messaging and positioning, content strategy, website, documentation and technical writing.
"It would be hard to overstate how impactful Justin has been for WarpStream. He helped us cut through the noise and find our company’s voice in a crowded market. From initial launch, to marketing copy, to dealing with PR emergencies, and building our brand, Justin was instrumental in almost every aspect of our marketing success. If you’re trying to market and position a highly technical or developer focused product, you couldn’t ask for a better partner than Justin."
“Justin was instrumental in helping us with our launch: the new website structure and copy, our blog post, and even the press release have his fingerprints on them. It was really helpful having someone on board who can write, but understands developers too.”

Hiring and retaining your team, building a diagnosable recruiting system, defining your talent brand, and creating a winning compensation pitch.
"Natasha has been directly responsible for some of our best hires. In addition to consistently connecting us with the right people in her network, she provides valuable advice and guides us in the right direction for more challenging searches."
"Natasha is an expert in executing world-class people operations at every level of a startup. She taught me the tools to recruit the founding team, navigate delicate personnel issues, manage search firms, and build a stellar executive team. Even as we enter the growth phase of Eppo, Natasha remains my go-to resource for everything related to building a high-performing team."

Mapping competitive talent markets, identifying and engaging talent, best practices and creative methods for top of funnel, and talent sourcing infrastructure.
"Hiring top talent is arguably the most critical thing you can do as a startup. Nate and Amplify have been exceptional partners, helping us define our needs, refine job specs, and connect us with top-tier candidates."
"Nate is the best recruiter I've ever worked with—authentic, knowledgeable, and results-driven. He has a structured process, and an incredible network, and helps position your company and role to attract top-tier candidates."

Product, design and brand guidance, design systems, hiring, performance and organizational development, and operationalizing design.
“As our company then rapidly grew, Joshua was (and remains) one of my most trusted mentors in scaling a design culture and collaboration that drives creativity, deep user empathy, and first principles thinking. I’m convinced he’s among the best in the world at what he does.”
“Joshua is a lot more than a Design advisor, but that's his ace. He's a trusted and grounding voice as we are working through the trenches of the earliest builds.”
The community for technical founders
Amplify's community of 150+ technical founders comes together at events, workshops, and on the good old web.

Build relationships with other founders from 100+ Amplify companies. We run tons of events to make sure you meet them. Yearly highlights include our Founder Retreat, Ski Trip, dozens of dinners, and much more.

We organize workshops run by people who have done it before, focused on solving a specific problem to technical teams. Think hiring your first technical marketer, when to think about engineering management, and how to instrument open source products for analytics.

The #amplify-founders channel is where you'll meet 150+ technical founders figuring it out alongside you, and ask questions about anything from laptop policies to data warehouses.
