Brendan Beninghof

I help early-stage startups get enterprise-ready before scaling sales. My focus is on reducing go-to-market risk by pressure-testing product readiness, pricing, and buying motion so founders can scale responsibly and avoid hiring sales too early.

Schedule Free Consult Let's Connect

Many startups pursue enterprise revenue before their product, pricing, or GTM foundations are in place. The result is stalled deals, unclear positioning, and expensive sales hires brought in too soon. Drawing on 15+ years as both enterprise buyer and sales leader, I help teams identify major gaps before they scale - saving time, money, and poor potential customer experiences.

Stage: Early, founder-led traction with design partners and early adopters

Market: Confirmed enterprise segment to intentionally build for

Team: Engineering-heavy teams beginning to think about marketing & sales

Goal: Founder desire for clarity before committing to sales headcount and quotas

Not sure if you're quite at this stage? No worries - let's chat and figure it out together!
