[ Pattern ]

Mailcloud had product and technical credibility but no growth engine. No stack, no funnel, no repeatable acquisition. To raise and to exit, both had to exist, and neither did.

[ Approach ]
  • Built the marketing technology stack from scratch, attribution, lifecycle, and pipeline instrumentation before any spend went live.
[ Outcome ]
  • £2.8m seed round, Europe's largest at the time.
  • Directly contributed to the company's acquisition by Microsoft.
