HANDS-ON SUPPORT FOR STARTUP FOUNDERS
Fractional business development for startups ready to build their pipeline.
I’m Marijo McIntosh. I help startup founders across industries identify the right prospects, start relevant conversations, and move opportunities forward—without hiring a full-time business development employee.
15+ years of business development experience
My experience spans technology, professional services, retail, and trades. I bring that perspective to every engagement, helping founders understand who to target, how to approach them, and how to keep opportunities moving.

Fractional Business Development
For founders who need ongoing support without a full-time hire. I work directly with you on business development priorities, relationships, and the next steps in your pipeline.
What working together looks like
1. Talk through your situation. Tell me what you sell, who you want to reach, and where business development is getting stuck.
2. Agree a practical scope. I recommend the support that fits your priorities. We clarify deliverables, fees, and responsibilities before you commit.
3. Put the plan to work. I carry out the agreed work and review progress with you so next steps stay clear.
