What a Startup Actually Needs

Not a deck. A delivery studio.

Most early-stage founders get the strategy right. They lose 12-18 months on execution because they are stitching together five vendors who don't know each other.

Tech

Web · App · CRM

Production-grade builds, not MVPs that need rewriting. Owned in your GitHub.

Marketing

Performance · Funnels

Meta, Google, full-funnel paid acquisition with end-to-end attribution.

Content

Reels · Posts · Blogs

Brand voice, founder-led reels, daily-posting cadence — built and run end-to-end.

Automation

WhatsApp · CRM · Workflows

Lead-to-customer flow on the channel your buyer actually checks.

Brand

Identity · Voice · Design

Logo, design system, tone document — locked once, used everywhere.

Strategy

GTM · Pricing · Roadmap

Founder-side strategy calls weekly. We treat your business like co-founders, not vendors.

The Zepfly Retainer Model

One team. Zero coordination headache.

  • Fixed monthly fee

    You know your CAC of operations. We know our scope. No surprise invoices.

  • One PM. One Slack. One weekly review.

    You get one human to text — not five. Every Friday: review, plan, ship.

  • Cross-functional shortcuts

    Our content team briefs ad creatives in real time. Our automation plugs into the CRM the day it deploys.

  • Senior-only execution

    No interns running your accounts. Every Zepfly operator owns their domain end-to-end.

  • Outcome-tied deliverables

    Every retainer is signed against measurable monthly KPIs. ROAS, leads, content output, build velocity.

What replaces what

5 vendors→ 1 team
5 invoices→ 1 invoice
5 weekly calls→ 1 call
5 different qualities→ 1 standard
14 hrs/week coordination→ <1 hour
3-6 months hiring time→ 14 days
Equity Partnership

After 3-6 months, we earn an equity stake.

If we deliver against the outcomes we promised, you grant us a small equity stake on standard founder-friendly terms. This is the fairest deal we know how to write.

01

Activates after performance

Equity is discussed only after we hit the agreed monthly KPIs for 3-6 consecutive months. No empty equity, no early dilution.

02

Founder-friendly terms

0.5% to 2% standard. 4-year vesting, 1-year cliff, single-trigger on change of control. Identical to founder-style agreements.

03

Optional, never forced

You can stay on pure cash retainer indefinitely. The equity clause is a "yes if you want to" — not a "must".

The Math

40-60% cheaper than hiring in-house.

A like-for-like comparison of the typical "growth team" hiring plan vs Zepfly retainer.
