What Candidates Are Saying
"Coming from an accounting background at Deloitte, I knew I wanted to pivot to an early-stage startup in NYC but had no idea what role or company would be the right fit. Chris and VibeScaling helped me understand how to evaluate different opportunities and quickly identified that accounting tech would be perfect for my background. He made the intro to my top startup, and within weeks I landed exactly what I was looking for - his guidance on both strategy and connections was invaluable."

Sarah
Business Ops, Series A Startup, Khosla Ventures
"Coming from a banking and consulting background, I had little knowledge on to navigate the tech sales world or which companies to target. Chris and VibeScaling helped me analyze the right opportunities and made warm intros to my top firm, Hebbia. Within days, I was in the interview process at Hebbia and landed exactly the role I was looking for in only a few weeks - their guidance and network was super helpful."

Hunter
GTM, Hebbia (Series B, a16z, Index)
"Working with Cailen has been fantastic. As an SDR, he helped me make the leap into an AE role at Front. Later, I partnered with him again to join RevenueCat as the Founding Account Executive. Both moves were pivotal for my career, and I wouldn't have found or navigated these opportunities as successfully without Cailen's insight and support."

Dylan
GTM, Linear (Series B, Accel)
"Cailen and the VibeScaling team were great to work with for my move into AI GTM. They helped me identify top companies, prepped me for interviews, made intros to the right hiring managers through their networks, and coached me on job offer negotiations. I highly recommend using them to break into early-stage GTM roles in AI and connected them to several of my peers."

Julian
GTM, Windsurf (Series B, Kleiner Perkins)
"Cailen brings the energy and expertise to help shape and fuel GTM growth. I was fortunate to work with him twice in my career as a first-time sales hire at two different companies. From strategy to execution, VibeScaling showcased just how valuable they can be, and they were never afraid to get into the weeds with me."

Prem
GTM, Render (Series C, Bessemer, General Catalyst)
"Cailen has a rare ability to deeply understand both business dynamics and the people needed to drive them forward. At Dropbox, he recruited and mentored me into one of the early GTM roles, setting me up for success in a high-growth environment. Years later, during my move to Miro, his guidance was instrumental—he helped me navigate the process, unpack compensation dynamics, and negotiate a strong, well-aligned offer. Cailen brings clarity, strategy, and heart to everything he does."
