An AI executive team for consulting firms
Productize the back office so partners stay billable. The hours you bill are the hours you should be billing.
Partners are billing hours doing proposal copy, pipeline tracking, content for thought leadership, and recruiting analysts. The leverage isn't there. Hiring an internal CMO or COO is $300K loaded — and most won't last.
Outcomes you'd otherwise need to hire for.
- Pipeline qualified before partner first call
- Thought-leadership content shipping weekly without partner drafts
- Analyst hiring funnel run by Onramp
- Internal cadence (utilization, WIP, AR) visible to all partners
Hire the executive layer first.
SALES qualifies pipeline, runs competitive intel, and tracks market signals before founder demos.
OPS keeps weekly cadence, project execution, hires, performance reviews, support, and onboarding running on a calendar.
GROWTH runs SEO, content, paid ads, web, affiliate, and lead gen as one motion. CMO-level discipline without the CMO.
FINANCE auto-activates at $3K MRR. Unit economics, AR, cash position. Real CFO view, not a bookkeeper.
The Drives that do the actual reps.
pipeline, enrichment, outbound sequencing
weekly cadence, accountability, focus
ATS, sourcing, candidate screening

Who is Merkava actually for, beyond consulting firm partners?
Operators who need more work without more payroll. Consulting firm partners fit because the back-office work compounds faster than the revenue does — the AI executive team gives you a CMO, COO, and VP Sales without the $30K+/mo loaded cost of hiring them.
How is this different from buying a stack of point tools?
Point tools give you software. Merkava gives you a team. The execs make decisions and ship work — including PRs to your code, content to your CMS, ads to your accounts. You audit; they execute.
What does it cost?
Hire one exec from $99/mo (SALES) or $199/mo (GROWTH). Hire all five for $599/mo. FINANCE auto-activates at $3K MRR. 7-day trial on every exec hire.
Can I start without committing to a full team?
Yes. Hire one exec, see the work ship for a week, then expand. Most consulting firm partners start with SALES since that's where the highest-output specialists live.
