An AI executive team for scaling SaaS
Hold team size flat while doubling output. The exec layer that doesn't need RSU's.
Past $1M ARR, you're hiring a VP of every function. Each VP wants a team. Burn doubles before output does. You want senior-level operating discipline without a 7-person leadership team eating equity.
Outcomes you'd otherwise need to hire for.
- GROWTH runs SEO + content + paid as one motion
- OPS keeps cadence, hiring, and performance honest
- FINANCE delivers a real CFO view, not a bookkeeper
- TECH reviews vendors without an agenda
Hire the executive layer first.
GROWTH runs SEO, content, paid ads, web, affiliate, and lead gen as one motion. CMO-level discipline without the CMO.
OPS keeps weekly cadence, project execution, hires, performance reviews, support, and onboarding running on a calendar.
FINANCE auto-activates at $3K MRR. Unit economics, AR, cash position. Real CFO view, not a bookkeeper.
TECH runs honest stack reviews, compliance, knowledge management, and engineering project tracking (the Chassis engineering view, with bidirectional GitHub sync). Recommends non-Merkava specialists when the math favors them.

Who is Merkava actually for, beyond post-pmf saas founders?
Operators who need more work without more payroll. Post-PMF SaaS founders 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 post-pmf saas founders start with GROWTH since that's where the highest-output specialists live.
