Episode Details

Most founders can build. Some can fundraise. But almost none know how to market, until they get advice from someone who’s done it for 20 years.

In this episode of Funded, Now What?!, startup marketing veteran and GrowthExpertz founder Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Matt Wampler a former restaurateur turned AI startup CEO and Founder of ClearCOGS who’s raised $3.8M to bring predictive analytics to restaurants. Matt is not only f*cking awesome, but after building a solid product and landing investors, Matt has some incredible questions for Andrew on marketing, hiring marketers and what channels to focus on, and even what Andrew thinks about "shitty linkedin messaging" and working with fractional consultants.

That’s where Andrew steps in — with hard-hitting, high-ROI marketing advice based on 20 years of helping early-stage startups grow.

In this jam-packed session, Andrew breaks down:

• Why automated outreach is NOT killing your brand

• The "casual copywriting" technique to increase email replies

• Why founders shouldn’t do their own marketing — and how to hire smart

• How to segment, message, and approach restaurant owners

• The difference between branding for tech vs. non-tech audiences

• What every founder misunderstands about “targeted spam”

• When to bring in fractional experts instead of wasting $$$ on bad hires

If you're a startup founder who's still stuck on traction — this episode is your wake-up call. 🎯
