Question 1

What does Epic Founders do?

Accepted Answer

Epic Founders provides go-to-market strategy, fractional CxO services, and fundraising support for Seed-stage tech startups in Dubai, UAE, and the MENA region. We help founders build scalable GTM engines, hire and structure commercial teams, and prepare for investor conversations—without the cost or delay of full-time executive hires.

Question 2

Who is Epic Founders for?

Accepted Answer

Epic Founders works with Seed-stage tech startups (typically post-product, pre-Series A) who are struggling with GTM execution, scaling commercial operations, hiring their first revenue leader, or preparing for fundraising. If you have early traction but lack a clear path to consistent revenue growth, we're built for you.

Question 3

Where does Epic Founders operate?

Accepted Answer

Epic Founders is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and primarily serves tech startups across the UAE and broader MENA region. We also work with select international startups expanding into Middle Eastern markets.

Question 4

What services does Epic Founders offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer three engagement tiers: ACCESS (part-time commercial partner for strategic guidance and execution support), PRO (fractional CxO or strategic sprint for 8-12 weeks of focused GTM builds), and ALL IN (embedded growth partner for 6-12 months of full-scale commercial transformation). Each tier is designed to match your startup stage, budget, and urgency.

Question 5

How is Epic Founders different from hiring a full-time commercial lead?

Accepted Answer

Most Seed-stage founders wait 12-18 months to hire a commercial lead—often too late to fix GTM gaps. Epic Founders provides immediate access to experienced commercial leadership without the 6-figure salary, equity dilution, or hiring risk. You get execution-ready frameworks, hands-on support, and flexibility to scale up or down as your business evolves.

Question 6

How long does a typical Epic Founders engagement last?

Accepted Answer

Engagement timelines vary by tier and need: ACCESS (ongoing monthly retainer with flexible duration), PRO (8-12 week strategic sprints), and ALL IN (6-12 month embedded partnerships). We start with a complimentary founder-fit call to assess your situation and recommend the right engagement model.

Question 7

How much does Epic Founders cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on your engagement tier, scope, and startup stage. ACCESS tier starts at accessible monthly retainers for part-time support, while PRO and ALL IN tiers are scoped based on deliverables and time commitment. We work with early-stage budgets and offer flexible payment structures. Contact us for a complimentary consultation and custom proposal.

Question 9

Who founded Epic Founders?

Accepted Answer

Epic Founders was founded by John Alberto, a commercial strategist and operator with 10+ years of experience at Accenture, Capgemini, and hands-on roles in AI, fintech, and venture-backed startups. John specializes in helping Seed-stage tech founders build clear GTM strategies, tighten execution, and prepare for investor conversations. He created Epic Founders to address a critical gap: too many founders waste time and capital on unfocused activity instead of strategic, high-impact execution.
