@marcus_fld Anyone priced a 6-month brand retainer for a Series B? First time crossing $30k/mo and I'm second-guessing the SOW structure.

I've been running this shop for nine years and I've never had anyone to call. Not a peer. Not someone who gets the $800k revenue and the 3am panic. Grove was the first time I said something honest about my business and someone just... nodded.

We were about to lose our second PM in four months. I posted in #ops-scaling at 9pm on a Tuesday. By midnight I had three retention playbooks, a comp benchmarking spreadsheet, and a call booked with someone who'd been through the exact same thing. That's not a forum. That's a war room.

I came in to figure out how to price my first enterprise retainer. Left with a revised SOW structure, a contract clause I'd never thought to include, and a referral that turned into $180k. The ROI on my membership paid out in the first six weeks.
