About Clayto.io
Built by PMMs who got tired of watching great products lose.

We've sat inside B2B SaaS teams and watched brilliant products lose deals to competitors with half the capability but twice the story. Clayto exists to fix that.

The backstory

We didn't want
to be an agency.

We started as product marketers. Inside SaaS companies. Sitting in standups. Shadowing sales calls. Building the battlecards and messaging frameworks that actually moved pipeline.

And we kept seeing the same pattern: engineering teams ship incredible products, but the go-to-market side is held together with duct tape. Positioning is vague. Sales teams wing their pitches. Launches go out with a blog post and a prayer.

The fix was always the same. Hire a senior PMM. But that takes 6 months to find, 3 months to ramp, and costs $180K+ before you even know if they're the right fit.

Clayto was built as the alternative. A team of senior PMMs who embed in your company, learn your product from the inside, and build the systems that turn your engineering output into pipeline. Not as consultants who drop a deck. As partners who stay until the engine runs without us.

At a glance

  • B2B SaaS only

    We don't do DTC, e-commerce, or B2C. This is all we know.

  • Embedded, not external

    We join your Slack, attend your standups, and shadow your sales calls.

  • You keep everything

    All frameworks, playbooks, and IP are yours when we're done.

  • AI in the loop

    We build AI workflows so your team can scale PMM output independently.

How we think

Three principles that shape every engagement.

  • Evidence before opinion

    We don't write positioning from a briefing doc. We interview your customers, shadow your sales calls, audit your competitors, and map your buyer journey before we type a single headline. Every recommendation is backed by something we heard, saw, or measured.

  • Build systems, not decks

    Strategy documents are worthless if nobody uses them. We build repeatable systems: launch playbooks your team can run without us, battlecard templates that update from live competitive data, and AI workflows that scale your PMM output as fast as your product ships.

  • Revenue is the only metric

    We don't measure success in deliverables shipped. We measure it in pipeline created, win rates improved, and deals closed. If the battlecard didn't help the rep win the deal, we rewrite it. If the messaging didn't land in the sales call, we fix it. Outcomes over output.

The team

Product marketers who've done the work.

Not strategists who theorize from the sidelines. Operators who've built PMM functions inside SaaS companies, from early-stage to scale.

  • Senior talent from day one

    You get experienced PMMs who've done this across multiple SaaS companies. Not a junior hire learning on your dime.
