EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Relay Growth Advisors LLC is a management consulting firm specializing in fractional CMO services and growth strategy for startups and growth-stage companies in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Founded in 2025, the company addresses a critical gap in the market: early-stage companies need senior marketing leadership but cannot justify $200K+ full-time CMO salaries. Our retainer-based model ($5,000-$15,000/month) provides companies with experienced marketing leadership at 30-40% of the cost of a full-time hire. We have generated $180,000 in revenue during our first 8 months with a 78% client retention rate. We are seeking $150,000 in seed funding to expand our team, build proprietary analytics tools, and scale client acquisition. Projected Year 2 revenue is $520,000 with 35% EBITDA margins. 2.
