Patrick Mahoney is a well-versed communications and operations strategist who helps early stage startups cut through the noise & accelerate their journey to becoming household names.

My philosophy is highlight the good, prepare for the bad, and pursue a level-headed strategy when faced with the ugly. Between my in-house experience at Opendoor, GoFundMe, Plenty, Wink, and Quirky, coupled with agency roles at Outcast, Archetype, and Scout Lab, I’ve helped consumer technology brands successfully navigate all three.

The value I bring is trusted thought partnership to executives who know they’re onto something big, but need help talking about it in the public forum. I embed within early stage teams and work behind the scenes to do just that. Strategy driven by experience, fewer words that say more things, smart storytelling, and zero fluff.

WHAT I DO

Zero-to-One Sprints

A ~12 week long project tailored for early stage startups ready to tell their story publicly for the first time. Typically in support of a major milestone like a company debut or fundraise, a Zero-to-One Sprint creates the key infrastructure needed to get in front of target audiences while laying the foundation for a comprehensive communications program.
