Marketing for Startups & Scaleups
We turn young companies into rising stars.
Startups need attention the most when they can least afford marketing resources.
Sometimes they’ll create their own unsuccessful campaigns. Or they put marketing on hold, and languish in obscurity.
We design marketing and PR programs that are the right size and shape for young companies. From the first tagline to the IPO interviews, we create stories and experiences that fuel sustained growth.
We know what founders need - and what they don't.
Our Team
Is it time to work with Bast?
The best results happen when there's real momentum to work with. Here's how founders and investors usually know it's time:
-
You're not ready to hire in-house marketing resources but no one else knows how to do it.
-
A product launch or fundraise is approaching and you need to show up credibly.
-
You know your story is compelling but struggle to put it into words.
-
Buyers, media, and analysts don't know who you are.
-
You're losing deals because prospects don't grasp your value quickly enough.
-
The team is heads-down on product and no one owns the narrative.
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to elevate your messaging.

Minimize risk. Maximize valuation.
FOR THE VC: PORTFOLIO HEALTH CHECK.
Does your portfolio need support? Is a weak narrative or a looming public relations risk capping your portfolio’s valuation?
We provide VCs with a confidential, rapid-turnaround audit of their active investments—identifying who is exposed, who needs immediate brand optimization, and how to fix it before your next funding round.
Our Portfolio Health Check evaluates your companies to identify:
-
Reputational Vulnerabilities: Companies exposed to regulatory, cultural, or cybersecurity narrative risks before they hit the headlines.
-
Narrative Blind Spots: Founders failing to convey their category authority to the market
-
Executive Visibility Gaps: Leadership teams without the public-facing footprint required to drive industry influence.

From early-stage disruptors to young market titans, we build authority and appeal.
