Spicy Advisory is a boutique B2B SaaS advisory firm helping startups and scaleups fix their brand narrative, positioning, and go-to-market strategy.

We work in short, focused sprints with founders across Europe.

It's because the market doesn't understand it.
Investors don't remember it.
Customers don't see the value in it.
Your deck explains features, but investors buy vision. Competitors with an inferior product are closing YOUR deals.
Marketing brings leads, Product ships features, but they aren't talking. You have traffic, but no traction.
You have a team of great executors but nobody drawing the map. You become the bottleneck.
Highly effective support. Thanks to Meera and Toni, our pitch deck became much more impactful and aligned with our target audience.

Toni completely shifted my perspective and introduced me to a whole new way of thinking. I didn't just learn, I leveled up.

“MOST STARTUPS DON'T HAVE A PRODUCT PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A STORY PROBLEM. FIX THE NARRATIVE, AND THE GTM FOLLOWS.”— Meera Sanghvi, Co-Founder & Brand Strategist, Spicy Advisory
Hiring a fractional CMO + a GTM consultant? €30-40K/month.
Us? One flat fee, working together.
We've stripped the structure back to what actually drives traction:
senior expertise and prioritised actions.
She Makes You Undeniable
Fifteen years developing creative campaigns and product marketing strategy for early-stage, growing and declining brands.
Sharpening positioning for companies investors actually fund.
WHY MEERA?
Founders often have a product that works but a story that fails. Meera fixes the disconnect. She aligns product, marketing, and sales into a unified narrative that investors buy and customers trust.

He Makes It Unbreakable
Builds the engine that ties inbound and outbound.
Fifteen years from Sales to Marketing and Product.
Launched his own B2B SaaS. Knows what breaks at scale because he's broken it, and fixed it.
WHY TONI?
Founders often have traction signals but no clear lane. Messaging is vague. Plays are random. Toni fixes the system so growth becomes repeatable.
Learn more →Traditional agencies carry heavy overheads. You aren't paying for our "theater"; you're paying for 30 years of combined GTM and brand experience.
Hourly billing rewards lengthy processes and unnecessary meetings. We work in sprints. Our success is measured by your traction, not the time we spent in your Slack channel.
We don't do "alignment meetings" for the sake of it. We use AI to accelerate research and workflows while we focus our human time on nuanced strategy and creative thinking.
Talent that pitch to secure your business, are often not the same ones that continue to work on your brand. You get Meera and Toni, period.
Ditch the bland consultancy model.
Get spicy.
Compare it to what you're already spending. If you're burning €15K/month on ads with flat CAC, one GTM fix pays for this ten times over.
For our short-sprints, you get to parachute in two seasoned professionals to help make the big decisions, before you're ready to make that permanent CMO or Head of Growth hire.
We apply decades of real world experience with startups, brands and agencies. We've worked across categories, big and small.
We dig into the proof-points together. If you disagree, we test it. We're not here to force our opinion. We're here to help you find clarity.
