Marco Chen

Sales founder

Singapore

Enterprise sales founder building in public and looking for a technical partner who wants customers, not just users.

Role
Marketers
On StartCoLink since
Oct 2020

Exploring B2B sales, SaaS GTM, and cofounder search with a customer-first build rhythm.

The hard part of B2B isn't the demo. It's the third email when they're still thinking about it.

Marco spent a decade in enterprise GTM before starting to build workflow tools in public from Singapore. He knows the sales motion cold—and he's looking for a technical cofounder who wants to sit in on customer calls, not hand off a roadmap.

His StartCoLink activity is unusually specific: pipeline notes, objection handling, and what features actually closed deals versus what looked good in a sprint review.

He's patient about equity and fit. He'd rather find one right partner than rush into a split that looks balanced on paper.
