One company that fits this pattern
Pylon
$31M Series B · Aug 2025
Pylon has the product velocity and the logos, but the GTM still reads like a founder's side project: positioning that describes features, not the buyer's problem, and demand that is almost entirely inbound. The first CMO's first 90 days should go to one thing — turning a product story into a category story the sales team can repeat.
