Lauren Maillian
I help founders scale, raise capital, and unlock high-leverage growth.
About me
I’m a 3x founder (1 exit), investor, and operator who helps companies position, go to market, scale, structure capital, and build enduring enterprise value. I work with founders, CEOs, and operators at inflection points—where growth is happening, but not yet optimized, or where the next move carries outsized impact. I built and exited my first company by 26, scaling it to 7-figure revenue in under 18 months. Since then, I’ve invested in 40+ startups with a collective market cap exceeding $5 billion and led growth, transformation, and strategic partnerships across high-growth startups and Fortune 500 companies. I’m the youngest woman to take a company public via SPAC (NYSE), and an early investor in companies like Ruggable representing over $5B in market value. My work spans go-to-market strategy, brand and positioning, partnerships, revenue architecture, and capital strategy—helping companies scale with clarity, precision, and long-term value in mind. I’ve built and exited businesses, scaled organizations through periods of rapid growth, and advised founders navigating everything from early traction to expansion, capital raises, and exits. As CEO of digitalundivided, I quadrupled revenue, scaled partnerships with 60+ Fortune 500 companies, and expanded the organization’s reach to serve tens of thousands of founders. I’ve also led innovation and growth initiatives across media, technology, and consumer brands—often stepping in at key inflection points where clarity, positioning, and execution determine what happens next. ⸻ What I Help With I work with founders and operators who are already in motion—but want to move faster, smarter, and with greater precision. ✔ Go-to-market strategy & growth acceleration ✔ Strategic positioning that converts and attracts capital ✔ Fundraising strategy, narrative, and investor alignment ✔ High-impact partnerships and revenue expansion ✔ Organizational clarity, decision-making, and prioritization ✔ Scaling infrastructure, teams, and operations ✔ Preparing for exits, liquidity events, or long-term enterprise value ⸻ This is for CEOs and founders who: • Are generating revenue (typically $1M+) • Have momentum—but not full clarity or alignment • Are thinking about growth, capital, or what’s next • Want direct, strategic input—not theory There’s a specific stage in business where things are working—but not fully clicking. That’s where most leaders stay stuck longer than they should. And it’s where I do my best work. If you’re building, scaling, or preparing to raise—and want to move with clarity, speed, and intention—this is where I can help.
