About Kestrel GTM

Built for the founders doing it themselves.

Kestrel GTM provides fractional GTM leadership for early-stage startups that need senior sales and GTM expertise before they can justify a full-time hire.

We work directly with founders on the decisions that matter most in the first 12–18 months: positioning, pipeline strategy, sales process, and the systems to scale it — typically for 10–15 hours a week, embedded like a member of the team.

Whether you're just entering the GTM phase, have been trying to figure it out yourself, started and it's not going the way you hoped, or just want a second set of eyes on where things stand — let's talk.

Founder

Katie Hendricks

Founder, Fractional GTM Leadership

Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Katie founded Kestrel GTM to give early-stage founders direct access to senior GTM thinking — without asking them to make a full-time hire before they're ready for one.

How we work

Embedded, not outsourced

We work inside your business, in your tools, alongside your team — not from the outside looking in.

Founder to founder

Direct access to the person doing the work. No account managers, no handoffs.

Right-sized

10–15 hours a week — enough to build real momentum, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
