    Episode 30: Andrew Teaches Dutch Startup BeSirius' Founder & CEO Anastasia Kuskova
    Jun 9 2025
    In this episode of Funded, Now What?!, Andrew Lee Miller discusses all things startups, marketing and fundraising with Russian/Dutch startup founder Anastasia Kuskova, CEO of Sirius , an AI-powered sustainability intelligence platform helping metals, mining, and energy companies move beyond outdated ESG dashboards and into live, contextual decision-making infrastructure. Before founding Sirius, Anastasia was Head of Sustainability at a multibillion-dollar mining company, co-developed a battery traceability platform with Glencore and Tesla, and helped shape global frameworks through the World Economic Forum’s Mining & Metals Platform. She’s also been named one of the 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining — and Sirius recently won the COP29 Sustainable Innovation Challenge. Now, with $3.8M raised and momentum building, Anastasia opens up about the real challenge: marketing a highly technical product in a traditional, skeptical industry. Andrew breaks it down and gives her (and you) a tactical marketing game plan that includes: ✅ Why messaging must be casual and specific to build trust ✅ How to avoid the trap of “automated outreach” in niche markets ✅ When to bring in outside marketing help — and why sooner is better ✅ How to leverage humor, data, and PR to supercharge sales ✅ The importance of sustainability-as-a-revenue-driver storytelling From investor psychology to scaling through content and strategic outreach, this episode is packed with advice for any founder tackling old-school industries with new-school tech. 🔗 Learn more about Sirius: besirius.com 📣 Connect with Anastasia: Anastasia on LinkedIn About the show: Funded, Now What?! is the only podcast where recently funded founders get live, no-fluff growth advice from 20-year startup marketing expert and Fractional CMO Andrew Lee Miller (@andrewstartups).

    Jun 3 2025
    Most founders can build. Some can fundraise. But almost none know how to market, until they get advice from someone who’s done it for 20 years. In this episode of Funded, Now What?!, startup marketing veteran and GrowthExpertz founder Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Matt Wampler a former restaurateur turned AI startup CEO and Founder of ClearCOGS who’s raised $3.8M to bring predictive analytics to restaurants. Matt is not only f*cking awesome, but after building a solid product and landing investors, Matt has some incredible questions for Andrew on marketing, hiring marketers and what channels to focus on, and even what Andrew thinks about "shitty linkedin messaging" and working with fractional consultants. That’s where Andrew steps in — with hard-hitting, high-ROI marketing advice based on 20 years of helping early-stage startups grow. In this jam-packed session, Andrew breaks down: Why automated outreach is NOT killing your brand The "casual copywriting" technique to increase email replies Why founders shouldn’t do their own marketing — and how to hire smart How to segment, message, and approach restaurant owners The difference between branding for tech vs. non-tech audiences What every founder misunderstands about “targeted spam” When to bring in fractional experts instead of wasting $$$ on bad hires If you're a startup founder who's still stuck on traction — this episode is your wake-up call. 🎯 👉 Learn more about how Andrew helps founders: www.GrowthExpertz.com👉 Learn more about Matt and his AI startup ClearCOGS.com 📩 Want fractional marketing firepower?

  • From Quant Genius to Million Dollar Founder: Andrew Teaches Nosible AI’s Founder How to Scale

    From Quant Genius to Million Dollar Founder: Andrew Teaches Nosible AI’s Founder How to Scale
    May 27 2025
    In this episode of ⁠Funded, Now What?!, ⁠Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Stuart Reid, the high-IQ, ultra-technical Founder & CEO of Nosible AI — a revolutionary new search engine built specifically for AI agents. Stuart’s background is pure quant brilliance — think hedge funds, deep infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI innovation. But like many technical founders building next-gen tools, Stuart faces a critical question: “Now that I’ve built it…and it got funded, now what?!?” That’s where Andrew steps in. This episode is a masterclass in translating complex tech into customer traction. Andrew helps Stuart step outside of his engineering mindset and into a growth-first approach — teaching him how to: ✅ Build irresistible case studies that open doors ✅ Speak differently to quant funds vs. AI devs vs. media companies ✅ Use scrappy PR and outreach tactics to spark early adoption ✅ Rethink the website as a conversion engine, not just a brochure ✅ Treat marketing like product: test, learn, refine Plus, Stuart shares how he raised capital for Nosible, what makes their AI-native search so different from Google, and how he’s navigating the startup world from his home base in South Africa. "If your genius is stuck in your head or your pitch deck, it’s not going to scale. Let’s fix that." – Andrew If you're a highly technical founder who needs a reality check on growth — or a marketer trying to help one — this is your episode. 🔗 ⁠Nosible AI Website⁠ 🔗 ⁠Nosible AI on LinkedIn⁠ 00:00 – Meet Stuart: Quant Background + AI Vision 02:59 – What Nosible Actually Solves 06:04 – Early Markets: Quants, Media, AI Devs 09:00 – Raising Capital & Investor Feedback 11:58 – South Africa vs. US Startup Realities 14:46 – Stuart Gets a Marketing Crash Course from Andrew 22:26 – Creating Case Studies that Actually Convert 25:32 – Segmented Messaging for Different Audiences 29:15 – The Right Way to Do PR When You’re Pre-Product 34:56 – Why Website Optimization is Step One 40:54 – Networking and Finding Early Adopters 44:36 – Budgeting a Smart Marketing Launch 49:46 – Competing with Giants: Positioning Against Google About the show:Funded, Now What?! is the ultimate startup podcast for founders, entrepreneurs, and growth-focused leaders.
