We partner with technical founders to bridge the gap between breakthrough innovation and venture-scale reality. Whether you're creating a new category or winning in a crowded market, we replace marketing theatre with GTM systems that create commercial traction.
Hi, I’m Karine.
I started MktAccel because I saw a recurring gap: brilliant technical founders with breakthrough products, but no GTM partner who understood the mechanics of creating categories that don't exist yet.
I've spent 20+ years building GTM systems for startups in AI, cybersecurity, deep tech, and complex categories where the buyer doesn't have language for the problem yet. That work has contributed to 4 exits and 2 unicorns. What I've learned is that companies don't stall because of their technology - they stall because they lack positioning clarity and a GTM system that can survive the scrutiny of real buyers and Tier-1 investors.
The way I work has changed too. I operate with a lean team and an AI-powered execution stack, which means founders get senior strategic leadership and full execution without agency overhead or junior handoffs. I don't offer "marketing theatre." I offer a skeptical, experience-based partnership to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and a venture-scale future.
I'd love to hear what you're building.

We aren't theorists. We've built GTM systems across the full lifecycle of category creation and know exactly where founders waste time and capital, before it becomes expensive.
We don't start with 'assets.' We start with the market-entry layer - positioning, messaging, and category strategy before you waste capital on execution.
We build GTM systems for white space: companies solving problems buyers don't have language for yet. If your competitors are "doing nothing" or your buyers don't have a budget line for what you do, we know how to create the category first.
We stress-test your assumptions openly. Challenge your GTM plan before you execute it. Ensure your growth bets are executable given your team bandwidth, founder readiness, and market reality.
