FireStart Partners

FireStart Partners ignites tech startups from the early to growth stage with results-driven, customized marketing solutions. Founded by Cyndy Sandor, a former global tech media executive, joined her first startup in 1999 as VP of Business Development (and was then forever more hooked on the startup world). She subsequently became a co-founder of an activities-based social networking site in 2009, heading up the marketing and creative functions. Seeing the need for startups to include senior marketing guidance and tactical execution early on (but not ready to hire a full time marketing leader), she eventually launched FireStart to help young tech companies with their startup marketing needs on an affordable, contract basis. When a company hires FireStart, they get the decades of corporate and startup marketing knowledge and experience that Cyndy brings to the table. She has provided marketing services to over 25 startups since 2009 and can help founding teams with all marketing functions includingbranding, messaging, strategy, roadmaps, executing tactics, as well as the marketing pitfalls to avoid along the way. In addition, Cyndy has also worked as a fractional CMO and VP marketing in long term engagements for several startups as well. Cyndy has specialized experience in robotics (including the world-famous Sophia the Robot), AI, cybersecurity, IIoT, AR/VR, and edge computing. For project or contract work, Cyndy has a number of marketing specialists that can help with tactics -- content development, website design and development, PR, social media and more. Cyndy and the FireStart team apply their unique startup and corporate experiences to help shape your company's brilliant ideas into marketable products or services. Our industry experience spans B2B and B2C technology and consumer companies with a strong emphasis on branding, messaging, demand gen, content development, social media and PR.
