20 years building what brings people together.
For over two decades, Christopher Star has worked across technology, entrepreneurship, events, community building, and innovation — creating platforms, experiences, and ecosystems that bring people together and help ideas gain momentum.
20 years building marketing strategy for tech startups globally. I've scaled companies, led growth teams, and turned adversity into advantage. As a fractional CMO, I bring that same executive-level experience to founders who need seasoned marketing leadership without the full-time cost.
Zero-to-one startups don't need marketing fluff. They need someone who can figure out what works, has built ventures before, knows what actually moves the needle at this stage, and will help you find your first 100 customers, not just vanity metrics.
"Vision doesn't scale startups. Rallying people around a real problem and a path to solve it does."
