Meet Joshua Krammes

Silicon Valley Advisor | Investor | Mentor

I’m Joshua Krammes 🙂

I help companies scale and build durable businesses through integrated strategies: growth, go‑to‑market, and marketing.  

About Me

I’ve been fortunate to guide founders worldwide as an operator, investor, mentor, and board member across both private and non‑profit organizations. The companies I’ve worked with or advised have collectively generated over $4 billion in exit value through acquisitions, and I focus on helping teams move from vision to repeatable traction, scale, and strategic outcomes in competitive markets.​

How I Help

I specialize in:​

• Early‑stage investment – Advising startups and investors on capital strategies and scalable business models.​

• Growth & marketing strategy – Defining and executing integrated go‑to‑market and marketing plans that drive revenue and market expansion.​

• Strategic partnerships – Building high‑value collaborations that unlock new opportunities.​

• Scaling operations – Structuring and optimizing teams, processes, and market entry strategies.​

• Ecosystem building – Cultivating networks that connect founders, investors, and industry leaders.​

• Building winning cultures – Helping founders create resilient, high‑performing, mission‑driven teams.​

I work to strengthen entire innovation ecosystems, empowering entrepreneurs with the tools, resources, and relationships they need to succeed. My work aligns product, marketing, and partnerships around a clear growth strategy.​

Experience

I’ve held leadership roles at StackPath, SoftLayer (acquired by IBM), Packet (acquired by Equinix), and MergerTech Advisors. In these roles, I’ve led global customer, partner and community engagement, corporate strategy, startup programs, marketing, and high‑growth initiatives.​

I help founders drive adoption and scale in competitive markets by combining strategic insight with community‑driven execution. My background in investment banking and advisory work gives founders a practical perspective on building toward meaningful exits and long‑term value.​

Advisory & Board Roles

Beyond working directly with startups, I serve as an advisor, investor, or board member for multiple companies. My approach is grounded in authentic, long‑term relationship building, community‑driven growth, and championing founders and their teams.​

A People‑First Philosophy

Business is about people first. When relationships are prioritized, others are empowered and impact is the focus, success naturally follows. I bring a people‑centric approach to every engagement, creating the conditions for founders, teams, and ecosystems to thrive.​
