About FORKOFF

Are you an agency?

Yes. FORKOFF is an AI marketing agency serving founders and companies across AI, Tech, SaaS, Web3 and other frontier verticals. We operate the agency model with audit-grade proof and outcome-priced engagements. The thesis: agencies that operate like product companies (with measurable outcomes, ledger-grade reporting, and embedded teams) compound faster than retainer shops or freelancer marketplaces.

What makes FORKOFF different from a generic marketing agency?

Three things. First, we operate inside specific ICPs (AI startups, AI agents, Web3 protocols, L2s, DeFi, gaming) instead of running a generic playbook. Second, every engagement ships an audit ledger with qualified-view shares, qualified inbound, and recall-lift indicators (no bot-mix vanity). Third, pricing anchors to outcomes (qualified inbound, qualified views, recall lift), not hourly retainers.

Where is FORKOFF based?

We are global by design with operating clusters in Dubai, Singapore, New York, and India. The team distribution lets us run live event activations across Token2049, ETHCC, Devcon, Consensus, AI Engineer Summit, and YC events without travel logistics blocking client work.

Who runs FORKOFF?

Founder-led. JK runs operations and partnerships (Calendly is the fastest path to him). Simba runs creator-side distribution. Embedded specialists handle each lane (Founder Funnel, Podcast, Events, Marketing Foundation, Distribution). For the operating model and team page, see /about (shipping soon).

Pricing and engagement

How much does a FORKOFF engagement cost?

FORKOFF is premium and outcome-priced. Most engagements anchor to qualified-view volume, qualified inbound, or recall lift, depending on the lead wedge. Lean engagements start in the low five figures monthly. Standard engagements live in the mid five figures. Sponsor-level GTM (full ecosystem activation around an event or launch) is custom-scoped on outcomes. We never compete on price, only on operating model and capability.

Do you offer hourly retainers or per-asset pricing?

No. Hourly retainers reward output, not outcomes. Per-asset pricing rewards volume, not qualified attention. We anchor on outcomes the buyer actually needs: qualified inbound, qualified-view shares, recall lift, design-partner conversion. The full proof ships with every engagement.

What is qualified-view (QV) pricing?

Qualified views are post views from accounts with verified non-bot signal, intent fit (right ICP, right region, right buyer profile), and engagement depth above the bot-floor. We price distribution engagements on QV share rather than raw impressions because raw views are gameable and bot-mixed across most platforms. The clipping product (clips.forkoff.xyz) is one of the surfaces this metric anchors on.

Can I run a small pilot before a full engagement?

Yes for select services. The Founder Funnel runs a 30-day paid diagnostic before the full 90-day engagement. Marketing Foundation runs a 14-day positioning audit. Distribution sandboxes (including clips.forkoff.xyz) run paid pilots with a fixed deliverable cap. Every engagement is paid pilot through outcome billing and the verified proof ships at the end of the pilot regardless of conversion.

Do you take equity or revenue share?

Selectively. Equity-or-revenue-share engagements require a longer commitment, founder-level access, and a measurable equity unlock event inside 12 months. We are not the right fit for pure equity-only deals or for teams looking to defer cash with no commitment.

Services and scope

What services does FORKOFF offer?

Five agency-side services. Founder Funnel (the canonical entry wedge). Podcast (owned long-form). Events (IRL activations across Token2049, ETHCC, Devcon, Consensus, AI Engineer Summit). Marketing Foundation (brand spine, narrative architecture, positioning). Fractional CMO (senior leadership without the $400K CMO hire). Clipping runs as a separate product at clips.forkoff.xyz with its own pricing and operating model. Most agency engagements use 2-3 services in a coordinated cadence.

Can I hire just one service?

Yes, with caveats. Marketing Foundation standalone works as a brand-spine engagement before distribution kicks in. Events standalone works around a single commercial moment. Podcast and clips.forkoff.xyz compound when paired (the podcast is the long-form, clips are the distribution).

Do you build websites, ads, or paid media?

We do not build websites. What we ship is the documentation that lets your web team build the right one: SEO architecture, pSEO grid specs, launch-page briefs, narrative blocks, and GTM-specific lead-magnet structures. Your team or a trusted vendor handles the build. We do not run paid media as a standalone service either. Paid is layered onto distribution wedges where it amplifies organic recall, not as the primary lever.

ICPs and verticals

Who are FORKOFF's primary ICPs?

Four primary ICPs. AI Startups (YC orbit, model labs, AI infra). AI Agents (vertical agents, AI SDR, AI ops, coding agents). Web3 Protocols (L1s, L2s, DeFi, DePIN, gaming). VC Portfolio (institutional and consumer-AI sub-segments under the same operating partner motion). The full ICP grid lives at /for.

Do you work with non-AI and non-Web3 companies?

Selectively. Cross-ICP engagements happen when the buyer profile overlaps with our core (B2B SaaS founders selling into AI buyers, dev tools targeting the agent ecosystem, institutional consumer brands with crypto-curious audiences). We do not run engagements for ICPs we have no operating fluency in.

Are you an AI marketing agency or a Web3 marketing agency?

We are an AI marketing agency. Web3 is one of the industries we serve, not our identity. The 4-Layer Operating Model (Narrative, Long-Form, Clipping-Led Distribution, Ecosystem Access) is industry-agnostic; the channel mix and stage matrix tune to the vertical: X plus LinkedIn for AI and SaaS, X plus Telegram plus Reddit for Web3, with overlap in the long-form and distribution layers.

Process and onboarding

How long does onboarding take?

30/60/90 cadence. Days 1-7: narrative spine pick, ICP alignment, channel mix, KPI lock. Days 8-21: first long-form scheduled, distribution pipeline live, founder cadence set. Day 31 onwards: full distribution running. First measurable recall lift typically by day 60.

What does the first call look like?

30 minutes on Calendly. We confirm fit (ICP signal, commercial moment, founder commitment, distribution readiness), pick the lead wedge, and walk you through the operating cadence. We do not pitch generic services. If the fit is wrong we say so on the call and route you to a better-fit operator.

How does FORKOFF report on outcomes?

Verified proof ships weekly. Qualified-view share, qualified inbound, recall lift indicators, channel-level performance, and per-asset attribution. Quarterly retros include a stage matrix update (which wedges hit, which under-delivered, what to bias next quarter). No vanity dashboards.

Can FORKOFF work alongside our existing in-house team?

Yes, that is the default for most Series A and later teams. We run as the embedded distribution operator, your in-house team owns brand, product, and lifecycle. Distribution pipeline, podcast production, and founder-cadence support sit with us. Communication runs through one weekly stand-up plus async Slack.

Distribution model

How does FORKOFF distribute work?

Long-form first (podcast, demo, talk, panel, founder Q&A). Then qualified-view tracked assets distributed to the surfaces buyers actually use: X for builders, LinkedIn for buyers, YouTube for receipts, Telegram or Discord for ecosystem alignment. Each asset is logged in the verified proof. The wedge is recall, not virality.

Do you run paid amplification?

Selectively, on top of organic-validated assets. We never run paid amplification on content that has not earned organic signal first. Paid lifts the floor on validated content. It does not substitute for content that has not been validated by buyers.

Can I refer a company that fits FORKOFF?

Yes. Referrers with confirmed engagements receive a referral fee or a service credit, depending on relationship. Send the intro email to crew@forkoff.xyz with the company name, founder LinkedIn or X, and a one-line context on the commercial moment.
