Developer tools companies don't need more vague community activity. They need a senior DevRel operator who finds the conversion gap, shapes the story, and ships the content, docs, and programs that move developers toward adoption, pipeline, and revenue.
DevRel Bridge brings senior operator experience across developer tools, APIs, fintech, AI, and infrastructure, from strategy through hands-on execution.
DevRel Bridge helps developer-led companies stop treating community, content, and advocacy as separate activity streams. The work has to connect to adoption, pipeline, and revenue or it's just expensive noise.
Find where developer attention is leaking before it turns into adoption, sales conversations, or enterprise pipeline.
Measure DevRel by the signals leadership actually cares about: activation, adoption, qualified demand, and expansion support.

Marcos co-authored How to Build Developer Ecosystems with Amir Shevat. It lays out the operating system for developer ecosystems: strategy, community, advocacy, content, measurement, and the uncomfortable chapter most teams skip: tying all of it back to business outcomes. The same framework informs every engagement at DevRel Bridge.
Understand what DevRel should actually do before you hire anyone. The book starts where most skip: defining success in business terms.
Connect developer trust to pipeline using the TTF Call, activation rate, and feature breadth framework that leadership can actually read.
A practical five-stage ecosystem model with real examples, a content operating system, and measurement frameworks that don't rely on vanity metrics.
“Marcos is one of the most thoughtful people in the space and distilled more than a decade of wisdom into a single read. Smashed Buy Now so fast it broke Amazon.”

If you only need light advisory, there are smaller ways to work together. If the job is to change positioning, create assets, fix the developer journey, or build pipeline, expect an engagement with enough room to diagnose, execute, and measure.
A focused 60-minute working session when you need clarity, not a full engagement.
A tight strategy and execution sprint for teams that need a real answer, a plan, and useful assets shipped quickly.
The main engagement. Strategy plus hands-on execution across positioning, content, developer experience, community, and sales enablement.
A small monthly retainer works for a contained advisory role: reviewing strategy, joining a monthly leadership call, or advising a team that already has operators in place.
It's not the default offer because it creates the wrong expectation. Most meaningful DevRel Bridge work needs enough room to diagnose, create, ship, and measure.
"Marcos has been instrumental in shaping Airtop's developer go-to-market strategy. His expertise in DevRel and content helped us effectively engage developers and drive early adoption. He brings a rare mix of technical depth and strategic thinking that has been invaluable to our launch."

If you need a light advisory call, book one. If you need positioning, content, DX, and pipeline work, let's scope the right engagement instead of squeezing it into a light advisory arrangement.
