Ask for relevant proof

Make sure the agency can show work connected to reputation for startups, not only broad reputation for startups claims.

Clarify the operating model

Confirm who owns strategy, implementation, reporting, and technical coordination before you commit.

Validate the commercial fit

Use budget, project floor, and team-size signals to avoid shortlisting agencies that are structurally mismatched.
