Clevnode builds revenue systems that produce pipeline you can count on.
Most teams have the tools. We build the system that connects them node by node, so leads show up clean, move on their own, and turn into revenue.
You are probably in the right place if one or two of these are true.
We work with B2B companies, roughly $5M to $40M ARR, where the original go-to-market setup no longer fits the revenue targets the business has to hit.
Trigger events
A new CRO, VP Sales, or Head of Ops just took the seat
Forecast keeps missing and nobody can tell you precisely why
Two motions are now running where there used to be one (Product-Led Growth (PLG) plus sales, new segment, new geo)
The Board is asking for pipeline coverage you cannot reliably produce
A platform migration (CRM, billing, data warehouse) just exposed how much was held together by hand
Stage and shape of your company
B2B companies, typically $5M to $40M ARR
Selling into mid-market or enterprise, $5K+ ACV
A founder or revenue leader who can make a decision and own the outcome
Existing CRM, existing data, existing reps; not a greenfield build
If none of this sounds like you, we are probably not the right call. We will tell you that on the first conversation rather than after the proposal.
5 layers, one engineered system.
Most companies need 3 or 4 of these, not all 5. If you don't already know which, you will after the first call.
Data Orchestration and Enrichment
The foundation. We orchestrate data from Clay, intent providers, and your internal systems, then enrich and filter before anything touches the CRM. Your team only sees signals worth working.
CRM Architecture and System of Record
The system of record. HubSpot or Salesforce architected from the object model up. Lead and account routing tied to ICP and scoring. Stage definitions with real exit criteria, not vibes.
Intelligent Inbound Automation
The path from website visit to booked meeting, automated end to end. Form capture, real-time enrichment, behavioral scoring tied to actual conversion data, and qualification that hands off to the right rep every time.
Context-Driven Outbound
The execution layer. ICP and segmentation that match how you actually win. Outbound built on Clay, Smartlead, and HeyReach. Multi-thread coordination across decision makers, with sequences that trigger on real buying intent.
Agentic AI and Cognitive Automation
Where AI does the work humans should not have to do. Workflows built with Claude Code. AI-driven research, enrichment, and personalization at scale. Automation where it pays off, judgment where it matters.
Diagnose. Build. Document.
Every engagement runs through the same 3 phases. The scope of each phase depends on which layers we are building.
Diagnose
We embed in your data, CRM, reporting, and team's workflows. By the end you get a written document: what is working, what is broken, what is costing you revenue, and the order to fix it in.
Engagement fees are sized to the scope of the build, not to the size of the company. We discuss specifics on the first call.
Built by an operator, not a consultant who became one.
Alex Artemenko
Founder, Clevnode
Connect with me on Linkedin↗Clevnode is built on a specific bet: that the people best placed to fix revenue systems are the people who carried a quota on top of broken ones.
I spent eight years selling enterprise SaaS into life sciences and institutional fintech. At Medidata, I worked with global pharma on clinical trial technology. At Clarivate, I sold research and IP intelligence into the same life sciences buyers. At BlockFills, I sold digital asset infrastructure to hedge funds, market makers, and prop trading desks.
What that taught me is that almost every revenue problem at a B2B company has the same shape: the original setup was right for the first $5M in ARR, and nobody had the time to rework it before it broke. Clevnode is the firm I wish existed when I was on the other side of the table.
I work out of Spokane, Washington. I run every engagement personally.

The questions people actually ask on the first call.
How is this different from hiring an outbound agency?
An outbound agency runs campaigns on your behalf, often using their data and their lists. We engineer the full GTM system inside your tools, so your team owns it after we leave. Outbound is one of the five layers we build. The others are data orchestration, CRM architecture, inbound automation, and agentic AI. Agencies are good for ongoing execution. We are good if you want the system to be yours.
Why work with a small firm instead of an agency?
Because these decisions are senior decisions, and at most agencies the senior people are selling, not building. With Clevnode, you get the person who carried the bag, in the room, every working session. That is the entire point.
What does a typical engagement cost?
Engagement fees are sized to the scope of the build, not the size of your company. The number depends on which of the 5 GTM layers you need built, how much of your current setup is salvageable, and how much your team can carry alongside us. The build is typically a fixed-scope project spanning 4 to 12 weeks. If you want us to stay on afterward, that moves to an Operating Partner arrangement. We discuss specifics on the first call. If you are too early to get real value from this, we will tell you, rather than sell you a build you are not ready for.
What does Modern GTM Engineering actually mean?
Most teams have pieces of the stack. What they are missing is the system that ties them together. Modern GTM Engineering is the design and build layer that sits around your CRM: how clean data gets in, how signals trigger the right workflow, where AI agents take on the low-value work that drains your team, and how the full motion holds together as one system. RevOps keeps the engine running. We architect and build the engine.
When the build is done, you choose how we continue.
1) Handoff: We document the full system and hand it to your team to run. You own it outright.
2) Embedded: We stay on as the layer between your revenue leaders and the system we built. We run the parts your team is not ready for, optimize against what the first two quarters of real use reveal, and scale the model into new segments, motions, and geographies as you grow.
How do you work with our existing team?
We work with them, not around them. Your revenue leaders are in every working session. Your operations people own the system the day we leave. If your team is not in the room, the documentation phase is wasted.
What tools do you work in?
Opinionated, not rigid. Most engagements run on a stack of Clay for data and enrichment, Smartlead and HeyReach for outbound, Claude Code for workflow design and build, plus HubSpot or Salesforce as the CRM core and a BI layer for reporting. If your existing stack works, we work in it. If a specific tool is the bottleneck, we will tell you and recommend a replacement. We do not push tool migrations as a default move.
You have no public case studies. How do I get comfortable?
Honestly, by talking to me for 30 minutes. Clevnode is new. The operator behind it is not. The first conversation is a working session, not a pitch. If by the end of it you do not think we will move the needle, you have lost half an hour and gained a few useful observations.
What if we decide to stop after the diagnostic?
Then we stop. You keep the diagnostic document, you keep the recommendations, and there is no pressure to continue into the build. About one in five conversations should end there. That is the system working as intended.
What does the name Clevnode mean?
Clev comes from clever. A node is a connection point in a system. Put together, Clevnode means clever systems, connected at every node. It reflects how we think about revenue: not as a collection of standalone tools, but as connected points that only produce results when they are wired together well.
30 min, one working conversation.
You bring the current state, we bring the questions. By the end of the call you will know whether Clevnode is the right next move. If it is not, you will leave with something useful anyway.
