Maria Joyner

Founder & CMO

I'm an accomplished marketing technologist and entrepreneur living my dream in Costa Rica. Prior to moving to Central America, I spent 10 years in Atlanta, GA building technology startups. I was pivotal in taking Synapp.io, an email deliverability startup, from pre-revenue to 2M in sales in less than 18 months. During that rocketship journey, I traveled to Costa Rica to spend 3 months at a self-sufficient, off-the-grid, permaculture farm. That experience altered my life and, a few months after returning, I sold all of my belongings and moved to Costa Rica with my 2 dogs. For the past 8 years, I've been running a business remotely, training for ultramarathon, exploring Costa Rica, and enjoying the Pura Vida life.

I am currently the cofounder of FounderScale, a Fractional CRO and Hubspot Agency that helps organizations drive revenue utilizing marketing technology. I also founded the Quantum Leap Women's Experience designed to help women successfully make big life changes. I'm married with a four-year-old son.
