How the 6PM Model Transformed Breaking Mars
The Background Story of Breaking Mars
Breaking Mars, a USA-based startup, aims to revolutionize LinkedIn outreach with AI-powered networking tools. The platform addresses the challenge of limited professional connections by using artificial intelligence to identify and suggest the most likely connections to accept requests. Additionally, it automates the sending of connection requests and follow-up messages, significantly saving time for marketing, sales, and HR professionals. Despite this innovative solution, the founder faced significant hurdles in transforming this vision into a functional and efficient product.

The Challenge
- Current CTO was Overloaded: Breaking Mars had a full-time CTO; however, due to an overwhelming workload and multiple ongoing projects, the CTO couldn't dedicate sufficient time to the LinkedIn outreach project. As a result, they needed to hire an additional fractional CTO to manage this specific initiative and ensure it received the necessary attention.
- Needed Co-Development: Breaking Mars already had a development team in place. For the project to succeed, it was essential to adopt a co-development approach. This required close collaboration between 6PM's team and the existing developers, ensuring seamless integration and efficient progress.
The Journey of Breaking Mars with 6PM
6PM implemented a structured, phased approach using their proprietary 6PM Model to address Breaking Mars’s challenges. This model focuses on three key stages: Plan, Execute, and Scale.
