Dear fellow founder,
I know a thing or two about starting a business. Those early days, the delicious freedom. Building something bold and truly yours. Nights buzzing with purpose and possibility.
Then reality crashes the party.
You discover you need marketing. So you hire a freelancer. Then you need sales help. So you find another. Then admin. Then reputation management. Then a VA. Then another.
Suddenly you're not building your business anymore.
You're managing a patchwork of vendors, freelancers, and half-finished systems and somehow you're busier than ever.
Marketing here. Sales help there. Talent sourcing somewhere else.
You've got:
A freelancer who ghosted mid-project
An agency that overpromised and under-delivered
Three tools that don't talk to each other
A VA who needs more managing than they save you
And a growing sense that you're still the one holding it all together
The worst part? You're paying for all this help and still doing most of the thinking yourself.
This isn't leverage. It's just more complexity with a price tag.
I'm Mellesia Lewis. I've built multiple service businesses across the Caribbean and North America from sales teams, marketing agencies to talent placement and reputation management.
And I've lived the vendor chaos. The freelancer who disappeared. The agency that didn't get my market. The hire who looked great on paper but couldn't deliver.
I kept wishing for one place that just handled it. Marketing. Sales systems. Talent. All working together. All understanding what I was actually trying to build.
That place didn't exist. So I built it.
Pineapple Connect is the ecosystem I wish I had that offers with one partner for the systems, so you can stay focused on the vision.

More vendors, more invoices, more management

Your marketing runs without you micromanaging it.
Your sales process closes deals when you're not in the room.
Your team handles execution while you think about what's next.
You're not managing five vendors anymore. You're not the project manager of your own growth.
You have one ecosystem that gets it. And you finally have space to build what you actually set out to build.
That's what happens when you stop coordinating everything yourself.

Pineapple Connect was created by Mellesia Lewis — a founder who got tired of the vendor chaos, the unreliable freelancers, and the endless coordination that comes with trying to grow a business.
After building multiple service businesses across the Caribbean and North America, she created the ecosystem she wished existed: one place for marketing, sales systems, and talent — all working together.
For founders who want Mellesia personally leading their growth, she offers the Marketing Takeover Model. It's a done-for-you service where she steps in as your fractional CMO with a full execution team behind her.
You didn't build this to manage vendors. You built it to create something meaningful.
Let's explore what you're building and how Pineapple Connect can support you. No pressure. Just real conversation.
