Closing the GTM Gap for Early-Stage Startups

Building a great product is hard, but it is just the beginning. A bulk of the work is building out systems to get this amazing product to your users. 

Many early-stage founders face a significant challenge in building their GTM capabilities:

Unawareness

You're a product builder. The importance of GTM, sales, and marketing might not be top of mind until it's a critical bottleneck, too late.

Vulnerability and Fear

It's hard to admit you don't have all the answers. Asking for help can feel like showing weakness, especially to investors and early hires.

High Cost of Talent

Hiring a full-time, experienced GTM leader or expert is often out of reach for a cash-strapped startup or one managing a runway month on month.

Misalignment of Needs

Your focus needs to be on building foundational systems, not managing a full-time team. What you need is an expert to set up the playbook, not to run the day-to-day plays from the very beginning.
