The Solution · Trajectory

Five phases.
One structured GTM framework.

An advisor-led engagement that builds your complete go-to-market framework one phase at a time — from a benchmark baseline to a board-ready growth narrative. Each phase moves when you're ready, not on a fixed calendar.

Phase 1

Benchmark Baseline

See exactly where you stand, benchmarked against 2,400+ B2B SaaS & AI companies in your cohort.

Phase 2

ICP + Sales Playbook

A documented, repeatable sales playbook built on who actually buys — and how to reach them.

Phase 3

Channel Strategy

The single channel that will carry your pipeline, chosen on data — delivered as a Channel Decision Memo.

Phase 4

Hiring Plan

Role archetype, comp benchmarks, and ramp criteria for your first sales hire.

Phase 5

Board / Investor Growth Narrative

The metrics and story that explain your growth, ready for your next board or investor conversation.

A document you own at every phase

Each phase ends in a written deliverable — baseline, playbook, memo, plan, narrative — not a slide deck or a black box.

Async-first, working sessions optional

Targeted written guidance moves each phase forward, with live working sessions available when a decision genuinely needs one.

Diagnostic

PMF is not a finish line.
It's the start of a harder problem.

Most startups stall at scale — not because the product is wrong, but because the GTM motion isn't structured, benchmarked, or sequenced correctly.

No direction lock

Everything at once

Outbound, PLG, channel, partnerships — all running, none scaling. No benchmark to diagnose root cause.

Mis-sequenced hire

Hiring before the signal

The first AE hire goes wrong 60% of the time. Wrong profile, no playbook, 6–12 months of burned runway. The trigger has to fire before the hire — not after.

No benchmark

You problem or market problem?

Without cohort benchmarks, a startup can't diagnose root cause or build a credible board narrative.

No hiring plan

Hiring on instinct

Wrong comp benchmark, wrong role archetype, no ramp criteria. Without a documented plan, the first sales hire is a coin flip.

Board pressure

Growth you can't explain

Walking into board meetings unable to explain inconsistent growth. Trust erodes with advisors and investors alike. The path to Series B narrows.

"We have customers who love us and strong retention — but we can't figure out how to grow predictably."
