The Reality

Most Founders Get Stuck
In The Same Traps

These challenges derail 90% of early-stage founders — and they're exactly what this program is designed to break through.

Months of Wasted Runway

Burning cash on unvalidated features or marketing channels that don't convert.

Excessive Pivoting

Every week brings a new direction. Without a systematic approach to validation, you're guessing — and running out of time.

No Clear Path to PMF

You've read books, listened to podcasts, but making it work for your product feels out of reach.

Isolation & Uncertainty

Building alone is brutal. You need honest feedback from operators who've been there.

Mentorship

Learn From Founders

  • Weekly 60-minute 1:1 sessions with your dedicated mentor
  • On-demand access to the mentor network for specialized expertise
  • Real-time feedback on experiments and pivots
  • Direct intros to investors, customers, and partners

The mentorship completely changed how I think about GTM. In 7 weeks, we ran more experiments than we had in 6 months — and actually found a channel that works.

Common Questions

This program will force you to build one. We'll help you identify who to reach, what to say, and how to move fast. If you're unwilling to activate your network, GTM will be challenging regardless of the program.

Yes, if you have a clear hypothesis about who your customer is and what problem you're solving. Your experiments will focus on validation rather than scaling.

Yes. Many participants use this program to build the traction milestones investors want to see. Your 90-day objective might be "hit $100K MRR" or "prove enterprise viability with 2 Fortune 500 pilots." By the end, you'll have a clear investor narrative backed by real experiments and measurable progress. The final session includes an investor/operator mentor specifically to help you translate your GTM plan into fundraising momentum.

The program works for scaling too. Your experiments will focus on improving pipeline quality, conversion rates, expansion, launching in new markets, or building the proof points needed for your next round — not just initial customer acquisition.

  • Live sessions: 2 hours every other Monday
  • Execution sprints: 10–15 hours per week (highly variable based on experiment)
  • Buddy check-ins: 10 minutes daily
  • Office hours: Optional, as needed

That's okay. The target is aspirational. Even 10–15 high-quality conversations will produce valuable patterns. The goal is effort and openness, not hitting an arbitrary number.

No. This program is for all types of founders — technical and non-technical, B2B and B2C, product and service businesses.
