GTM Overview
Our Go-To-Market vertical is here to help build and ramp up your sales engine. We can help you with the following:
- Introductions: Intros to prospective customers and design partners in our network.
- Sales Advisory: Advising on how to optimize your sales process, attract qualified leads and maximize conversions via our GTM expert, Chris DePatria.
Network Introductions
We can help facilitate introductions to folks in our network who fit your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). In order to kickstart the process, please send us the following:
- Key Titles: Who at the organization would you like to connect with? Who is the user and who is the decision maker?
- Target Companies: What types of companies do you sell into? Is there a particular size and industry that you’re targeting? Do you have a target list of companies that you would like to connect with?
- Shareable Blurb: Please share a brief blurb on what you’re building so that we can easily forward it along.
Please email this information to Meredith, who can then pull and share a list of relevant connections in our network.

Upon receiving the double opt-in, discovery calls usually last for 30 minutes. These calls offer founders the chance to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the pain points they are addressing, thereby enhancing their pitch and product. Please note that members have agreed to meet with companies to offer perspective and insight on what they’re building and have not committed to becoming customers. If you’re interested in engaging with or would like to nominate someone for the network, please email Meredith.
