GTM Foundation Sprint
For seed and Series-A B2B SaaS founders who are pre-marketing-hire or have a small team that's generating noise, not pipeline. We diagnose what's broken, install the foundation, and hand off a 90-day execution plan your team can run.
The problem
Most early-stage B2B startups are running marketing without a foundation.
You have no clear ICP
You're targeting 'mid-market B2B companies' and wondering why nothing converts.
Your messaging doesn't land
You describe your product in four different ways depending on who you're talking to.
Marketing and sales aren't aligned
Marketing hands off MQLs that sales ignores. Both teams blame each other.
You can't explain what's working
You're running 6 channels and have no idea which one is generating real pipeline.

FAQs
Common questions
Who is this for?
Seed to Series A B2B SaaS founders, either pre-marketing-hire or with a small team that's generating noise but not consistent pipeline. If you have a VP of Marketing with 10+ years of B2B experience, you probably don't need this. If you're doing marketing yourself or with a generalist who hasn't built a GTM system before, you do.
What do I get at the end?
Six working documents your team can use immediately: ICP map, positioning doc, messaging matrix, demand motion playbook, attribution skeleton, and a 90-day execution plan. These are not slide decks full of frameworks, they're operational documents written for execution.
How does the 30-day timeline work?
We work asynchronously for most of it. I'll need roughly 3–4 hours of your time across the month: a kick-off call (90 min), a mid-point review (45 min), and a handoff session (60 min). No long strategy offsites, no homework decks.
What if I already have some of this documented?
Good, it means we move faster. We'll review what you have, identify what's working vs. what's wishful thinking, and rebuild only what needs rebuilding. The sprint is scoped to outcome, not deliverable count.
Do you implement or just advise?
Both, within the sprint scope. I write the documents, design the systems, and make the recommendations. Implementation of ongoing execution (running campaigns, publishing content, SDR sequences) is your team's work after handoff, though we can discuss an ongoing engagement if that's needed.
