Bay Area's First GEO × GTM Night: Practical Growth Tactics + Networking
Growth isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things—and meeting the right people—faster.
This is a high-signal, matchmaking-first networking night for Founders, Investors, and Marketing/Growth leaders who are building 0→1 1→10 and want practical GTM tactics plus a new growth channel: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)—how to show up in AI search (ChatGPT/GeminiPerplexity) and turn visibility into pipeline.
What you’ll get
Real-world 0→1 B2B GTM tactics (20 min): how to reach decision makers, land first seed customers, validate early PMF, and iterate fast with customer feedback.
GEO as a growth channel (20 min): how to get mentioned/cited by LLMs and convert AI visibility into demand and pipeline.
Matchmaking-style networking: you’ll choose your role + #1 growth bottleneck at check-in so conversations are more relevant and less random.
Who should come
Founders stuck on GTM, decision-maker access, CAC/ROI, or AI visibility
Investors looking to meet early-stage builders and hear real growth problems
Marketing & Growth operators responsible for pipeline and distribution
