Most AI startups don’t fail because of product — they fail because of go-to-market misalignment.
The real bottleneck isn’t marketing spend — it’s positioning clarity, pricing validation, and traction strategy.
This session is designed for early-stage AI founders who want to move from “we built something great” to “we’re gaining real adoption.”
You’ll learn:
How to sharpen your positioning so customers instantly “get it”
Proven frameworks for pricing and packaging AI products
How top founders cut through market noise and land early traction
What VCs actually look for beyond the tech
Common GTM traps AI startups fall into — and how to avoid them
Whether you’re pre-seed or scaling your first cohort of users, this session will help you build a clearer go-to-market path and become investor-ready with confidence.
