Growth & GTM Roundtable
About Event
Most Growth & GTM advice is outdated.
What worked 2–3 years ago is breaking. CAC is up, attribution is messy, and AI is creating more noise than signal.
This roundtable is for operators who are in it right now.
Join a curated group of founders, product leaders, and growth operators for a closed-door conversation on what’s actually driving growth today from acquisition and monetization to retention and expansion.
Agenda:
6:00–7:00 PM — Meet & Greet: grab refreshments, connect with fellow builders.
7:00– 7:30 PM — Growth Fireside with Matt Espinoza (Partner at Clover Labs) & Zain Abiddin (Founder at GrowthPad)
7:30–8:30 PM — Growth Roundtable Discussion
8:30–9:00 PM — Wrap-Up
We’ll cover:
What’s actually working in acquisition (and what’s quietly dying)
Pricing and packaging strategies that are driving real revenue
Retention levers that move beyond vanity metrics
Where AI is creating leverage vs. distraction
The hardest GTM challenges people in the room are facing right now
Come prepared to share, challenge ideas, and walk away sharper.
