Seed to Series A Growth in the AI Era: What's Working and What's Not
Your Growth Playbook Is Already Outdated. Here's What Replaced It.
Google is sending you less traffic than it did a year ago. You already know that.
What you might not know is that your potential customers are finding (and evaluating) products inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. And you're probably not showing up at all.
Most founders are still running the 2021 growth playbook. Blog posts, Google Ads, maybe some half-hearted SEO.
Meanwhile the companies that are growing fastest right now have figured out something different: how to show up where buyers are actually looking, which increasingly isn't a Google search results page.
This isn't a webinar about "growth marketing best practices." This is a working session with two operators who are in the weeds on this every day:
One who scaled a developer platform to 5 million monthly users, and
One who's building search and AI visibility programs for startups right now.
They're going to open up what's actually working, what's a waste of time, and what you should be doing in the next 90 days.
If you're a founder spending time or money on growth and you're not sure what's working anymore, this is the room to be in.
What you'll walk away with:
CRO in practice: what's actually worth testing right now, and how to prioritize your funnel when you have limited bandwidth
How to show up in AI-generated answers (GEO) before your competitors figure it out
A realistic 90-day growth sprint for a startup without a full marketing team
