Alma Growth Hacks | Building Operational Leverage with AI with Cien Solon
Building early traction is hard enough. Doing it without leverage is a mistake.
Most early-stage founders are manually rebuilding ICP research, lead lists, outbound and landing pages from scratch while juggling product and fundraising. The bottleneck is not ideas. It is time.
In this session of Alma Growth Hacks, we’re joined by Cien Solon, AI Transformation Strategist and Founder & CEO of LaunchLemonade, for Building Your First AI Agent for Go-To-Market.
Cien works with leadership teams to move beyond AI experimentation and towards scalable, accountable systems that drive real commercial value. Drawing on her background in product leadership, digital transformation and growth strategy, she bridges technical innovation with executive execution.
This session will cover:
What is your highest-converting ICP and how do you turn it into a prioritised lead list automatically?
How do you generate personalised outbound that still sounds human?
How can you sharpen your offer and landing page using AI without diluting your positioning?
The session will close with a live Q&A, so bring your real GTM challenges 🔥
If you’re building pipeline with a small team and limited time, this session will give you practical ways to implement AI agents that create immediate leverage.
