GTM Dinner for Engineer Founders
Distribution is now the hardest part of building a startup, and AI has made it harder!
Every company has the same agents, the same playbooks, and the same public data, so most AI-driven outbound and content just blends into the noise. The founders who win are the ones with real positioning, real taste, and a growth engine that doesn’t run through them.
This is a private dinner for funded, engineering-led founders who’ve built something great and now need to sell it. You’ve raised and the product works. Now comes the part they don’t teach in CS programs: positioning, pipeline, first sales hires, and building a growth engine that doesn’t depend on the founder running every demo. At this dinner you'll get to learn from Andrew Lee Miller, a 20 year growth consultant about what's working in the trenches and what to focus on for 2027.
What we’ll dig into
How the AI companies we work with are out-marketing their competitors
When and how to move beyond founder-led sales
When (and who) to hire first for marketing, sales, and growth
The GTM mistakes funded startups make in their first 12–18 months
How AI search and AI-native tools are changing growth in 2027
No pitches, no panels. Just a great meal in a private penthouse, a curated room of peers, and practical advice from operators who’ve seen this movie before.
Who this is for
Engineering-focused founders who’ve raised a pre-seed, seed, or Series A and still need to figure out growth. Seats are limited, and every registration is reviewed for fit.
