Startup Revenue: How to Avoid Desperation and Achieve Alignment - FSO Speaker Series
About
At Figuring Shit Out, we put on events for Founders who don't normally go to events. We didn't believe Singapore needed another panel, fireside chat or Q&A so we did the radical step of asking speakers think ahead of time about what they wanted to say. Beyond palatable food & hopefully more than palatable networking, why schlep across town to sit in a cramped room for an hour: Perspective!
All our speakers come from fascinating career backgrounds that caused them to look at the world and think about problems in uniquely insightful ways. Each of our talks provides a unique lens on the problems facing startups that Founders can absorb to provide a new toolkit of insights for their own founder journey.
Topic
Align First. Then Hustle.
Hard work won't fix a broken strategy. Pushing harder on a misaligned business just compounds operational debt, burns out your team, and fills your pipeline with bad-fit churn.
We’re breaking down the operator framework to fix this:
Defining acute pain
Ruthlessly narrowing your ICP
Aligning GTM to how real buyers actually evaluate risk and ROI.
Stop chasing short-term deals and start building predictable growth.
