GTM Clinic: Building Go-to-Market for Early Stage Teams
Engineering-first companies often build incredible products — but turning that technical advantage into a repeatable go-to-market motion is a different challenge.
Join us for an intimate GTM Clinic at StartupHQ for an open conversation on how early teams can approach GTM, find their first customers, and build a motion that scales without losing the product-led mindset.
We’ll cover:
How engineering-first companies should think about GTM
Finding and winning the first few customers
Developer-led and product-led growth
Turning technical credibility into a distribution advantage
Working with early design partners and enterprise buyers
What changes when moving from founder-led sales to a repeatable GTM motion
Common GTM mistakes technical founders and teams make
Our guest is Thomas Foley, with experience at Segment, Hightouch & Composio, bringing a practical perspective from three companies that built strong products and GTM motions in the developer and data ecosystem.
This will be a small, discussion-driven session rather than a traditional panel — come with your GTM questions, challenges, and ideas.
📍 StartupHQ, San Francisco
🕠 Tomorrow | 5:30 PM onwards
Limited seats. Built for founders, engineers, developer-focused startups, and early GTM leaders.
