Go-to-market strategy · checked 11 November 2026

Pick one narrow group of buyers and one motion: product-led if one person can start on a card, sales-led once security review and procurement are involved.

It covers who you sell to, what you say, how they first hear of you, who talks to them, what you charge and who keeps them after the sale; it is not a launch plan. Before product-market fit it is a learning job the founder runs, and after it, a repeatable one others can run. It is working when the last ten buyers started looking for the same reason, not ten different accidents.
