Scaling beyond founder-led sales with a GTM team
In the early days of a startup, founders close the deals. But the first real sign of a business starting to scale is when they have to focus on strategic leadership over deals. When this happens, you could look to create a dedicated go-to-market (GTM) team.
For this session, we’re joined by Emerald Technology for a conversation on how to professionalise your revenue function, from the first GTM hire. We’ll discuss what to look for, what to avoid and how to build a team that can start scaling across markets straight away.
