The future will belong to folks who can build/deploy AI faster, which is why we chose to invest in and invite them to because of the dramatic productivity gains they give all AI teams, often going from one model a month to several model deploys in a day!

Synthesis of some amazing SaaS CMOs meetings in the bay area:
Demand gen helps you meet this year's #
Product marketing can help you meet next year's #
Brand marketing will help you meet your # 3 years out
Without product marketing and brand marketing, demand gen hits a wall.

A common mistake founders (esp technical ones) make is assuming:
1) Selling is something magical that only sales people can do
2) Just hire a sales person → sales problem solved!
I made both these assumptions running . Came back to bite me!
Quote Tweet
The amount of $$$$ wasted on hiring full-time sales bodies before commercial validation is completed must be looked at closely for startups.
Sales doesn't figure itself out.
If you, Founder, haven't found market pulse there's a 99.9%, your sales leader/sales team won't.

Today, thousands above 50+ who have their best working years ahead, are made obsolete.
