ICP and exclusions
Best-fit accounts, bad-fit accounts, and the rules that separate the two.
Founder GTM map
Sharper B2B GTM for founders.
Turn messy market context into account logic, message angles, usable data, and a weekly GTM loop the team can actually run.
Signal, not activity
The work starts by making the market readable.

What becomes clearer
One useful readout before more GTM build.
The first pass should make the GTM work tangible: which accounts fit, what signal makes them worth pursuing now, what data is missing, and which message test should run first.
Buyer urgency signal
The visible reason an account deserves attention now, not later.
Message test
One commercial claim, proof gap, objection, and first outreach angle.
Weekly owner
The review rhythm that turns market learning into the next useful move.
First paid step
A 50-account map before more outbound.
Start with one tight account universe. Remove weak fit, expose missing data, and choose the first test before adding more activity.

Fit
Best for founders with real market context.
This is strongest when there is already a real B2B offer and useful founder insight, but the GTM motion is scattered, manual, or noisy.
Defined B2B market
Founder-led or small senior team selling into a clear account universe.
Real offer, messy motion
The offer exists, but account criteria, message, tools, or follow-up are noisy.
Volume before clarity
More outbound activity before the account rules and urgency signal are clear.
Tooling without GTM ownership
One-off automation with no account logic, message test, or owner attached.
First move
Send the messy context.
A company URL, target buyers, current motion, and the stuck point is enough to reply with the weak point, next test, and first useful move.
