[GTM MappingFor 0→1 / pre-revenue founders]

Map your full GTM with operators who've actually shipped it before.

If you're pre-revenue, MVP-stage, or pre-launch — you don't need another audit. You need a second brain with more GTM scars than you have, walking through your business in real time and handing you a 12-month playbook you can ship from.

Apply for GTM Mapping →
[01]What you actually get—The deliverable, not the pitch

A 12-month GTM playbook built live with you — on a Miro board you keep.

[ Workshop 01 ]

GTM Mapping

For pre-revenue, MVP-stage, and pre-launch founders. No paid history yet. You have an idea or early product and need to figure out how to take it to market without burning the runway.

InvestmentFrom $500 USDCustomized to length, depth, in-person logistics. Every engagement is shaped to what you need.
What you walk away with
  • Growth strategy on a Miro board — channels, sequencing, allocation, validation milestones, timelines.
  • Distribution plan — where to invest your time, money, energy. Channel by channel, in priority order.
  • Validation framework — what to test, how to read the signal, kill criteria for each channel.
  • Capital plan — how much spend you actually need before you can claim PMF + milestones.
What you'll learn (modules taught live)
  • Pre-PMF channel discovery — finding the one channel that compounds before runway runs out.
  • Distribution-first product validation — ship the distribution, not the feature.
  • The first $100K of paid spend playbook — what to spend it on, in what order, when to stop.
[02]Who shows up—The room you'll walk into

The team most relevant to your business shows up — including a co-founder.

Not everyone on the bench will be in your workshop. We send the operators most relevant to your industry — always including one of the co-founders, plus senior specialists from the bench who've shipped in your category. Here's who you'll likely see in the room:

Co-Founder · GTMLabKevin Cho

Ex-VC partner at Zeroth.ai — wrote ~$500K cheques into 50+ AI startups. Co-founded Peeba: $20M+ revenue, 6 countries, $10M raised. Forbes 30 Under 30. Most likely the co-founder in your workshop.

ForbesY CombinatorPeebaZeroth.ai
Co-Founder · COOAlbert Lie

$300M+ AUM hedge fund operator. Ex-investment banking, BDO. 100+ engagements led at GTMLab.

[03]How it works—From application to playbook

Six steps. About a week of real work.

No discovery slide deck. We do the homework before the workshop, so the live session is high-density — not a fishing trip for context.

Before01You apply02Pre-workshop brief
During03The workshop04Live Miro build
After05Playbook delivered06Day-30 follow-up
Before · ~1 week out
01

You apply.

15-minute discovery call. We confirm you're a fit for GTM Mapping (vs. Growth Decode), align on the specific problem you want to solve, and give you a straight read on whether we can help. If not, we point you to who can.

Before · ~3–5 days out
02

Pre-workshop brief.

We send you a Notion doc with the questions to answer before the session: your buyer, your honest current state, your runway, your bets so far. You fill it out. We read it. We come to the workshop already inside your business — not asking what you do for the first 30 minutes.

During · workshop day
03

The workshop.

Senior operators in the room with you. No slides, no pitch. We walk through your buyer, your market, your channel hypotheses, your validation gates — pressure-testing every assumption against real GTM math from businesses we've shipped before.

During · live build
04

Live Miro build.

As we work, we're building your playbook on a live Miro board. Channels mapped. Sequencing locked. Validation milestones laid out. The capital plan calibrated. By the end of the session, the strategy isn't in our heads — it's a document you own.

After · same day
05

Playbook delivered.

You leave the workshop with the Miro board live, plus a written summary of the call we made on each decision and why. Yours to keep, share with your team, use to brief future hires, attach to your fundraise.

After · 30 days later
06

Day-30 follow-up.

30 minutes, optional but recommended. We check what shipped, what got stuck, what surprised you. Recalibrate the playbook if signal is telling you something different than the plan assumed. Then you're on your own to compound.

FAQ

Questions GTM Mapping founders ask first.

GTM Mapping is built for pre-revenue, MVP-stage, and pre-launch founders. No paid history yet. If you have active paid spend, PMF, and want to scale — Growth Decode is the right one. If you're in between, we'll figure it out on the discovery call.

From $500 USD. Customized to your needs — length, depth, and in-person logistics determine the final price. We've worked with single-founder pre-revenue teams and multi-stakeholder pre-launch boards; the price reflects what you actually need.

Even better. We've done GTM Mapping with founders who only had a deck, a hypothesis, and a willingness to be told the truth. The Miro board often surfaces that the product needs to shift, not just the GTM. That's the point.

Often, yes. Several founders have walked out and used the playbook as the GTM section of their Series A deck. The math is rigorous, the assumptions are stress-tested, and the channel sequencing is defensible to an investor.

Yes — we encourage it. The best workshops have 2–3 from the founding team in the room. Decisions get made faster, alignment is built live, and the playbook is something the whole team owns when they walk out.
