Startup-Side GTM Accelerator is a hands-on, 12-week program equipping early-stage founders to master selling, customer acquisition, and rapid revenue growth. Built for MVP-stage startups (zero or few paying customers), the program helps turn initial product validation into a repeatable go-to-market engine that wins real customers and builds momentum.
Most founders struggle with sales and growth. Product and fundraising alone don't create traction—practical selling does. Startup-Side's approach bridges the gap, teaching founders how to design, execute, and scale founder-led sales processes that drive actual revenue.

All the aforementioned marketing channels are what I describe as "Big Channels." They have scale, can be moved using $ (or labor, which costs $). And if you're a big successful company, you might be fine because you have a (hopefully) strong brand, you get a bunch of organic traffic from word of mouth, you (hopefully) have a successful product that can cross-sell into new products, etc.
Instead, a new startup has to be asymmetrical — what you can do that they can't? The natural solution points towards Little Channels, which are all the smaller marketing strategies that are tried in the early days and abandoned over time.
If your marketing campaign gets you +500 actives from 100, you're ecstatic. Little channels can work in the early days.
If you have a "wow" product that presents well in a hype video, you can get a nice big spike when you launch.
A lot of marketing tactics that work in the early days only work once — like a social media launch — but that's OK.
What does AI allow you to do in marketing that previously couldn't happen? Create personalized creative, generate concepts faster.
You can attract people by being polarizing. Say "this product is not for you, it's for these other cooler people."
Try reaching people in new ways, say novel things they haven't heard, and trade off scalability for now.
If you have a great product, you will multiply that into greatness. If you have a shitty product, you will multiply that into...
Great marketing amplifies great products into extraordinary success. Every dollar and effort spent multiplies your natural product-market fit.
No amount of marketing can save a fundamentally flawed product. You'll multiply problems, not solutions.
As a founder, you have unique advantages in marketing: authentic passion, deep product knowledge, and the ability to pivot quickly. Our GTM Accelerator teaches you to leverage these founder superpowers while building systematic, scalable marketing processes.
