1/ My Golden Rule for GTM, from @CanvasVC GTM Council. "When hiring your first salesperson, hire two. You'll avoid getting a false positive or negative."-Tony Small, who has built sales teams from 0 four times over, including @zillow. canvas.vc/gtm-council
Early-stage GTM💎💎🧵

Venture is cyclical and so the headlines read, “Venture Capital Is Dead” every seven to 10 years. This time, it just took 15. I believe this is the most exciting time to be investing in venture capital in over a decade—since the last downturn 🔗 @Fortune bit.ly/48apP7j

Only 2% of startups led by all female founder teams receive VC funding. That number hasn't changed in 10 yrs! It's time to act, not just discuss. I talked with @Jacksonfordyce @theventurenews about what I do to help lift up talented women entrepreneurs. 🎧 bit.ly/46Gh5FF
7/ "For AEs, storytelling is powerful. If you can cast the conversation as a struggle with SaaS software and frame the problem viscerally, buyers will remember." - @YAlexandrovski, VP Sales @observablehq. While @CrowdAIinc Yuri achieved 2x growth and cut sales cycles to 2.5 mos.
8/ "It's better to be customer-obsessed and competitor aware. Focus on selling the unique qualities of your product vs trying to be a fast follower." - Jeremy Bass fmr VP Sales @unit. As #1 rev hire @breadfinancial, Jeremy grew a sales org from pre-revenue -> $450M acquisition.
At Canvas, we have found that the #1 factor that differentiates good outcomes from fund-returning outcomes is the strength and scalability of a company's GTM strategy. That’s why we’re always looking to meet the folks responsible for skyrocketing startups into household names 🚀

There are a lot of places to put AI to work. I just don't think fintech is the most exciting right now. Thanks to @technology for hearing me out on that and why we focus on businesses where AI is truly transformative, like @casetext with its AI legal asst. bloom.bg/3X09D45
