Go-to-market strategy
Go-to-market strategy for new products and companies
Who to sell to first, what to charge, and which channels to test.
Launch plans for new products and companies: who to sell to first, what to charge, and which channels to test. Built for tech startups and new ventures. Then we build the launch itself, the site, the tracking and the first campaigns, so the plan meets real buyers quickly.
Who it is for
Tech startups and new ventures just before or just after launch, and established companies taking a new product to a new market. If you can describe the product clearly but not yet who buys it first, this is the work.
What you get
- A first customer defined narrowly enough to find and reach
- Positioning and a message tested against how those buyers describe the problem
- A starting price, and the reasoning behind it
- Two or three channels to test first, each with a budget, a measure and a point where you stop
- A launch site and landing pages built to convert, with lead tracking from the first visit
- A sales process for the first customers, run by hand before any of it is automated
- A review after the first tests: what to double, and what to drop
- Outcome
- A launch that learns fast and spends only on what works.
Where we have built it
- Blake Mitchell ↗ Co-founded a company that used AI to fight spam and robocalls, and a DevSecOps startup whose growth he ran. Co-founder and CEO of Ventenova, an AI research platform for investors.
- doulapages.com ↗ A platform we built and launched, where each practitioner gets her own site at her own address. Deployed and serving a real tenant.
- virginiamitchell.ca ↗ A first website for an independent distributor. 2 new customers in all of 2025, 8 in the two months after launch, counted alongside the launch rather than attributed to it.
Questions people ask
What is a go-to-market strategy?
The plan for how a new product reaches its first paying customers: who they are, what problem you solve for them, what you charge, how you reach them and how you close the sale. It is narrower than a business plan and more practical. A good one fits on a few pages and changes as soon as real buyers answer back.
Who should a startup sell to first?
The buyers with the sharpest version of the problem who can say yes quickly. Not the biggest market: the first ten customers that are easiest to find and win. They teach you what the message and the price should be before you spend on scale.
How do you pick the channels?
By where the first buyers already look, and by how fast a channel gives a clear answer. Search ads answer in days. Content and SEO take months. Outbound sales sits in between. We test a few, measure the cost of each lead against a limit agreed up front, and put the budget behind what works.
Do you run the launch or just plan it?
Both. The plan is the start. We build the launch site, set up the tracking, run the first tests with you and read the results. You own every account it runs on.
