Cutting Edge Much Needed. Formally verified secured software base---from academic dream to commercial & opensource reality. Instead of SW infra built on sand, SW can safely be run on BedRock. Bravo team BedRock.

Excellent write-up on finding Go-To-Market Fit to unlock growth. Well done @pearvc. #GTMFit #Gotomarketfit
The difference between building a company and building a product is finding go-to-market fit.

Thoughtful post from @ibscribe . "GTM Fit is a game changer" for SaaS repeatability. And, "Every company is a series of big/small loops". Very true.
🧵wrote a post outlining the playbook for a consumerized enterprise product with horizontal SaaS distribution, and it had a bunch of underlying assumptions, known unknowns, and implicit trends that I’m still mulling over runthebusiness.substack.com/…

Good list of sources from @blakethorne on product-led growth. Plus finding Go-to-market Fit.

Want an entire book? Check out @BobTinker and @taeheanahm's "Survival to Thrival"
More than just self-serve covered in here. But their entire premise of GTM-fit is really valuable & something more companies, self-serve or not, should think about.

Thank you Tae Hea. We went thru 08 together. Its the real world battlescars (vs pithy platitudes) that we needed then and now.
15 Apr 2020
My Survival to Thrival co-author @BobTinker, was on a @Work_Bench webinar with @jerseejess talking about how he launched MobileIron at the height of the 08 financial crisis and went on to grow its revenue to over $150M.
It's worth a watch!

Thank you April! We are all in this together. Honored that CoBC meant something to you. Credit also goes to the 10 startup leaders who also contributed their stories of success, failure--and mostly importantly: *UN-learning*. #changeorbechanged amzn.to/2OiJZ8l

Thank you @dcunni for the kind words about "Letter to myself as a 1st time CEO". Entreprenurs are in it together. Surprising Epilogue to the talk: it turned into two books
