90% of tech startups fail. It’s a fact. 75% that are VC-funded fail. That’s also a fact.

What differentiates the scaling successes from failures, we have found from firsthand experience, is adhering to a simple formula. It’s a formula of alignment. A formula that correctly blends a balance among various competing GTM priorities, understanding operational interdependencies, and getting the right sequencing of the broad range of necessary activities and investments.

As the philosopher John Dewey said “a problem well-defined is a problem half solved”.

Please join senior consultant Ron Ariana (formerly senior revenue executive at start-up and established enterprise software organizations) and Simon Levin, co-founder of The Skills Connection and former Gartner executive for this webinar. 

Through this 30 minute webinar, we will:

  • Discuss how companies have failed to achieve alignment and why 
  • Share how those who succeeded did so. 
  • Demonstrate a method for you to assess your own alignment status and plan for how you best go forward with confidence.
There will also be time at the end of the session for any questions you have. 

If you are looking to scale your business, and avoid the GTM pitfalls while doing so, we promise this will be a worthwhile investment of 30 minutes of your time.
