𝐆𝐓𝐌 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩

Just before the holidays, Hila Lauterbach and I met a founder building their MVP, their Minimum Lovable Product.

They were clear on the use case. 
Clear on the value. 

The buyer? Their instinct was familiar: 
“Let’s sell to the enterprise.”

That's the critical GTM decision.
As they described the product, my mind kept circling one thing
𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Enterprise meant influencing a PM 
↳ Who then has to convince engineering.
↳ Who then needs to find a sprint.
↳ Who then will evaluate
And so on, you know what it’s like

That’s not early traction. 
That’s a traffic jam ⛔.

So I asked a different question. 
“What if your first users weren’t enterprise at all?”
What if you started with “vibe coders”?  
↳ Those who already experiment
↳ Builders shipping fast
↳ Testing AI workflows
↳ Giving unfiltered feedback 

Smaller accounts, yes. 

But faster learning loops
real usage 
real signals.

You could feel the shift in the room. 

That’s the kind of early signal GTM fit exploration surfaces.
Before the roadmap hardens.

Because that choice quietly determines
✅ what you learn
✅ what you build
✅ and how fast you find buyer pull

So an honest question:
​​Who did you design your GTM roadmap around first? 
Do they accelerate learning, or slow it down?

I'VE SPENT MY CAREER AT THE INTERSECTION OF RESTAURANTS, MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY, driven by a lifelong passion for food, hospitality, and helping companies evolve in an industry that’s both deeply traditional and constantly changing.

My roots are in restaurant marketing, where I shaped brands, deepened guest engagement, and championed digital transformation long before the industry fully embraced it. Collaborating closely with operators and frontline teams, I saw firsthand how the right strategies and tools elevate not just business performance but also genuine hospitality - the true heart of every restaurant.

That insight drove my transition into restaurant technology, where I develop competitive positioning, messaging, go-to-market strategies, and thought leadership for restaurant SaaS companies. My unique background in restaurants and deep understanding of both the guest experience and operational realities enable me to bridge the critical gap between what technology can do and what restaurants truly need.

I’m deeply passionate about building teams, mentoring marketers, and fostering cultures that value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning. I thrive when helping others grow, take risks, and realize their full potential.

My journey has been fueled by curiosity, tenacity, and the joy of creating memorable experiences - ideally shared over exceptional meals - whether around a lively table, on the couch at home, or anywhere connections happen. I'm energized by the opportunity to help shape the future of the restaurant industry through innovation and connection.
