Udit Goenka

At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. 

After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development. 

At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.

However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development. 

At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting. 

At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017. 

My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. 

It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more. 

The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses. 

With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. 

During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation. 

Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has done over $5m in sales as a bootstrapped company, something our entire team is proud of. 

PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. 

At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format). 

In 2021, I started Angel Investment, and so far, I have invested in 36 startups; I mentor some of them to give back to the community. 

In 2022, I rebuilt my previous failure, known as https://firstsales.io, which is doing $500k ARR in just 5 months.

Everyone's fighting over Google rankings.  

Almost nobody's fighting to get cited by AI.

That's the biggest gap in marketing right now. 

And it's wide open 👇  

When someone asks ChatGPT "best CRM for startups" it doesn't show 10 blue links. 

It gives ONE answer. Maybe two. 

If you're that answer, you own the entire query. Not a fraction of clicks. ALL of them.

And right now... the bar to become that answer is embarrassingly low.

I've seen companies go from completely invisible to getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini in weeks.

Not months. Weeks.

No massive content team. No $30K/month agency. No 200-page SEO audit.

Just the right structure, the right signals, and a tool that actually understands how LLMs pick their sources.

(I've been using SEOengine.ai for this. It optimizes for both traditional search AND LLM citations in one workflow. Nothing else I've tested does both.)

But here's what nobody's saying out loud...

This window is slamming shut.

Every quarter, more companies catch on. The bar rises. Citations get harder. Costs go up.

Right now you can rank for keywords your competitors haven't even thought to target.

6 months from now? You'll be competing with 50 companies for the same citation.

12 months? You'll need an army and a budget to match.

The companies moving today will own their categories for years.

The ones waiting will spend 10x trying to catch up.

This is the land grab of the decade.

And the craziest part? Most founders I talk to still don't know LLM citations are even a thing.

By the time they do, it'll be too late.

Are you showing up in the search engine people are actually using... or the one from 5 years ago?
