GTM Hackathon

GTM HackathonHosted by Founder Social ClubMost companies do not lose because the product is bad.They lose because the message is unclear, the audience is too broad, the outbound does not land, or the team is testing too many things at once.This GTM Hackathon is for founders, GTM operators, sales, business development, partnerships, and growth professionals who want to build, test, and sharpen how they go to market.Over the course of the evening, teams will work on a real GTM challenge. That could include positioning, outbound, partnerships, landing pages, launch strategy, customer discovery, or turning attention into pipeline.You will have time to build, receive feedback, share what you worked on, and hear from judges who will select a winner at the end.The 5 GTM TracksEach track is designed to be built within one evening. Every track answers the same core question: How do you find, reach, or convert customers better?Track 1 — Outbound and Signal-Based ProspectingBuild: A signal-triggered outbound motion.
