GTMnow

What it is.

GTMnow is the media arm of GTMfund, a venture fund investing in early-stage B2B software. The weekly issue writes up a pattern the fund sees across portfolio companies.

Recent issues covered sales compensation design, a company reversing from enterprise to self-serve, and what 21 GTM leaders said about driving AI adoption.

Issues pair with the GTM Podcast, so a written breakdown usually sits next to the interview it came from.

What you get.

  • A weekly issue on GTM strategy, compensation, and hiring
  • Multi-operator round-ups, where 21 leaders answer the same question
  • Written breakdowns tied to podcast episodes with founders
  • Coverage of the fund's own view on where distribution is going
  • Free access with an open archive

Is a venture fund's newsletter biased?
Strengths
  • Patterns come from a portfolio, so a claim isn't resting on one company's quarter.
  • Compensation and quota design get proper space, which marketing newsletters never cover.
  • Multi-operator round-ups give you the spread of views, not one anecdote.
  • Free, with the full archive open on Substack.
Limitations
  • The fund has an interest in the companies it profiles.
  • Skews venture-backed and US-centric, so bootstrapped context is thin.
  • Sales-heavy, so a content or SEO lead will skip issues.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already have compensation and hiring data from your own network.
Ideal for
  • GTM and revenue leaders
  • Founders building a first sales team
  • Sales leaders designing comp
  • Stage: Startup • Scaleup
