Founding GTM is a fractional GTM engineering studio for B2B SaaS startups. We help Seed to Series B SaaS teams build the systems behind repeatable revenue: outbound, CRM, RevOps, AI automation, data workflows, pipeline visibility, and revenue execution. Most GTM advisors can tell you what to do. Most technical builders can automate tasks. Founding GTM brings both together: senior GTM judgment plus hands-on technical execution. Led by a former SaaS VP of Sales and startup operator, Founding GTM helps early-stage revenue teams turn messy GTM motions into practical systems the team can actually run. We work with startups that have product traction but need a cleaner, more scalable GTM engine. That often means helping teams: * Audit and improve their current GTM motion * Build outbound systems and prospecting workflows * Clean up CRM stages, workflows, reporting, and data quality * Connect data across CRMs, enrichment tools, outbound platforms, internal databases, AI workflows, and reporting layers * Build practical AI automation for account research, personalization, call prep, follow-up, qualification, and rep execution * Improve pipeline visibility and sales operating rhythms Founding GTM is built for teams that need more than advice. We help design, build, launch, and optimize the GTM systems required to scale. Senior GTM judgment. Hands-on technical execution.

The current SDR to AE handoff processes are broken. So we reimagined it and created a marketplace approach to new lead / prospect / opportunity distribution. Our thoughtfully designed platform changes the way new sales opportunities are distributed to sales reps. Instead of new opportunities being assigned, sales reps can choose them BEFORE they start to work them. Instead of assigning new opportunities, SDRs list their prospects in an internal marketplace; AEs choose which leads they want to pursue. This model removes the subjective quantity vs. quality and accepted to pipeline squabbles. Giving SDRs an objective framework allows them to focus on qualifying leads. With the ability to choose their prospects that are best suited for them, AEs are excited, motivated and able to connect with their customers on a deeper level. OpnMkt (Open Market) is more than just a sales effectiveness tool. It’s completely reimagining the status quo. Sales teams are made up of people; let’s invest in them like the individuals they are. Put the human-to-human back into B2B and empower your teams to take control of their pipeline and close deals. 100% Salesforce-Native solution available on the AppExchange.
