"I would want to be known as the best in the world for something specific...where can you provide founders the deepest, most meaningful value?" - Paul Irving, Partner & Platform Director at GTMfund From launching a rolling fund to recently announcing a $54M closed-ended Fund II— GTMfund continues to make an impact within the venture ecosystem. Their winning strategy? They found their niche and stuck with it. As operator-led investors, they've really distinguished themselves in the venture ecosystem by leaning into their specialized expertise. Paul encourages other investors simple advice: focus on what you uniquely bring to the table.

Another month, another GTMfund monthly LP update delivered on time. Never late, never missed a month, and always action-packed. Few things say you value someone better than reliable and transparent communication. In March, we had a Fund I portfolio company exit at a 5x return from our Fall 2022 investment. 3x from our Fall 2023 SPV. We played a key role in the successful marketing launch of Fund II portfolio company, Paid, which had over 800 signups and 55 meetings booked. Two of our Fund II portfolio companies had markups in the 4-8x range and the companies are growing at a top decile clip. We ran an SPV for our LPs at a great valuation for a Fund I portfolio company that went from 0-$3.5m in ARR in their first 6 months. Hosted our first "GTM Workshop for Founders" with Foundation Capital in SF. Led a pre-seed deal that we're really excited about, and you'll hear more on soon. Plus, some exciting progress at Operator. Stay tuned for more there. And so much more. I feel like we can pack so much into each month because our team, our founders, and our LP base go so above and beyond. Feeling grateful. On to April, where we already have a few deals at the finish line and 1-2 more Fund II companies close to closing new rounds. The excitement continues!

Another great GTMfund dinner in San Francisco last night. We have such an amazing community of investors, founders, and world-class operators. It's always a pleasure hanging out with old friends who are at the bleeding edge of their industries and making new friends along the way. Thank you, Sophie Buonassisi and Paul Irving for hosting us and Max Altschuler and Scott Barker for being with us in spirit 😍

Super excited to back Manny again. I was fortunate enough to back Outreach as a pre-seed investor in 2015 and now I get to do it again in 2025.
I’m officially launching my new company, Paid. We just raised €10M to solve the BIGGEST problem no one's talking about in AI. AI agents are growing fast, but all face a critical challenge: how to monetize and capture the value they create? Traditional software billing doesn’t solve this problem. At Paid, we're solving this problem by: ◦ Smart pricing that aligns with actual value creation ◦ Real-time margin tracking to ensure profitability ◦ Clear dashboards that demonstrate ROI to customers ◦ Billing, Invoicing, RevRec, taxes and all the back-office needs in a single pane of glass With just a few lines of code, AI builders can focus on creating amazing agents while we handle the business engine behind them. Huge thanks to EQT Ventures and Sequoia Capital for backing our vision alongside GTMfund, Exceptional Capital, Alt Capital, SV Angel, Founders Co-op, and others with €10M in pre-seed funding and to early partners LOGIC, Inc., VidLab7, Happy Robot, and Artisan. Join our beta: Paid.ai Let's GO! Innovate, Create, Get Paid 👑

"AI isn't just another tech trend. It's fundamentally reshaping how B2B companies identify, engage, and convert high-value prospects." Jaleh Rezaei's recently chatted with Scott Barker on the AI advantage and how to solve for sales and marketing alignment for better GTM execution. She revealed how personalized approaches drive 14x higher conversion rates 📈 and why most companies get AI-powered outbound all wrong 🤦♀️ Check out GTM Episode 138 to hear the full masterclass! 🚀

📻🔉📻 Long-time listener, first-time caller alert! 📻🔉📻 Max Altschuler, Scott Barker and the GTMfund team are some of the best in the business. I've long admired The GTM Podcast (among MANY things they do well), so I had an absolute blast joining Scott for this session focused on the GTM levers to pull when things go WRONG. In my opinion there's plenty of rhetoric out there about playbooking for accelerating hyper-growth, scaling to $100MM ARR, etc. but not nearly enough on how to navigate turnaround situations -- so when Scott asked me what story I wanted to tell on the podcast, I immediately said "a turnaround lesson!" You'll have to tune in to get the whole story, but here's a sneak peek... 🤝 How to rebuild and regain customer trust after technical failures 🟰 The criticality of leadership alignment and transparency during times of crisis 💰 How aligned compensation plans change the game 🌟 Why NPS still matters and what it can reveal beneath the surface 📋 The value of Customer Advisory Boards (CABs) ✅ Some bonus tactical ideas on everything from video mailers to user groups https://lnkd.in/ej5H_Uxw
