About

I help AI and developer-tool founders with the commercial half of the business: positioning, first users, launch, pricing. Founder of The DevTool GTM Company and fractional GTM lead at QC Growth, after years selling and advising developer tools as an enterprise and founding account executive. Currently building 'The GTM Co-Founder', a free, open-source set of go-to-market skills for technical founders who can build anything but struggle on selling it. Cork, Ireland.

We made a video for The GTM Co-Founder (and hit 300 stars)

We just crossed 300 GitHub stars on The GTM Co-Founder, so to mark it, we finally made a proper video.

The GTM Co-Founder is a set of open-source GTM skills that run inside your coding agent. It interviews you, builds a prioritised go-to-market plan, then works it with you one problem at a time. Not a library of playbooks you read. A co-founder that does the work with you.

You can build anything. Then nobody comes. Anyone else?

If you're a technical founder, you know the feeling. Nights, weekends, straining of relationships, your own money go into something genuinely world class. You ship it. And then... crickets. Nothing. Nada.

So you go looking for help, and your AI tells you it looks amazing, your friends tell you it looks amazing, and nobody will say the actual truth: your positioning is vague, "for developers" isn't a customer, your landing page is awful and no one can tell what the thing even does.
