What is the secret sauce used by startups, scaleups and established tech companies not only to succeed, but replicate success repeatedly?

The answer is a well-thought-out and executed go to market strategy.

What Is a Go to Market (GTM) Strategy?

A GTM strategy is a plan of action that outlines how a business will launch a new product in an existing market or an existing product in a new market. This is in contrast to a marketing strategy that is more focused on the company's overall marketing objectives.
