🚀 I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the "AI GTM Accelerator", the first of its kind for early and growth-stage Gen AI companies, with Martin Gontovnikas, Guillaume "𝑮" Cabane, Fabri Cara and others at HyperGrowth Partners. 🔍 After leading marketing at Cohere, I spoke with over 70 exceptional Gen AI founders and 30 investors with a collective investment of $1B+ in AI, one common challenge emerged - Founders with amazing research and technical backgrounds need GTM expertise to drive brand recognition, conquer market share, and accelerate growth and revenue for their groundbreaking products in the hyper-competitive generative AI landscape. 💡 The AI GTM Accelerator addresses this challenge head-on for top AI companies across the stack – from silicone, compute, foundational models, infrastructure, and applications – by providing bespoke Marketing and Growth strategies. 🌟 We've already witnessed the transformative power of our accelerator with early partners like Together AI, Deepgram (yay Marcel Santilli) and others. 🤝 I'm also excited to share that I have joined Together AI as a Fractional CMO, partnering with Vipul Ved Prakash and the amazing team. Thank you, Bucky Moore, Emily Zhao and Bill MacCartney! 📢 If you're building something innovative with AI and want to create a category-defining AI company, we'd love to hear from you. Applications for the 2024 Cohort just opened, and we'll be adding 5 companies to this exclusive cohort.
