We engaged with Gaurav at the Startupbootcamp initiative as we look to expand to the Netherlands and the greater European union. Gaurav provided us with very valuable information. He made very insightful presentations that were really engaging and fun! I strongly recommend him to any company needing support with their expansion strategies or wish to establish themselves in the Netherlands.

We were lost with the complexities of our product distribution and with Gaurav's help we clarified our core value and market positioning.,The one month sprint gave us strategic view, breaking free from like the operational day to day challenges we are having, and you know, Gaurav helped shaped our go-to market strategy with real world examples and action insights. So I definitely recommend him 😊

Gaurav came in to our journey in the right time. We had found our Product market fit and had solved the 0-1 problem. Gaurav’s help came in right time to scale our product beyond initial success. We had number of sessions that helped us position our product in the right segments and avoid spreading thin with our focus. Definitely recommend Gaurav for anyone who needs help with product positioning and messaging.

I know you have some questions
What is positioning, exactly?
Positioning as a concept is not new; it defines how your product is the best in the world at delivering some value that a well-defined set of companies care a lot about. It's hard to measure bad or weak positioning, but you can feel a sluggishness (e.g. the 💡 does not come on with a customer unless they have an extra sales call). For an introduction, see April Dunford (she is awesome) blog post on Lenny's Newsletter.
What should be the profile of my scaleup?
You are a growing scale up and have early customers, and revenue, in the scale of 500K ARR and looking to get a deeper perspective on positioning that can align your GTM teams.I work best with B2B scale ups.
Who from my team needs to be in the calls?
Its best to work with the strategy team, ideally the founder, CSO, CRO or GTM head, and not more than 4 people on the calls.
How much of my time commitment do you need?
I help deliver the value you need between 2 to 6 weeks, and expect not more than 4 hours each of your leaders commitment.
What are the *exact* outputs you help with?
Outputs are designed to be immediately useful and actionable. A Positioning document that gives you a signal of where you differentiation lies and the broad messaging you have to use. A scaffold (Framer, Figma) of how your landing page should look like, sections and wording wise. Optional: Resources of best practices of getting your positioning right (light and easy read with eg).
But, don't you need domain knowledge?
Domain knowledge needs to be balanced with product insight [ customer motivation, friction] and where the market is at. I don't need to be a subject matter expect and given my experience, this domain knowledge is expressed as hunches in the C level exec team yet to be realized
How much do you charge?
One time fixed cost pricing for the positioning sprint that immediately adds value to you. Post that we are happy to work on a retainer tied to your increased revenues or cost saving, based on how much post sprint support you need. We have an extended team of experts (content, marketing, SEO, brand, CRO) that can assist.
