A beautiful logo won't save your startup.

If you treat go-to-market as a slick website and a rebrand, you're already behind.

Here's the thing. In tech, marketing isn't a department. It's product strategy. From day one.

In this episode, Sophia Matveeva breaks down the seven pillars of go-to-market strategy that every non-technical founder needs to understand before writing a single line of code.

No jargon. No "spray and pray" ads. No fantasy launch parties.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why your "pretty logo" won't save a bad go-to-market — and what actually drives early traction
• How to define your exact target customer so you stop building for everyone and start selling to someone
• The hidden cost of customer acquisition — and how to avoid burning 40% of your budget on ads
• Why your first 10 customers matter more than your first 1,000 — and how to land them without a flashy launch event
