    How Community Becomes the Ultimate GTM Moat in AI-First Era

    September 24, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    Community is the only moat that grows stronger every time people use it. In B2B SaaS, trust spreads faster through real users than paid ads or polished decks. When competitors flood channels with noise, it’s the people inside your ecosystem who carry your credibility forward.

    How System Design Becomes a GTM Moat in 2026

    How Distribution Becomes a GTM Moat in the Age of AI

    September 18, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    Distribution is no longer about who spends the most on ads. In 2026, defensibility comes from channels you own and ecosystems that AI spam can’t flood. Email lists that buyers trust, partner platforms that carry your product, communities that people rely on, and events that buyers mark on their calendars — these are the levers that give GTM teams durable reach when everything else feels disposable.

    AI-First GTM Operating Model: How to Win in 2025 and Beyond

    August 15, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    The GTM playbook you’ve been running is built for a slower market. AI-first GTM teams are already sensing shifts before they happen, moving budget in minutes, and personalizing every touchpoint without slowing down for approvals. This post breaks down the entire operating model (from market sensing to journey personalization), and shows how to spot high-impact, low-effort plays that compound advantage fast. If you want to compete with algorithms instead of chasing them, start here.

    The Quiet Vendor Playbook: Earning Credibility Without Owning the Customer

    June 21, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    How AI Search Is Rewriting the Rules of Inbound (And What to Do About It)

    Sticky June 13, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    If You’re Not Built for AI, You’re Already Invisible When AI tools decide what shows up in the summary box, they’re not choosing based on Google search rankings. Only the content that’s easy to extract, clear to read, and built for machines to understand wins. Everything else stays in the shadows.  Three different founders asked […]
