The in-person meetup for early sales and marketing hires in San Francisco.
You have chosen a career where the odds are statistically stacked against you. A job your parents question, your friends don't understand, and where burnout and stress are a symptom of your daily reality.
You have a strong relationship with your founders. You have dedicated blood, sweat, and tears to turn a dream backed by Monopoly money into a sustainable business that matters.
Conversations are bleak. No one has ever heard of you. You sell into markets that are unproven and indescribable, with a solution an engineer duct taped together that can break any time you click a button.
Budgets move, tides rise, and you are near-drowning in the currents of AI updates, founder breakups, and micro-pivots, all while the ARR number is breathing down your soul. A number you carry and have to move by any means necessary.
Like a game of Monopoly, you celebrate the highs and the lows when they are low. You get petty cash and orders to disrupt competitors your grandmother has heard of.
You are not alone. You are surrounded by others who left the beaten path and gambled years of their time for the sake of building. For the shakers who close millions in revenue with a broken system, brute-forced by sheer willpower.
Khaled and Eric have a combined decade-plus as early sales hires across seven startups, personally closed eight figures in revenue, and took part in a mid nine-figure exit.
We would have rather joined an in-person meetup of early stage sales folks, but it didn't exist yet. So we built it in early 2025. Six meetups and 200 attendees later, it is the most impactful founding GTM meetup in SF. In-person is strict on purpose: content, resources, and connections stay gated, and that makes the best possible environment for growth.
Eric and Khaled continue to find gems of humans. I learn new and useful sales lessons, and build genuine relationships at their events.

If you're tired of hearing "so what are you building?" and looking to connect with actual community, I can't express how much of a gem this will be.

They didn't let me in because my company is too big. I guess I'll go back to posting cold calling tips on LinkedIn, even though I don't cold call.
