Just founders. Foresight. And a whole lot of fire.
I recently conducted 2-Day Syncoro Startup GTM Bootcamp and let me say this straight:
It wasn’t a workshop.
It was a startup soul-search.
We brought together 16 curated early-stage startup founders including a few from our own portfolio companies, all ready to move from product to traction, one GTM sprint at a time.
From MVP confusion to messaging clarity,
from pricing paralysis to customer psychology…
We didn’t talk about GTM.
We built it. Together. From scratch.
Here’s what I didn’t do:
a) I didn’t use a fancy PowerPoint deck, even though I’ve always been that guy who could impress a room with beautifully designed slides with quotable quotes.
b) I didn’t drop management jargon or imported frameworks – the kind that sound smart but do little.
c) I didn’t rattle off what unicorns did when they went to market.
All that? You can find on Google or ChatGPT in seconds.
But what you can’t find there is your own GTM voice.
That’s what we uncovered.
What the founders got out of it?
They discovered their real Ideal Customer, not the imaginary one in pitch decks.
They crafted hooks, not hype.
They stopped selling features and started selling futures.
And most importantly: they found clarity, confidence, and a GTM plan they can act on.
My approach?
Simple. Raw. Real.
Ask. Listen. Poke. Push.
Challenge assumptions. Rethink positions.
Then rebuild the playbook, founder by founder.
I didn’t walk in with slides.
I walked in with curiosity, whiteboard pens, and a bias for execution.
Every insight was born in the moment.
Every feedback was founder-specific.
Every aha moment? 100% earned.
Why was it so fulfilling for me?
Because I saw potential turn into purpose.
Because I watched that spark in a founder’s eye when clarity kicked in.
Because I believe:
“Energy is infinite. But direction defines destiny.”
And all they needed was the right nudge in the right direction.
This wasn’t just a bootcamp.
It was a belief camp.
A space where founders unlearned fluff and embraced focus.
The kind of focus that leads to traction.
The kind of traction that leads to funding.
And the kind of funding that fuels impact.
I’m now more excited than ever to take this format to other cities…
To empower more early-stage founders…
To turn more ideas into income…
And confusion into conviction.
Because every startup deserves more than just a great product.
They deserve a go-to-market that actually goes somewhere.
A special note of appreciation to Dr. Nikita Vadsaria, Head – Strategic Partnerships at Syncoro Ventures Private Limited, for her invaluable contribution in curating the content and shaping the flow of the bootcamp.
