Too much noise.
Not enough growth.
Let's fix that.

Weekly Go-To-Market advisory for startup founders who need decisions, not meetings.

Vertical SaaS eCommerce B2C / D2C Fintech AdTech / MarTech

30 min. No pitch. Just your real challenges.

The most productive hour of my week. Direct, focused, and always actionable.
— Guy Kohn, Founder & CEO
The Problem

You don't have a strategy problem. You have too many answers and not enough clarity.

Executing but the needle isn't moving
GTM plan exists. Nobody follows it
Every week is a new fire drill
How It Works

Real decisions. Not another meeting.

Stop optimizing everything. Double down on what works.

01
Me
Prep

I review everything before we meet. No cold starts.

02
Us
Session

60 min. We make decisions, not conversation.

03
You
Execute

A prioritized task list. Reviewed next session.

Your one hour is the output of my preparation — not the other way around.

Why Me
Etgar Shpivak - Go-To-Market Advisor

I've been the founder in that room.

I built it — grew from zero to hundreds of paying clients, including AutoTrader, Purple, and Globo — hired wrong, ran low on runway, pivoted, and exited successfully. I've been both the founder and the marketer. I see what you can't, because I'm not inside it.

🚀

💡

The operator's eye

What We Work On

Real sessions. Real output.

Every session ends with something you can use. Not a framework.

"We're running. Nothing's compounding."I find the segment nobody's scaling, the channel quietly profitable.

Session Output

FOUND: Profitable segment — never targeted

FOUND: Top message — never scaled

RESULT: Same budget. Better numbers.

"Campaigns are running. Nothing converts."Creative, audience, offer, landing page — you leave with a kill/fix/scale list.

Session Output

MEASURED: CRM → Meta & Google via Offline Conversions

SHIFTED: Leads → qualified opportunities

RESULT: CPL flat. SQL rate up 40%

"The homepage explains us. Nobody cares."We find the real value prop and rewrite headline, subhead, and CTA.

Session Output

BEFORE: "The all-in-one platform for service teams"

AFTER: "Your team closes tickets faster."

CTA: "Get started" → "See a 3-min demo"

"Launching next month. Plan is vague."Positioning, sequencing, channels. Who does what.

Session Output

Wk 1: ICP list — 50 named accounts

Wk 2: Cold outbound live

Wk 3: First 5 discovery calls

Wk 4: Retro + iterate

"€8K/mo and three channels want more."Based on your stage and data — you leave knowing exactly where every euro goes.

Session Output

SEPARATED: Brand vs. performance

FOUND: ~35% conversions were brand searches

REALLOCATED: To real incremental channels

"Selling to everyone. Converting no one."We get specific — until your ICP is a person, not a category.

Session Output

MAPPED: ~50K addressable accounts

SWITCHED: Lead-gen → thought leadership

RESULT: Inbound leads arrived organically

"Getting traffic. Page isn't working."We go through the page like a skeptical visitor. I tell you what to fix first.

Session Output

Fix 1: Social proof above the fold

Fix 2: Remove 3 form fields

Fix 3: CTA → "See a 3-min demo"

Result: Conversion rate up 2.1x
