GTM On My Mind
Traditional media coverage of seed fundraises has diminished since reporters simply don’t have the resources to cover every round. As a result, startups are finding new ways to capture attention. What’s interesting is that these efforts aren’t just about visibility; they’re also generating customers and revenue from the outset. Marketing is becoming a core growth motion from Day 1.
Consider Cluely, they kicked off the trend with a viral launch video on X. Their first campaign drew 13M views with the provocative tagline “cheat on everything” despite little clarity on their product. Within four months, they secured a Series A from a16z and followed up with billboard campaigns in Times Square.
Since then, the trend has accelerated. Just this week, astrology startup Arcarae released a vague launch video that reached 7.3M views in a single day. AnswersAI marketing videos have certainly cracked this virality with 90m views!
Meanwhile, companies like Replit and Lovable have tapped into X and the vibecoding movement to scale to $100M+ ARR in under a year often with remarkably lean teams.
Skeptics question the sustainability of this growth. But these are real revenues at a scale and speed not seen before. While churn rates are higher, the ability to capture substantial revenue early provides both resources and confidence to refine strategy. In many cases, this rapid path to revenue is proving more compelling than traditional enterprise growth models.
I am DYING to share some of our portfolio company launches for Runable, Wabi, LastApp, and Flamingo soon! Sign up on their waitlists if you want to hear from them directly!
