🚀 Calling All Future Go To Market Leaders: Founding Sales Opportunities at Sequoia-Backed Startups I'm excited to share that multiple of our Seed and Series A portfolio companies are looking for founding GTM (Go-to-Market) hires. These aren't just sales roles – they're big company-building opportunities. Why This Matters: • While we often celebrate technical founders, founding GTM hires can be equally transformative • Distribution often accounts for 50%+ of a startup's success • You'll shape the commercial strategy from day one • Path to leadership as the company scales The Ideal Profile: ✓ Hungry to build something meaningful ✓ Comfortable wearing multiple hats (sales, marketing, strategy) ✓ Creative problem-solver ✓ Resilient and high-energy ✓ Eager to learn and adapt quickly ✓ Sales experience is a big plus ✓ More experienced hires will have a big advantage, but we also believe in the power of unexperienced, hungry and creative This could be an excellent opportunity for those interested in: • Getting early-stage startup experience • Building a GTM function from scratch • Making a significant impact with equity upside • A path into venture capital If you're working at a big company, or another startup but want to get in on the ground floor of something big, email me at [email protected] with: 1. Your name 2. LinkedIn URL 3. Ideal startup sector (SaaS, Security, Hardware, etc.) 4. Why you will be great for founding GTM roles 5. Geographic preferences (these are in-person) If we know each other already and you or a referral are excited, please email me at my work email, text or direct message. Please share this with ambitious professionals who might be perfect for these roles. These opportunities don't come around very often! #Startups #GTM #Sales #Sequoia #Careers #Technology #VentureCapital

We put these into a spreadsheet based on Ben Lang's post from earlier - let me know if anyone wants the sheet
Love this. Thanks for sharing!
Had an interesting idea - shoot it down if you think it sucks but, I am intrigued either way. I come from a pro sports background and if a team wants to sign you or an agent wants to represent you (and make money off you), they approach them - not the other way around, they’ve generally done due diligence and render it something they want to pursue. These people scout around and then reach out to gauge mutual interest, they often make the first move and have the initiative. Could business / investment be more like this? Investment firms scout businesses they want to invest in, instead of being the ones sat there waiting for intros or startups to reach out or recommendations from others. Maybe a platform can be built for startups to broadcast their KPI’s/bios, maybe with testimonials - packed with things that investors are traditionally interested in. Investors can search for a specific industry or stage of investment or even their location to whittle them down. I just think the model of startups reaching out to investors is kind of broken, it I’m sure frustrates investors too. Maybe the process needs flipping and could spark opportunity. Less cold emails to VC’s inbox, instead, the investor finds people they want to chat to.
Sequoia hasn’t backed us just yet 😝 but we are looking to scale and hire GTM leaders for hushh.ai and hushhtech.com which is our investment management business. Full transparency we haven’t raised any money from external investors yet for hushh.ai except for hushhTech.com which funds hushh.ai today from its free cash flow. That being said we don’t plan to raise for hushh.ai atm as we are building a sustainable business that isn’t dependent on VC money until we find scaled PMF.
