Product Marketing for startups

I help startups build repeatable revenue through marketing modeling and tactics that feel more like math than mystery by interviewing your customers to identify your Ideal Customer Profile, and then build that ICP into a revenue and growth model https://www.loom.com/share/82af3600c72d4357ba83df04008e4da0.

As part of this work, we'll look at Annual Contract Price for a customer, Cost Per Lead, length of sales cycle relative to deal size amongst other things. This helps align personas and messaging, and clear demographic and firmographic criteria with sales and marketing investments like hiring and demand generating activities.

Hey there, all of Gremlin's docs can be found at gremlin.com/docs

Hey Itamar, thanks for sharing this.

I definitely started with zero tech experience (and perhaps some ambivalence towards the industry), and build a career out of not much. - Graduated with a writing degree at the height of the 2008-2009 recession - Very minimal business experience - No clue about tech, startups, or entrepreneurship

What I ended up doing was writing job descriptions at startup companies, selling my ability to do content marketing and community marketing until one hired me. Then I did it again 2 years later, got hired again, and then moved to San Francisco to help open a satellite office.

The rest is history.

I wrote more about how other people can create tech jobs from nothing in the book Itamar mentions, and if you want a high level look, the following blog post will be useful:

Thanks for reading, and I hope all of the above is useful!

We put together a number of talks on microservices.com/talks that you can check out.

This one from Uber about their scaling is a good place to start: https://www.microservices.com/talks/scaling-uber-from-1-to-1...

And this one from Ben Christensen of Netflix and Facebook talks about some of the pitfalls https://www.microservices.com/talks/dont-build-a-distributed...

Correct. Microservices are a fundamental tenant of how Unix pipelines. They go back (at least) to the 70s. Source: https://articles.microservices.com/the-origins-of-microservi...

The reference architecture is just below the subscription thing.

This is a post to my corporate site, but I created a list of case studies / blog posts of folks discussing how they've moved over: datawire.io/microservices-stories.

I have a bigger list that I haven't had time to put on the site. If you'd like them, I'm happy to create an open google sheet for you.
