Going to the market is often a place where great startups stumble, but it doesn't have to be. San Francisco's TechCrunch was hampered in 2025 from October 27th to 29th this year, showing how GTM Pros Max Altschuler and Alison Wagnfeld will win the builder stage to show how they can build an engine that will not only support the product, but also expand it.
Lessons from a large-scale leader
Max Altschuler has seen a journey to the market from all angles. He is a founder (sales hacker), operator (outreach), and now a general partner at GTMFund, supporting the next generation of B2B SaaS startups.
He joins Alison Wagonfeld, CMO for Google Cloud, who leads global marketing on both the Google Cloud platform and Workspace. Between them, you can get startup scrapiness and enterprise accuracy. This is the ideal combo for navigating modern GTM landscapes.
From pitch to playbook: What founders need to know
This conversation is built for early founders and operators looking to turn good ideas into real growth. Expect to tactically jump into metrics that are actually important when you raise, scale, or pivot your messaging, sales employment, demand GEN, and GTM plans. Whether you're pre-registration or preparing for overgrowth, this is the type of session you want to keep notes. Stay tuned for the remaining names that will be participating in this panel.
