So, in March of that year, the then-scrappy startup decided to run an experiment. That little meetup inspired the first Gainsight Pulse conference later that year in San Francisco. In fact, there were only about 1,000 CSMs globally, which made the total addressable market (TAM) look almost nonexistent.

“I get that the continuous discovery habits framework works well for mature products, but does it work for early-stage startups?”. I spent all of my full-time employee experience at early-stage startups (many of them pre-product) and I relied on these same habits to figure out what to build. This question always surprises me.

When I first joined, the startup I work at had often been stuck with a backlog of products and services to create. Our startup’s sales team is incredibly talented and sells successfully – but does not necessarily sell products that have already been developed. In roadmapping meetings, everyone should be engaged in refining it.

Get comfortable traveling to your audience rather than expecting them to come to you, whether that’s conferences related to your product or meetups organised by like-minded people. The most obvious carrot in many cases is a tech conference that fits your target customer audience. It’s not a conference’s job to do a good job for you.
