GTM Results Delivered For:
Scalemotion runs the GTM review, coaching, and embedded operator support that catches the gap before it turns into a boardroom surprise, a bridge round, or diluted ownership.
GTM Results Delivered For:
Diligence tests the product and the market. It rarely tests whether the founder can build a sales team that works without them.
Revenue climbs from €100K to €1M, then flattens. A VP of Sales is hired, the number doesn't move, and the founder is still on every call. The usual fixes are a new sales leader, a bridge round, or another quarter of waiting. Each one costs runway or ownership.
Hans Bakker built sales engines at companies like Elastic, ClickHouse, and SailPoint, often from the ground up to a repeatable growth engine. He knows what the stall looks like from the inside, and how to fix it before the next round.
AI-native companies can ship a product and show a clean revenue chart within months of a seed round. When every pitch has early traction, traction stops telling you much. The Series A question has shifted from “is it growing?” to “will it keep growing once the founder steps back?”
Tighter capital has sharpened that question. With fewer active investors in the market (Antler counts Series A investors down 45% since 2022), every check gets more scrutiny. New money is expected to accelerate an engine that already works, not fund the build of one.
That leaves the companies you backed at seed held to a standard they weren't built for. A GTM review shows whether a company can meet it while there's still time to close the gap.
Scalemotion works directly with the teams that back the founders. That includes support during due diligence, analytics on why a growth target was missed for the second time, and hands-on support scaling a portfolio company's commercial engine.
A structured read on a portfolio company's sales organization, process, and team, delivered as a board-ready report. Built to answer one question: is the GTM motion the reason growth is stalling, or something else.
Outcome: A clear call on whether to invest, follow on, or intervene, backed by a 90-day plan to fix what the review finds.
Embeds GTM advisory directly with the founder and leadership team to protect the investment. It's the same monthly operator coaching model Scalemotion runs with its own clients, built for a team that needs structure, not a one-off workshop.
Outcome: A founder who stops being the sales team, and a company with the repeatable motion it needs to raise its next round.
In some high-stakes moments, advisory and coaching aren't enough, and the situation calls for a trusted operator embedded within the portfolio company: a route-to-market restructure, resizing the team to fit the stage, or another moment that actually matters. Not a headcount replacement. A second set of experienced hands in the room.
Outcome: A critical moment handled by someone who has done it before, so you don’t have to step in yourself or wait out a full-time executive search.
Five analyses Scalemotion publishes on where GTM breaks, built from primary and cited research, not opinion.
