Sangram Vajre: For the last twenty years in Silicon Valley, the mantra was 'build a great product and customers will beat a path to your door.' That era is officially dead. When an AI tool can analyze your application and recreate your core features over a weekend, product is no longer your moat. What protects your business now? Your go-to-market. Your ability to connect with high-propensity ICP accounts, guide them through a differentiated point of view, and deliver time-to-value in days rather than months. Great companies don't just engineer code; they engineer their revenue operating system. That is why CEOs who take ownership of GTM create lasting enterprise equity while product-only founders find themselves competing in a race to the bottom.
