Happy New Year! I'll keep saying that until we're well into February, and you can't stop me.

I feel like I could talk to Emily for hours every time she comes on the pod. Emily Kramer is Co-Founder at MKT1. MKT1 helps founders and marketers build and scale their marketing functions through investing (MKT1 Capital fund) and advising. Emily was on the pod before, listen to Ep. 141 “Mistakes To Avoid When Hiring Your First Head of Marketing.” It’s a Top 5 most listened to episode of all time.

In this episode:

What are some warning signs you look for before you invest in or advise an early stage startup;

What does "win on GTM" actually mean;

GTM strategy is more than just marketing so why'd you decided to focus all your energy on positioning around "marketing excellence" when you communicate your positioning and messaging and content with MKT1;

I wanted to dig into the MKT1 Capital Fund, specifically return on investment expectations with this fund and what makes you different from other funds;

AMA - Emily asks me her burning question.
