Tier B · TL;DR
Most GTM strategies fail because they're built for 2020, not 2025

Claim

Most GTM strategies fail because they're built for 2020, not 2025. I’ve been fortunate to speak to 50+ founders and operators in 2025 about their GTM. Here's what actually works when buyers have changed, budgets are tight, and your engineering team is drowning in technical debt that's killing your sales velocity.

Mechanism

Most GTM strategies fail because they're built for 2020, not 2025.

Conditions

Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).

Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

Evidence

"Most GTM strategies fail because they're built for 2020, not 2025."
