DEVGUILD:
DEVELOPER-FIRST
GO-TO-MARKET
DEC. 14-16th, 2021
An efficient developer-first go-to-market is something many developer startups desire. From Twilio, to Datadog, to Snyk - the merits of low-cost user-to-user marketing, short sales cycles, and product-led growth are undeniable.
We brought together 280 founders, execs, and GTM leaders to discuss the multi-pronged approach that companies take to build a product loved by developers, and sold to the enterprise.
The best founders and early product teams marry vision with usage data and feedback from early users. They listen with open minds, but always with the knowledge that some voices are all wrong.
Taste and judgment matter and make the difference between surviving and shutting down. How does product vision survive first contact with users, then evolve to meet the right developer’s needs?
Congratulations, you’ve got developer love, an expanding community, and you’re ramping to repeatable revenue – only you can’t seem to truly leverage this momentum, what’s wrong?
Every GTM motion is different from the next, even those built around a similar framework. What patterns let you reliably predict expansion revenue? How often should you revisit packaging?

There are two challenges every developer startup faces when navigating the leap into enterprise: understanding when your company is ready, then taking the leap and proving that you are ready.
If you’re moving into the enterprise, you’ll want to know target benchmarks around total revenue, average deal size, how your community is shaping up, and how technically ‘enterprise ready’ your product is.
