Crazy to me how big of an emphasis is placed on BD in crypto. BD is usually a bullshit job at a startup (rarely do partnerships really matter). Not that different in crypto IMO.

We brought on @dawufi for growth/BD and imo it’s something we def needed.

Might be specific for what we do though

10 years in crypto. co-founder of @syndicate

gtm is figuring out who your high expectation users/customers are + coming up with a plan to systematically find them

BD is mostly partnerships -- but in crypto is this mushy, vibey sales+marketing+partnerships+community hybrid that in practice doesn't really accomplish anything

How do you think about the importance of GTM, and where do you draw the line between that and BD?

Also, are you saying startups shouldn’t hire a BD focused team? Or are you also saying founders shouldn’t do BD (I assume not this)

Wait PMF stands for partnership market fit right?

All about social proof and showing consumers your not scamming them through decent partnerships. Or using those partnerships to cross shill tokens. Only way number go up ;)
