Shameek Bose
Go-to-market strategy · New York City

I help companies scale with go-to-market strategy.

I'm a Davos insider with direct access to the C-suite, and I've raised $100M. I build go-to-market strategies for companies big and small, with a focus on AI, where trust is a growth advantage.

The journey

Twenty years, five rooms, one thread: growth built on trust.

Scroll through the path from Fortune 500 boards to Davos to running my own firm. The numbers count up as you reach each stop.

What I do

Six problems I solve for founders and executive teams. Most engagements combine two or three.

Go-to-market strategy

A plan to reach the right buyers, with the right message, in the right order.

Fundraising

I've raised $100M, and I run a raise like a campaign instead of a string of meetings. I also work with venture capital firms on a referral basis.

Product-market fit

Find out who needs what you're building and what they'll pay for it.

C-suite access

I find the decision makers who can sign, and get you in front of them.

Moving up the value chain

Go from vendor to strategic partner with your best clients.

Customer journeys

Map how your clients buy, so you win more of their wallet share and mind share.

Network

The access I bring

Executives, officials and cultural leaders I know personally. That is the network I open up for clients.
