Summary
Seasoned GTM and sales leader who helps early-stage technical founders find product‑market fit and build repeatable go‑to‑market motions. He focuses on discovering 'desperate' customers, designing targeted proof‑of‑concepts, and scaling initial sales teams without sacrificing culture. unusual+2
Hands‑on operator and founder: Doug has been a first‑time founder (PlayBy, ComingSoon) and uses that founder experience to give founders tactical, sometimes blunt advice on what to build and how to sell it — emphasizing selling and learning before heavy engineering and hype. clay+2
Enterprise and ad‑tech sales background with experience scaling sales organizations at companies acquired or operating at scale (Wildfire → Google, Liftoff, Podium). This background informs his GTM lens: blending enterprise rigor with early‑stage experimentation. oxy+2
Public educator and commentator on early‑stage GTM: publishes the Seed2A newsletter, speaks and teaches in Unusual Ventures’ founder programs (UV Academy), and is active on social media sharing tactical sales and PMF advice. substack+2
