    Big news today: The Swarm 🔆 is acquiring Commsor. Over the past six years, Commsor helped shape the Go-To-Network category and how revenue teams can lean on their broader company networks to grow. I've always admired w…

    I spent years at Sequoia, and one thing has always been obvious to me: the best firms have extraordinary networks... 🤝 But the truth? Most of it lives in the heads and personal rolodexes of partners and teams. At the…

    A VC firm’s network is only as useful as its ability to find the right person to ask. 🤝 I really enjoyed joining Jim Wilson of Costanoa Ventures and Ali Kokaz of One Peak for Data Driven VC’s conversation on how inve…

    Just read the 2026 State of B2B GTM Report from Kyle Poyar and Maja Voje. They polled 300 B2B software and AI companies to see what's working in GTM. Tl;dr: there are two ways to win right now: 1. being exceptional at…

    The warm intro problem isn’t really an intro problem. It’s a network visibility problem. Loop3 Studio wrote a great piece on what it actually takes to build an investor relationship graph. The part that really resonate…

    Customer success teams are sitting on one of the warmest expansion channels available. Most of them haven't thought to map it yet. We were just sharing this with a prospective customer the other day who has about 80% ma…

    Executives can spot an SDR email from a mile away. But there's a way around it, and it doesn't involve sending more of them! If you're an SDR or junior AE, your job is to set meetings with people who hold budget. The…

    Two identical leads can land on the same day and end up in different universes. The split happens earlier than most salespeople expect. Picture this: same rep, same ICP, same deal size. One lead comes in cold, the othe…

    “No one has solved buying-committee information for enterprise.” A founder working on account intelligence said that on our call this week. They would know: they used to work at LinkedIn and have watched sales teams wre…

    Referrals are the highest-performing channel across every vertical, yet nobody has a system for them! Richard nailed exactly why that's been the case until now. Watching Richard break down relationship mapping at the G…
