TOP QUOTES

Wissam Tabbara


[06:10] "The inbound, a separate process, is more a marketing effort. It's a one-to-many conversation you can have."

[10:15] "It's a moving target, right? Because you're running campaigns and your ICP is also continuously growing, right? So how can you really define that at scale? That's actually sometimes a big part of the battle."

[12:47] "Each startup is a different beast."


Matt Wolach

[16:43] "I've kind of long-held the contention that, too many times, founders focus too much on product and don't start marketing early enough, don't start that– that go to market when they should."
