Bring the spiky GTM problem. Leave with the next move.

Focused GTM working sessions for B2B SaaS and AI founders dealing with pitch, ICP, outbound, conferences, enterprise discovery, first sales hires, and UK market entry.

No vague retainer. No bloated strategy deck. Just sharp thinking, practical decisions, and the slice of help you need now.

The almost problem

Founder-led GTM is spiky.

Your pitch is almost clear. Your ICP is almost obvious. Your outbound almost makes sense. Your first sales hire almost feels like the answer.

That "almost" is where founders waste months. Pineapple helps you cut through the sharp edges, pressure-test the assumptions, and leave with a practical next move.

Ongoing support

GTM Coaching, on retainer.

For founders who want a standing GTM partner, not just a one-off session. A regular monthly or quarterly touchpoint, working through whatever's live for you right now: pricing, positioning, a hire, a board update, a stalled deal, the next segment to attack.

Scope stays open on purpose. A fixed-deliverable package doesn't fit an ongoing relationship. Think of this as a standing sparring partner who already knows your business, so every conversation starts from context instead of from zero.

Not fractional. Not a full-time embedded role. See current availability.

No theatre

Not every GTM problem needs a full engagement.

Sometimes you need one strong working session before you make the wrong hire, send the wrong pitch, target the wrong ICP, waste a conference, or walk into a big customer call underprepared.

Coaching makes sense once the relationship is worth it. Until then, prove the value in one useful session.

Founder GTM Office Hours

A few free sessions each month for founders working on interesting B2B SaaS or AI GTM problems.

Fit

Who Pineapple is for

B2B SaaS / AI founders

Especially founder-led sales, pre-seed to Series A.

Product-led teams

You know GTM matters, but you do not want fluffy advice.

Mid-market or enterprise sellers

You need sharper discovery, qualification, messaging, and process.

Teams entering the UK

Useful for US, Israeli, or European SaaS founders testing UK GTM.

Probably not for you if...

  • You want someone to "just do sales" while you avoid the customer.
  • You want generic motivation.
  • You are building a pure consumer app with no B2B sales motion.
  • You have no product, customer hypothesis, or GTM question yet.
  • You want a 40-slide strategy deck instead of a working session.

About

Built by an operator, not a deck factory.

I spent 10 years in SaaS sales and go-to-market, including helping build monday.com's UK new business motion — plus time at Similarweb and Google before that.

Pineapple is for founders who want a practical GTM sparring partner for the specific decision in front of them, not a vague advisor call or a bloated consulting engagement.
