Elite Founders

Elite Founders: GTM Systems for Solo Founders

Strategy • Execution • Communication

Weekly implementation sessions. Pre-built automations. Frameworks that compound.

You built something that works.
Now you need the operational infrastructure to scale it.

"Demo-to-close went from 15% to 41% in 8 weeks. Not theory—we built the sequences together in the Thursday sessions."
— B2B SaaS Founder, $180K ARR

Operational Infrastructure for Founder-Led Sales

"Solo founders don't need motivation. They need systems they can implement this week and measure next week. That's what we build here."

— Alessandro Marianantoni.

⋅ Pre-built AI Agents workflows you deploy same-week
⋅ CRM sequences proven at 40%+ close rates
⋅ Frameworks to hand your first sales hire—not train them from scratch
⋅ Peer pressure-testing on positioning, pricing, process

Just as elite sprinters don't just run more—they break down every micro-movement, perfect each component, then rebuild for explosive performance—we apply the same precision to building businesses without co-founders.

You're past the fundamentals. You've achieved product-market fit on your own. You have revenue. Maybe a previous exit. But like a solo athlete without a training partner, you need structured practice and peer accountability to reach elite performance.

The Elite Training Method

Train With Active Athletes, Not Retired Coaches

Your trainers are still competing at the highest levels:

  • Alessandro actively runs GTM for Fortune 500 companies
  • Scott has multiple exits and continues building for large clients.

They're sharing what worked in yesterday's practice, not last decade's playbook

Multiple Weekly Training Sessions

We systematically develop different business capabilities through structured practice:

  • Business strategy and model development with Scott
  • GTM execution and implementation with Alessandro
  • Hot Seats: Live problem-solving where founders tackle each other's challenges
  • Between Sessions: Implementation, measurement, and refinement based on real results

The Peer Advantage

Founders at your stage ($100K-$3M ARR) pressure-test your assumptions weekly. No fluff—just pattern recognition from people solving the same problems.

We grew from zero to 40 million in ARR. I personally sold enterprise clients like Amazon, Google, Facebook—all millions in recurring revenue. - Ninh, Elite Founder

Who Makes The Group

You're Ready for Elite Training If:

  • You're a solo founder with revenue OR have exited before
  • You're actively selling and iterating (not just building)
  • You value systematic frameworks over quick hacks
  • You can commit to the sessions
  • You're focused on sustainable operations, not just funding rounds

This Isn't Your Community If:

  • You're still learning the basics (pre-revenue)
  • You want classroom theory, not field practice
  • You think success is about one big play vs. consistent training
  • You can't commit to weekly sessions
  • You're optimizing for TechCrunch headlines over real growth

First-time founders without strong PMF? Start with our Founders Meetings - think of it as JV practice before varsity.

How the Method Works in Practice

"Every Session Builds on the Last—Compounding Weekly Improvements"

This isn't random startup advice.

It's deliberate practice where we break down your business processes, perfect each component, then rebuild for systematic growth.

The Compound Effect:

"After 8 weeks, my demo-to-close rate went from 15% to 40%. Not through one big change, but through systematic improvements we tested each week."

"We can use this tool to capture insights from experiments. The complexity compounds crazy—having this systematic approach to map it out makes decisions easier"

Your Training Progression:

Week 1: Baseline Analysis
We dissect your current GTM process—identifying exactly where deals stall, conversions drop, and opportunities hide.
Week 2: Targeted Implementation
Deploy one specific improvement (new automation, revised sequence, pricing test). Strategy and execution work together—no handoffs, no gaps.
Week 3: Measure & Adjust
Review real metrics from real customers. Did conversions improve? Where did friction occur? Your peers provide live feedback.
Week 4: Scale or Pivot
Double down on what worked, kill what didn't. Every founder reports their numbers—creating accountability that drives results.

FAQ

Most accelerators are classrooms. We're a training facility. You don't sit and learn—you practice, implement, and improve with active coaches still competing at the highest levels.

Sessions are recorded, but like missing team practice, you lose the real-time coaching and peer energy. Most founders prioritize these sessions like athletes prioritize practice.

No. Like learning a new sport, we start with the basics and build up. We demonstrate techniques live and provide templates you can use immediately.

Like athletic training, you'll feel different after the first week, see measurable improvements by week two, and build lasting capabilities over months.

If this is your first time building a business, we have other programs and studios compatible with your current stage.

GTM Engineering combines technical expertise with marketing and sales knowledge to build and optimize the systems that power your go-to-market execution. This includes setting up marketing automation, sales enablement tools, analytics dashboards, and integration between various platforms to create a cohesive revenue engine.

Although we have our favourite tech stack and framework, we're technology-agnostic and work with a wide range of marketing, sales, and analytics platforms. Our team has experience with major CRM systems, marketing automation tools, analytics platforms, and custom solutions. We focus on what will work best for your specific business needs rather than pushing particular vendors.

Depending on the scope of work, for our partners we can typically deploy resources within 1-2 weeks of finalizing an engagement. However, we may be able to expedite this timeline for urgent needs.

We're not a marketing agency, but when we engage with partners, we deploy that level of involvement when it aligns with our integrated approach.

Our CEO/founder has been working on SEO since Google operated under the Stanford web domain. Why does he still do it? Competition.

"I like competition. It's fun. It's like training for the 100-meter dash. You practice drills, perfect different techniques, measure everything in preparation - but then the race is over in a fraction of a second. That moment when you hit 'search' and see where you rank on Google or other search engines. And when one race ends, you start all over again, refining your technique and measuring what worked versus what didn't."

This competitive discipline is why, despite being a very small business, when you search for "online accelerators," "GTM engineer," and many other keywords, we consistently rank on the first page of Google.

We offer SEO services to select partners where it fits our venture studio model - typically when it's part of building their complete go-to-market engine (strategy + execution + communication). We don't do SEO in isolation; we build it as the foundation.

If you're interested in exploring this, schedule a strategy call to see if there's a fit.

Elite Founders is specifically designed for solo founders and founders with minority partners (<10% equity). Every framework, session, and peer group addresses the unique challenges of building without a co-founder—from decision fatigue to delegation systems. Cehck the Startup Program that you can join with your team.

Our frameworks help you build the operational systems and support structures that solo founders need—many discover they don't need a co-founder (at least for now), just better systems. Others use what they learn to become better partners when they do bring someone on. Either way, you'll make the decision from strength, not stress. Solo founders who eventually add partners tell us they negotiated better terms and chose better people because they weren't desperate—they were systematized.

Absolutely. Our founder, Alessandro Marianantoni, has worked across technology, arts, sports (SPIKE Series), and entertainment (Disney/Universal partnerships). We believe the most interesting businesses emerge at these intersections. You'll find peers building EdTech platforms, sports analytics tools, creator economy businesses, and cultural tech products—not just pure SaaS.

Yes, intentionally so. We attract systematic builders who often have backgrounds in creative fields, academia, or traditional industries before tech. Our members value thoughtful execution over growth hacking, and many identify as neurodiverse or culturally diverse. If you've ever felt like you don't fit the typical founder mold, you'll find your people here.

Our founder navigated this exact path—from Italy to building Fortune 500 partnerships in the US. Beyond peer support, we provide US market navigation frameworks, cultural translation for business contexts, and warm introductions to US networks that typically take years to build. About 30% of our members are international founders who've chosen the US market.

Most founder communities operate like advisory boards—great for perspective, weak on execution. Elite Founders works like a venture studio for solo founders. We don't just discuss your challenges; we build solutions together. During our Tuesday/Thursday sessions, you're crafting frameworks, and implementing systems alongside peers doing the same.

Many members keep other memberships for strategic networking while using Elite Founders as their implementation studio. Think of it this way: if your other community is your board of advisors, we're your hands-on venture studio team—except you keep 100% equity.
