AboutIn the host's words.

Distribution is now the hardest part of building a startup, and AI has made it harder! Every company has the same agents, the same playbooks, and the same public data, so most AI-driven outbound and content just blends into the noise. The founders who win are the ones with real positioning, real taste, and a growth engine that doesn’t run through them. This is a private dinner for funded, engineering-led founders who’ve built something great and now need to sell it. You’ve raised and the product works. Now comes the part they don’t teach in CS programs: positioning, pipeline, first sales hires, and building a growth engine that doesn’t depend on the founder running every demo. At this dinner you'll get to learn from Andrew Lee Miller, a 20 year growth consultant about what's working in the trenches and what to focus on for 2027. What we’ll dig into How the AI companies we work with are out-marketing their competitors When and how to move beyond founder-led sales When (and who) to hire first for marketing, sales, and growth The GTM mistakes funded startups make in their first 12–18 months How AI search and AI-native tools are changing growth in 2027 No pitches, no panels. Just a great meal in a private penthouse, a curated room of peers, and practical advice from operators who’ve seen this movie before. Who this is for Engineering-focused founders who’ve raised a pre-seed, seed, or Series A and still need to figure out growth. Seats are limited, and every registration is reviewed for fit. Your hosts Andrew Lee Miller is the founder of GrowthExpertz, a startup marketing and fractional CMO firm that has helped 150+ funded B2B and SaaS startups build their go-to-market since 2016. He helped scale Retention.com to $70M ARR, took GreySkies to $7M ARR bootstrapped, and has led growth at Unstoppable.ai, withQ.ai, and Nebula.io and many many more. Before GrowthExpertz, Andrew led growth at three companies that went on to exit. He’s the author of two best-selling growth books, hosts the Funded, Now What?! podcast, and has spoken on startup growth in 15+ countries. Andrew Boos is the founder of Darwinian Ventures, with more than a decade in early-stage startup sales and business development. Details Tuesday, November 17 · 6:00–9:00 PM Private penthouse, San Francisco. Address shared with approved guests only.
