A go-to-market strategy is the plan for how a product reaches and converts its customers: the ICP, the positioning, the channels, and the motion (self-serve, sales-led, community). An MVP without one launches into silence.
Early GTM is small and concrete — a distribution plan for the first hundred users, not a marketing org chart.
Treating GTM as a post-launch task. Channel reality should shape the product: if users arrive from search, onboarding carries the burden; if founders sell each account, the product can lean on hand-holding longer.
Practical answers
Alongside scoping — the channel and motion change what the MVP must include. A self-serve product needs onboarding an enterprise pilot doesn't.
A defined ICP, one channel you'll work consistently, a landing page with tracking, and a weekly cadence of real outreach. Everything else is optimization.
