davy.build · GTM Engineer
I help companies grow. With GTM engineering.
For teams who already build: distribution, community, events, content, sales, and conversion. Product work only when it unblocks market motion.
- 01Idea
Find the sharp wedge worth taking to market.
- 02Build
Engineer what is missing, only when the product needs it.
- 03Ship
Get it in front of real buyers, fast.
- 04Market
Turn attention into revenue that compounds.
Proof
Built. Sold. Grown.
Same person in the room for the product and the market. Three outcomes that show the pattern.
Hackages
€3M+/yr
software business
Meetups into a multi-million company
Started with free coding sessions across Europe. That community (13,000+ developers, 470+ events, 7 chapters founded) became the hiring pipeline, the trust layer, and the sales engine for Hackages: a 60-person shop past €3M a year.

build to acquisition
Built a learning platform. Sold it through the room.
Shipped an interactive learning platform, then put it in front of the market the hard way: coding sessions across Europe, company events, and ad-hoc podcasts to reach the right people at the right companies. That distribution, not ads, closed the sale to Kadena.

intent → payment
Doubled revenue by removing friction an engineer can feel
Sat with the team as an engineer, not a consultant with slides. Mapped the real drop-off: people wanted training, then the path to pay fell apart. Went to the lab, built a full payment system, and compressed intent-to-pay to about sixty seconds. Revenue followed.

How we work
GTM engineering for companies who build
You already ship product, or you're close. I join as a fractional GTM engineer: distribution, community, events, founder-led content, sales conversations, conversion. If something in the product is blocking market motion, I can build that too. Building is optional. Getting you to market is the job.
Market motion first
Wedge, channels, pipeline, and conversion, designed by someone who has sold what they shipped.
Distribution you can touch
Meetups, podcasts, workshops, founder-led content: channels that create trust and pipeline across Europe.
Build only when it unblocks GTM
Payment flows, demo paths, product gaps: engineered when friction is the thing killing revenue.
When I join
Get me in. We move fast.
I bring energy from day one. We lock a plan for the first 30, 60, and 90 days, set clear goals, then build hard and iterate at a high cadence. The best results come when your team can jump on quick checks. Hands-off is possible. Building a company that way is not the best path. That is experience talking.
30 days
Diagnose & wedge
Map the market motion, pick the sharpest wedge, set the scoreboard, ship the first experiments.
60 days
Pipeline in motion
Double down on what works. Kill what does not. Channels, content, and conversion loops running.
90 days
Compound
A repeatable GTM system your team can feel: clearer pipeline, sharper story, faster learning.
Availability beats perfection. Quick feedback loops beat long status decks.
Engagement
A small set of companies. Serious seats.
I'm taking on a focused roster to compound toward aggressive growth in the next sixty days. If you build and need someone who can take it to market (and ship the missing pieces when required), pull me in now.
Can you have this guy right away?
