Keynote | Turning your GTM pipeline into investor proof

Oct 14, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM

"Investors do not just fund ideas — they fund businesses that can sell. Yet many founders underestimate how much the quality of their go-to-market (GTM) pipeline influences funding decisions. A well-structured, data-driven pipeline is not only a sales tool; it is one of the most compelling signals of commercial traction and operational maturity that investors look for. Drawing on 26 years of sales and leadership experience and his work coaching over 100 startups as an angel investor, Gaurav Kumar — founder of Beyond Codes Inc. and Beyond Calls AI, and board member of Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs — will break down how founders can build GTM pipelines that do double duty: closing customers and unlocking capital."
