Executive Summary

Many early-stage founders and developer-led startups struggle to turn marketing ideas into prioritized, measurable growth experiments—they get high-level advice or generic templates that don’t map to their codebase, analytics, or release cycles, which leads to slow learning, wasted spend, and reliance on costly consultants. This pain is acute for technical founders who prefer action-oriented, self-serve tools that produce immediate, executable steps rather than strategy decks. Build a self-serve platform that ingests product and analytics context (GitHub, Notion, GA/Segment) and uses AI to generate tailored, prioritized growth playbooks with executable tickets, rollout plans, tracking snippets, and A/B analysis templates so teams can ship and measure experiments in days. The product would produce end-to-end campaign-level strategies — not just copy — and push tasks directly into engineering workflows. The addressable market is roughly $6.0B (2M SMBs × $3K ACV), and current trends—AI capable of campaign-level planning, founders’ demand for low-cost actionable tools, and developer-led stacks requiring deep integrations—make this an attractive opportunity now. You can differentiate by combining AI-driven strategy with developer-first integrations and automated measurement, targeting developer-led startups rather than traditional marketing buyers, but expect engineering-heavy integration work, the need to validate experiment quality, and to prove ROI; mitigations include vertical playbook templates, performance-based onboarding, and tight analytics hooks.
