In this episode, I pull out some of the key DevTools lessons I've learned in the last 120 interviews. Including:The importance of deeply understanding the problem you're solving by talking to developers directly, as emphasized by Adam Frankl.Ant Wilson's advice on experimenting with different go-to-market strategies and channels rather than relying on conventional wisdom. Zeno Rocha's emphasis on the importance of the last mile—packaging and presentation. He shares how spending more time on documentation and onboarding materials helped his open-source project gain massive traction.Gonto's perspective that "it's better to be different than better," and how creativity, uniqueness, and understanding developer habits are key to successful marketing.My personal reflections on overcoming fear and discomfort in go-to-market efforts.This episode is brought to you by WorkOS.

The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Martin Gontovnikas, a.k.a Gonto, is a software engineer at heart who moved to the “dark side” to focus on Marketing. With this career transition, he found a way to combine his 2 passions by applying his “engineering thinking” model to Marketing. He is now a B2B SaaS Advisor to Vercel and Airbyte among others and Co-Founder & GP of Hypergrowth Partners. Previously, he was SVP of Marketing and Growth at Auth0. In Today's Episode with Martin Gontovnikas (Gonto) We Discuss: 1. From No Idea to Growth Leader: How Gonto made his way into the world of growth when it was not a thing? What does Gonto know now that he wishes he had known when he entered the world of growth? Why does Gonto believe product and marketing is more important than sales and marketing? 2. Growth: What, When and Who: What is growth? What is it not? What do people misunderstand most with growth? When is the right time to hire your first growth person? What is the right profile for the right first growth hire? Junior? Senior? 3. Mastering PLG and Enterprise: What are the single biggest mistakes startups make when scaling into enterprise? Why does Gonto believe that all PLG companies should start with 6-8 design partners? Is it possible to do enterprise and PLG at the same time? How does one provide enough value in a PLG motion to convert enterprise buyers? 4. Data vs Intuition: Art vs Science: Is growth more art or science? Why does Gonto believe qualitative data is more important than quantitative? How does Gonto think about psychology when selling and marketing? What do so few startups? understand about the psychology of their customers? How does Gonto approach messaging and what is truly great product marketing?
“Community” is a major buzzword today, and for good reason. Community creates leverage, and lots of it. Gonto ran marketing and growth at Auth0 for 7 years before the $6.5 billion acquisition by Okta. He cuts through the buzzword noise to give us his perspective and playbook on why (and how) to win with a community strategy.Key Takeaways:[00:27] Overview — Building a community[02:24] Defining community, and why is it trending[04:56] Creating communities through open source products, enterprise solutions, and other methods[08:55] How to identify members to target if you're building from scratch[13:31] Tapping into existing communities and identifying communities to target[21:17] Doing research with a user, interviewing developers, and engaging on Twitter[26:30] What does a community team look like, and who owns the effort in a PLG company?[30:02] KPIs and measuring the business value of building communityMentioned in this episode:Sign up for OpenView's weekly newsletterMartin Gontovnika, Co-Founder and General Partner at HyperGrowth PartnersHyperGrowth PartnersSubscribe to Blake Bartlett on YouTube.Podcast produced by OpenView.View our blog for more context/inspiration.OpenView on LinkedinOpenView on TwitterOpenView on InstagramOpenView on Facebook

Pitch : Plusieurs semaines se sont écoulées depuis les événements de GREEN-18 et nos héros sont encore et toujours traqués par les Forces Terriennes. Engagés dans une course poursuite spatiale et sans Hyperespace, Rosten, Kannitsh et Gonto font leur possible pour survivre. Gloomy, quant à lui, découvre la nature de Farra et la raison de sa présence à ses côtés.
La era de Mad Men y Don Draper ya es historia. Hoy en día, el proceso es más importante que la táctica en sí. Cómo buen científico, el trabajo de un marketer es descubrir, a través de la experimentación, las pistas y lecciones que te van a llevar al resultado deseado. Martin Gontovnikas, mejor conocido como Gonto, es un ingeniero de formación que se sintió atraído por "el lado oscuro". Por lo tanto, ha desempeñado su labor como VP of Marketing & Growth dentro de Auth0 con un acercamiento bastante científico y cuantitativo, llevándolo posteriormente a fundar un fondo con un ángulo particular en Hypergrowth Partners. En este episodio, Gonto y yo conversamos sobre el método científico aplicado en experimentación de marketing; el fúnel y la proyección de un modelo de growth; y el impacto que tiene la activación en el "bottom line" de toda empresa. ¡Sigue a Victor Cortés (@cortesvictorh) y a Tracción (@traccion_) en redes sociales para que puedas enterarte de los próximos episodios! Hasta la próxima, atraccionados⚡
Hoy charlamos con Gonto sobre growth marketing, la importancia del método, el síndrome del impostor y como crecer el equipo junto con el proyecto. ¡No te lo podés perder!
En este episodio nos acompaña Martin Gontovnikas, SVP de Marketing & Growth en Auth0. Gonto nos va a contar cómo el clásico libro de Daniel Kahneman, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", le dio herramientas tanto para su vida personal y profesional, y lo ayudó en el crecimiento de Auth0, uno de los unicornios originarios de Latinoamérica. Es un episodio especialmente para cualquier persona interesada en entender cómo pensamos, y para poder reconocer los sesgos cognitivos que tenemos en nuestro proceso de toma de decisiones.
For many of us, remote work is a new experience brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. But for Martin Gontovnikas (aka Gonto) it's just another day at the home office. Gonto is Auth0's SVP of Marketing & Growth and manages a fully remote marketing team. In this episode, he shares lessons learned in remote team management – from how he shows up as a leader and builds trust in a remote environment, to how he sets realistic goals and objectives for his team (plus how he re-allocated budget and re-forecasted pipeline targets when the unexpected happened). And there's one more thing you need to know about Gonto. As a former software engineer, he LOVES experiments. Gonto breaks down how he built a culture of experimentation and testing at Auth0, what makes for a good test, and (you guessed it) how to set goals and measure the success of an experiment.

In this episode we talk to Martin Gontovnikas, VP of Marketing and Growth at Auth0. His friends call him "Gonto" and here's what he shared about applying product principles to marketing: 1) There's no silver bullet. Never trust the people who says "Facebook Ads always works". It's all around understanding people's habits. I do that through qualitative interviews for the target persona. 2) It's all about experimentation. Define short experiments, validate them, learn from the failures and double down on successes. 3) You can do User Testing or User Research for your marketing campaigns before building them out. The most expensive thing you can do is build. Therefore, we try to only build and work on campaigns that will work.

El trabajo de manager en programación no es una promoción sino un cambio total de profesión. Hoy le dedicamos un episodio a la transición que vive un desarrollador de software cuando pasa de un rol de contribuidor individual a uno del lado de management. Explicamos las diferencias entre trabajar para uno mismo y trabajar dirigiendo a otros, por qué es erróneo pensar que es una consecución lógica del programador experimentado y cuáles son los mayores retos cuando asumes este nuevo rol.

We’ve separated this episode into 4 sections. In each of them we’ll be explaining different issues that might arise when you move from being an individual contributor (IC) to both a manager as well as a manager of managers. In each section, Guido and Gonto will be sharing some of the solutions they’ve found that worked for them, as well as some examples of both good habits as well as fuck ups.Key Learnings:* When you’re an IC, you have full control of (mostly) everything you do. When you’re a manager, that’s no longer true. In the first section, we’ll talk about a few solutions for this.* When you’re an IC, you’re the one who ships stuff. When you move to be a manager, your job is to enable people to ship and execute better. In the second section, we’ll share some insights about how to better do this transition* For a company to succeed, you need to both hire people smarter than you as well as hiring for your weaknesses. In the third section, we’ll discuss how to handle this.* Being a manager of ICs is very different from being a manager of managers. Last but not least, we’ll discuss how to do this transition effectively.
