Market Research & GTM Strategy | AI-Era Competitive Benchmarking
✨ Top Rated | Top 1% in Market Research & Go-To-Market Strategies on Upwork ✨ $185K+ earned on Upwork | 100% Job Success | 5-Star Reviews ✨ Built SaaS from 0 → $1M+ ARR | Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO) I help B2B companies answer the expensive questions before they spend: which market to enter, how competitors actually make money, and where AI belongs in the product and go-to-market plan. Top 1% on Upwork in Market Research and Go-To-Market Strategy. 100% Job Success across 50+ engagements. 10+ years building products and companies, including an EdTech platform taken from zero to $1M+ ARR in its first year. WHAT I DELIVER 👉 Competitive Benchmarking & Market Intelligence Multi-company benchmarking built to scale. Every material claim is labeled fact, estimate, or inference. Sources are tiered and live-linked. The data schema lets the analysis roll up across 10, 20, or 50 companies without reconciliation work. 👉 Go-To-Market Strategy Sprints Positioning, ICP, pricing, channel strategy, and a 90-day launch plan, grounded in research rather than templates. 👉 AI Product Opportunity Assessment Where AI creates real value in your product, what to build first, and what to skip, with a prioritized roadmap your team can execute. HOW I WORK 📍Senior delivery. I run every call and own every deliverable. Nothing is handed off to juniors. 📍Research you can audit. Every number traces to a tiered source your team can verify in under a minute. 📍I build with AI every day. I use Claude Code and AI-assisted research workflows in my own work, so I can tell you what is practical, what is hype, and what is worth the budget. Operator depth in B2B SaaS, EdTech, FinTech, and marketplaces. I've founded and run companies myself (an EdTech platform with 13,000+ learner registrations and a two-location robotics academy with 2,000+ students), so recommendations come with a sense of what's actually executable.
