GTM/Growth, May 2026

AI Tinkerers Seattle continues our GTM track. This series is dedicated to the discipline of building AI and automation to accelerate go-to-market and growth functions. We are convening builders who are actively shipping systems—from custom LLM-powered sales agents to automated content pipelines—to share architecture, trade-offs, and what broke.

This is a high-trust room for candid technical work. We prioritize live demos and deep implementation notes over abstract strategy or product pitches.

What to Expect

• The GTM Changelog: A popcorn-style experience share of the latest GTM/Growth tools, changes, and AI updates this past month.
• Live Demos: Short, code-first presentations focused on GTM/Growth AI tools.
• Technical Q&A: Deep dives into implementation notes, agentic workflows, and stack decisions.
• Vetted Networking: Connect with engineers, founders, and researchers shipping real AI products.

Call for Demos

We are seeking builders to present their work. This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in GTM engineering. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this?” not “Why should someone buy this?”

If you are building GTM or growth systems that use AI, we want you on stage.

Event Details

Registration & Curation

Entry is selective by design. We maintain a high signal environment by requiring demonstrable proof of hands-on work with AI for entry. Space is strictly limited to 50 active builders and these events are very popular; we recommend registering early and being detailed in your registration to secure a spot on the list.
