50 emerging GTM tech companies you need to know
We found some great companies and highlighted 15 of the best.
Our research shows 81% of companies are experiencing slowdowns in their sales velocity.
50% are missing their 2023 pipeline targets.
This creates tremendous opportunity for new and emerging tech to solve these problems. In times of struggle, companies become more willing to try new things.
But what should you try?
We’re here to help with our latest research: The Emerging Technology Report: GTM Vendor Edition.
Macroeconomic Trends
Adoption of GTM Tech is still growing.
In fact, from 2022 to 2023, the adoption of Go-to-Market technology increased 10% on average across categories. Increases range from a slight 2% increase for Leadership & Management technology on the low-end to a healthy 42% increase for RevOps tech on the high-end.
However, the average growth rate was 38% for the previous six years. So although 10% is decent, it’s going to feel like the bottom is falling out for Go-to-Market leaders who are used to almost 40% annual growth.
In the chart above, check out the adoption of technology in the Customer Time to Value and Expansion pillars: they grew on average 79% annually in the prior six years, but only grew 19% since 2022.
