There's an old saying among investors: โwhen a new role comes out, a new category is created.โ
Which means a big market cap company has emergedโฆ and the investors just got super rich
eg Marketo (Marketing Automation 1.0) and HubSpot (Inbound Marketing).
And in 2025 the same is happening again. Companies like Clay ($3B, 5x YoY)โฆ.
โฆ or N8N ($2B, 6x YoY) are growing like crazy
and enabling a new category: GTM Engineering
people are raving about those companies!
I also love them. I cant think of going back and not use any of them - we are using them on a daily base and get 10x more done with them.
