You are juggling a pile of fundamental GTM questions

RiverForge helps you answer them in the right order, with enough rigor to make decisions, and enough pragmatism to move fast.

How do we stand out from the competition?

Pick a wedge, commit to it, and make it obvious.

Who is our ideal customer?

A real segment with a real buying trigger.

ICP snapshot
What messaging best attracts customers?

Stop being clever. Start being clear.

Message ladder
Sales-led, product-led, or hybrid?

Choose the motion that fits your ACV, urgency, and sales capacity.

PLGHybridSLG
Which channels actually get customers?

Pick two primary channels, build the loop, then add more.

What should the product demo look like?

A demo is a sales argument, not a feature tour.

What is the right pricing model?

Pricing should align to value and reduce friction to buy.
