Episode #26: Sidney Minassian's Foundations

Welcome back to Foundations, with your host, Larisa Hovannisian. Today's guest is Sidney Minassian. Sidney is the founder and CEO of GTM.io, a go-to-market operating firm for B2B tech companies, and he's spent more than 25 years building companies between Silicon Valley and Sydney. He founded Contexti, later acquired by Versent, ran Saasyan, an AI-driven SaaS platform, and co-founded Liaise, a Silicon Valley NLP venture. Saasyan's focus was AI-powered student safety and wellbeing, so he's thought about AI and young people longer than most. What I appreciate about Sidney is how openly he talks about the whole arc. He's lived it all, from rapid growth to hard resets, from acquisition to failure, and he believes commercial rigour and human leadership reinforce each other.
