# Harsha Kalbalia on Tal

## Headline

0\-to\-1 GTM \| Developer tools, AI, open source \| Builder

## About

Three 0\-to\-1 GTM builds for completely different audiences: crypto taught me hype, fintech taught me caution, open\-source data taught me proof\. Most of what I know came from communicating with the users directly, through communities, events/meetups, and DMs\. I work AI\-native, usually in the first wave of users for anything promising\. As the first business hire at a dev\-tools startup backed by one of India's largest VCs, I took it from zero to a working GTM engine: 6K\+ MQLs in a year, developer events across the globe, and a community that kept compounding\. Always up for conversations on GTM, technical products, and the tools launched this week\- active on DMs\.
