Emerging

Nobody is searching for your category yet. Good.

Your category has no search demand and no playbook. Buyers don’t know what to call what you make. The company that names the problem and teaches the market sets the terms for everyone who follows, and that can be you.

Who buys and how

Buyers learning the problem as they meet you.

Your early buyers are innovation teams, forward-leaning operators and executives looking for an edge. They need to understand the problem before they can evaluate your solution. Every sale re-explains the category, until marketing does it at scale.
