Yusuf Ahmed

GTM engineer. Founder of Zevenue. Toronto.

I'm Yusuf. I've spent ten years in go-to-market, first carrying a bag as an SDR, then building the systems behind it. Since 2021 I've run Zevenue, a GTM engineering firm in Toronto: we design and run the pipelines, agents and data that startup GTM teams sell from, and we teach founders and operators to build their own.

Lately I build and test AI for go-to-market: agent systems in production for clients, the content below, and GTM Open, where I run independent evals on the models, research agents and data vendors GTM teams buy.
