About the GTMcraft OS: The European GTM Operator

The only GTM newsletter written from inside a European operator’s week, backed by a live signal engine of 100,000+ GTM signals.

Last updated: 31 July 2026

Most GTM content is written by people who stopped operating. This one is not.

I run go-to-market teams daily. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I take what happened in my own week, or what the signal engine surfaced that week, and turn it into 1 move you can run before Friday.


Who this is for

  • European B2B founders and GTM operators on a lean team, scaling towards their next 2M, 5M or 10M EUR ARR.

  • Not enterprise VPs with 40 people and a RevOps function. Operators who carry a number, run a small team, and have to make profitable growth work without a hiring budget to hide behind.

  • Each leg of scale needs its own motion: a new country, a move upmarket, or a new product line. The recurring question here is which motion you are on, and whether you should go deep on 1 country before adding another.


What you get, 3 times a week

  • Monday: Week in the Trenches. What actually happened in my operating week. The decisions, the mistakes, the things that worked. First person, with numbers.

  • Wednesday: Applied GTM. A real GTM problem, injected with named expert thinking from the signal engine, filtered for what a lean team can run, and wired to a play.

  • Friday: Applied AI. AI put to work on a GTM motion. Pipeline, demand, deals, renewals. AI is the amplifier, never the subject.

Every edition ends the same way: read everything, ship 1 thing.


The engine underneath

I have been mining GTM content since 2022 and turning it into micro-lessons. 4 live databases, enriched daily and weekly.

  • GTM Newsletter Signals. 10,000+ signals from 40+ active newsletter sources.

  • GTM LinkedIn Signals. 100,000+ signals from 15,000+ GTM LinkedIn posts.

  • GTM Podcast Signals. 1,500+ signals from close to 2,000 GTM podcasts.

  • GTM Plays. 125+ plays, including 54 GTM plays and 19 AI plays.

The corpus is the injection. The operator voice on top is mine. European perspective, global expertise, both at once.


What is free and what is paid

Free, always. The 3 weekly editions. Every single play, linked straight to Notion, no gate, no form. Browse the plays.

Paid subscription. Scale on plays, not prompts.

  • The GTM Skills database, the skill layer that runs the plays.

  • The full archive. Editions stay open for 4 weeks, then move behind the subscription.

  • The GTMcraft OS Operator Room, where the unfiltered conversations happen (additional paid tier), incl. the full plays database connected into your own AI or Claude context, so your team builds on the whole corpus instead of one-off prompts. DM for access.

Reading 1 play is free on purpose. The membership is not access to a play. It is wiring the whole system into how your team already works.


Who runs this

I am Koen Stam. I am a GTM operator in the trenches daily, not a consultant writing about it.

I have scaled to 10M+ EUR ARR 3 times. I now run 4 different motions, each on its own 10M+ trajectory, heading past 40M ARR together. I am Co-Chapter Lead for Pavilion Benelux.

Everything published here is what I run, what I got wrong, or what I have watched work for operators I trust. When a number is not mine, I name whose it is and link the source.


Start here

  1. Subscribe free. 3 editions a week, no gate.

  2. Open the plays page and run 1 play for the band you are in.

  3. Reply to any edition and tell me the problem you are stuck on. That is where most plays start.

Master your GTM skills inside GTMcraft,
