Engineering Entrepreneurship Program
We want to replace PB jars because they are extremely messy and inefficient; which is a typical statement for all condiment containers, but one that echoes throughout the consumer market. Our team has heard time and time again how annoying it is to extract certain condiments once you only have 25% left of it. And more times than not you are bound to end up with some of that condiment on your hands. It is through PB that Jar~with~a~Twist will enter the expansive condiment container market.

What does it take to create speed in a regulated industry? For Allie Carey, Chief Strategy Officer at SEI, it meant designing a system that could turn hundreds of ideas into real ventures (without adding chaos). Over three years, she: • Built a culture of experimentation across SEI. • Launched a company-wide innovation contest (with real stakes). • Narrowed 30 ideas down to 10 pitches, to 2 experiments, to 1 live business. • Took one idea from concept to paying customers in just 18 months. We tried something new this week on Beyond The Core and built her full playbook live. It’s how SEI increased decision speed, improved throughput, and built a pipeline of repeatable ventures.

Go-to-market deserves the same rigor as product development. We prototype products, we obsess over UX, we debate pixels…and then we run sales as a loose collection of decks, demos, and instincts. What Jeanne DeWitt Grosser (COO of Vercel) articulated so clearly in this clip from our podcast conversation is that sales is an experience. Being sold to is an experience. And if you don’t choreograph it, you’re still creating an experience (just accidentally). If you treat GTM like a product, the experience is deliberately created.

PSA to seed and early-stage founders: stop worrying about competition. I’ve spoken to hundreds of late-stage founders, and they all say the same thing. The biggest mistake they see at the early stage is founders obsessing over who else is in their space. When you are pre-PMF, comparing yourself to other buzzy AI startups is a distraction. They already have a defined GTM motion, some level of product-market fit, and a playbook to execute. Their “big new feature” might just be about expanding revenue or building parity. You’re still trying to land your first 10 paying customers. Here’s the truth: 1. Worry about competitors only when you actively lose a deal to them. THESE ARE THE COMPETITORS TO WORRY ABOUT. 2. When a customer chooses someone else, they will usually tell you why. Nine times out of ten it’s not the reason you think. It’s rarely a missing feature. More often it’s pricing, brand trust, or timing. 3. Competitors often move in completely different directions. OpenAI went after consumers, while Anthropic leaned into enterprise and APIs. Playbooks diverge fast. 4. The only real roadmap at the early stage is customer pain. Every conversation, every demo, every user insight. Talk to as many customers as possible. If you spend your time trying to copy what competitors are doing, you will always be a step behind. If you spend your time talking to users, you’ll know exactly what to build next. The path to PMF isn’t found on Twitter threads about “AI competitors.” It’s found in the feedback from the 5 people actually using your product every single day.
