Josh Norris

Josh Norris is a strategic leader in capital-efficient GTM design and post-raise execution for high-growth SaaS companies. He partners with founders and CFOs to ensure new capital converts into predictable, investor-grade revenue systems rather than uncontrolled burn.

He has advised 60+ Series A-D startups, helping teams eliminate burn drift, professionalize reporting, and build GTM infrastructure that supports follow-on funding. His work has contributed to multiple clients reaching seven-figure ARR within their first year and advancing to subsequent rounds.

Josh previously led GTM, revops, partnerships, and business development at Hyperbound, scaling from zero to $5M ARR in under two years, and at Lavender during the 2022 downturn. He also managed a 36-engineer organization at a publicly traded SaaS company, giving him a rare systems-level perspective on how revenue, product, and capital deployment align.

The moment the wire hits the bank is the most dangerous point in a startup's lifecycle. Josh operates as the architecture partner between board expectations and execution, ensuring every dollar deployed compounds.

Took a break from LinkedIn over the holidays to spend time with family. Today, I flew to Tokyo to spend 11 days with Eli Al-Shamari, Patrick Dajos 🐉, and 12 other SF-based founders. 

We’re here for fun, community, and quality time with likeminded builders.

It’s also my first time in Japan and the first real vacation I’ve given myself in years. I’m long overdue for a creative recharge.

I’ll share stories and pics!

My latest toxic opinion is that AI started using the em dash so much because the em dash is a uniquely superior punctuation mark—the best at conveying complex thoughts-within-thoughts—and the only reason the em dash has a stigma now is because most of you aren’t good enough writers to have recognized its value and used it before AI did. So now you see it as new, superfluous, and annoying—just another symbol of AI frivolousness—instead of the useful literary tool that it is. 

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Please enjoy this poem from a clothing tag from when I was shopping earlier in Shibuya. 

Words are light.

Ode to penguins.

I help B2B revenue teams stop guessing and start generating predictable pipeline through systematic testing and data-driven outbound.

Most companies build their go-to-market on recycled playbooks and assumptions. We build systems that validate who you're targeting, what you're saying, and what you're offering—then scale what actually works.

I bring a seller's lens to GTM strategy. After 10+ years leading B2B sales teams - from managing reps at HomeAdvisor to building Sales Development at Webflow from Series B through Series C - I know what salespeople actually need to succeed. 

Not more leads. 
Better leads.
 
Not another tool. 
Systems that work.

What it modern revenue engines look like...  intelligent data enrichment + automation (Clay, n8n) + precision targeting. Not spray-and-pray. Not hoping your ICP is right. Just repeatable frameworks that we're always testing - turning raw company data into actionable intelligence.

The results:

80% reduction in research time while maintaining 95%+ data accuracy
3X qualified pipeline increases through targeted messaging
40% response rate improvements by leading with relevance and offer positioning
323% sales increases through systematic prospecting and account prioritization

At Korus GTM, I lead strategy and client success across the entire revenue engine. We implement modern infrastructure and automation workflows that create a flywheel of accurate, useful data so Sales closes better, CSMs retain smarter, and ABM targets with relevance. 

I'm a trusted partner who helps shape the strategy, architecture, and messaging while ensuring our technical team's execution stays aligned with what actually moves the needle.

I work with growth-focused B2B companies ready to move from broad-based prospecting to precision-targeted engagement across their entire customer lifecycle. 

If you're measuring what matters and willing to kill what doesn't work, let's talk

"It's way too versatile to not use it a lot"

Used Claygent a lot in 2025 to help companies get some cool data insights at scale.  The best ones used that to make their revenue team more effective.

Here's a few simple ways we used it to drive millions in revenue for our clients and our client's clients...

USDOT 
SEC Action
10K Analysis
Legal Signals
Pharma Trials
Location Details
ICP/TAM Analysis
Real Estate Records
Closed Lost Analysis 
New OSHA Violations
Custom Account Scoring 


Finding the info that actually matters is usually the difference between campaigns that Win and camps that Lose.

Makes it really rewarding to find the unique little info nuggets that drive a big impact.


What are some of the most creative ways you're seeing Clay being used today?
