ZoomInfo<\/a> just made a bold move: they changed their Nasdaq ticker from $ZI to $GTM.<\/p>\n

From our lens, this is a brilliant move and signals something far bigger than a rebrand.<\/p>\n

The market also took notice. ZoomInfo shares jumped 7.4% to $10.04 on the day of the announcement!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bet and a signal that go-to-market isn\u2019t just a function, it\u2019s the system every company needs to win.<\/p>\n

GTM is having its moment (and it\u2019s just getting started)<\/h3>\n

To really understand what\u2019s happening, let\u2019s zoom out.<\/p>\n

Shipping product is easier than ever. AI has eaten chunks of the stack. Cursor, Poolside, Create, GitHub Copilot \u2013 tools like these are turning weeks of engineering work into prompts.<\/p>\n

Even Sam Altman said Cursor might be the most exciting app-layer product he\u2019s seen because it can basically write code for you.<\/p>\n

What that means for founders is simple: the technical moat is shrinking.<\/p>\n

So if the playing field is leveling on the build side, what\u2019s left? Distribution.<\/p>\n

Go-to-market becomes your edge.<\/p>\n

This is the wave ZoomInfo is riding. And it\u2019s the same one we\u2019ve been building around at GTMfund for years.<\/p>\n

What ZoomInfo is really saying with $GTM<\/h3>\n

For years, ZoomInfo was known as the best B2B data company in the world. \u201cData\u201d was their identity. But they\u2019ve transformed from just B2B data to a broader scope, a full platform for go-to-market operators. CEO Henry Shuck shares a quick video on this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ZoomInfo is betting its public identity on a new idea: that companies no longer win just by having the best product \u2013 they win by going to market better and faster than anyone else. The team proudly shared thoughts on this moment, like the COO here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their updated platform reflects that:<\/p>\n
