Why We Keep Showing Up: Lessons from the Forum Ventures AI GTM Event

It's easy to focus hard on the what – the next job, client needs, new tools – and maybe lose sight of the why behind your work.

We get it. At TalleFlow, we face our own daily list of 'whats'—deadlines, features, feedback.
But we stay anchored in our why: building a platform that truly serves you.

That's why we attend events like last night's talk,

“The New GTM Playbook in the Age of AI,”
hosted by Forum Ventures at Cooley LLP.

It felt so key.
It was a chance to remember who we build for, and why their success means so much.

So, how do we make sure we truly understand what you need?

We’re Listening,

We’re Learning,

We’re Building Better

We keep showing up, like at the Forum Ventures event, always trying to get better.
The event brought together GTM leaders, founders, and investors for a candid conversation on how AI is transforming how companies grow.

The insightful panel featured:

Their insights around speed, experimentation, and AI-powered precision struck a chord with us.
As builders, we’re being called into a new era—one where growth isn’t linear and plans aren’t fixed.

Instead, winning companies are the ones that move fast, learn fast, and stay relentlessly focused on delivering real value.
But the most powerful insight?
Even in an AI-first world, human connection is still the driver of everything that matters.

AI Is a Tool. People Are the Heart.

This hit home for us, deeply.

At TalleFlow, we use AI daily.
But our goal is not to replace people; it's to support them.

We use tech to give you back your precious time, make hard tasks simpler, and help your great work shine more – all without losing the human touch that makes your business special.

The room last night was filled with founders navigating similar paths.
Everyone was hungry to build smarter—but also deeper. More meaningfully. With intention.

And that’s why we left the event feeling recharged.

This Is Why We Show Up

We don’t go to events just to meet people.
We go because we want to grow – for us and for you.
We go to learn how to serve you better as your needs change.
We go to be part of a community that cares just as much about people as new ideas.

We know that for creatives, work is personal.
So, we promise to build tools that get this – tools made to work with you.

When you really care about the people you serve, you just build differently.

Thank You

A heartfelt thank-you to Forum Ventures for leading such an energizing and thoughtful event.
And thank you to Cooley LLP for providing the beautiful space that made the evening possible.

We’re walking away inspired—
and carrying everything we learned straight back into how we build.

We’re listening. We’re learning. We’re building better, together.

I'm using multiple apps to run my business. How is TalleFlow different?

Not at all. You can start with the tools you need today—like forms or invoices—and grow into others as your business scales.

Can I manage every client Workflow in Talleflow?

Yes. From lead capture to final payment, TalleFlow handles each step—no switching between tools required.

Is Talleflow built for teams or Solo Businesses?

Both. Whether you're a solo creative or a small agency, the features are designed to flex with your workflow.

Does Everything integrates seamlessly in one platform?

Yes. Every feature is connected—from automation to proposals to payments—so you don’t waste time on duplicate work or disconnected tools.
