Key GTM insight

Figure is running a capital-led GTM: valuation, investors and demos generate inbound so the company never needs a channel. That works until the first fleet contract has to be priced.

What competitors should learn

Anchor customer first. One named plant is worth more than fifty logos when the buyer is a plant manager who needs a reference.
