Pivoting

Long story short I’m ready to move out of my sales role in the next couple months.

I’ve been blessed to be the first commercial hire for a top cyber company in my country. The pay is pretty decent and the product is good. My team is solid and full of top performing industry vets.

While I don’t dislike my job or company it’s not what I want long term and I’m looking for a pivot.

I have a big network in the start up world, including folks who are founders and angel investors.

Ideally I want to move into a non-sales role at a startup in the next 6 months but it seems like it’s really hard to make those kinds of moves. I have prior startup experience and was picked to be in a prestigious tech fellowship a few years back. Has anyone successfully made the move to PM, GTM strategy, growth, etc at a startup.?
