VC Dayna Grayson tees up a talk on TAM at TechCrunch Early Stage • TechCrunch

Do you dream of becoming a dominant player and capturing your total addressable market (TAM)? Who can blame you? But one of the most common mistakes many early-stage startup founders make is calculating a TAM that’s not necessarily accurate or obtainable.

Understanding TAM is essential for startup success — especially in a down market when VC dollars are harder to come by. That’s why we’re thrilled that Dayna Grayson, the co-founder and general partner at Construct Capital, will join us onstage at TechCrunch Early Stage on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts.

In a session called “How to Tell Your TAM,” Grayson will help you understand what TAM is, what it’s not, and how founders should discuss this vital metric with investors.

If you don’t know your TAM from your SAM (serviceable addressable market) or SOM (serviceable obtainable market) — and even if you do — Grayson will shed light on what you need to know, pitfalls to avoid and how to represent an accurate picture of your TAM.

All TC Early Stage sessions leave plenty of time for Q&A, so take advantage of Grayson’s expertise and bring your questions.
