Episode 17: Kunal Mehta, CEO, TPG Technologies

Rethinking Your Revenue Pipeline

about the episode

Most companies run two separate games: a hyper-instrumented acquisition pipeline and a chaotic, half-visible expansion pipeline. Kunal brings the PE/operator view on how to scientifically prioritize and track acquisition, while Dave brings the Go to Customer lens on pre-intent signals and expansion. The episode maps where both sides are failing – bad data, blind spots, and misaligned views of the buyer – and sets up the next episode: designing a unified pipeline dashboard for 2026.

Guest: Kunal Mehta, CEO, TPG Technologies

Key takeaways:

  • Account prioritization is science, not gut feel.
  • Your CRM is lying to you if it only has 16% of the story.
  • If you’re not on the “day-one list,” you’re already losing.
  • Pre-intent is where the hidden pipeline lives.
  • Expansion deserves the same rigor as acquisition.
  • Most pipelines need a ruthless clean-up.
  • The future: one unified revenue dashboard.
