Last year, before we had any funding (beyond me sinking my entire life savings into the company), when I had no network, and we didn’t even have a working product, I went to TechCrunch Disrupt to meet investors through their networking app and with the dream of raising a pre-seed for Artisan. Safe to say I didn’t secure funding at that time… A lot has changed since then and this year, we’ll be a primary sponsor of the event 🤠 It’s crazy to think that since then we’ve done Y Combinator, built the most comprehensive outbound product on the market, grown our team to 16 people, scaled towards $1M ARR (growing close to 70% MoM), and raised over $8M for amazing investors. Our sponsorship of Disrupt is definitely a full circle moment for me - feeling very grateful for how life has progressed. Anyway, come and see us if you’ll be there! We’ll be in the spot that Google had last year in the second floor entrance hall, next to Mercury. We have a huge product launch that we’ll be announcing at Disrupt, so stay tuned for that 🦄 If you won’t be there, hire our AI BDR Ava anyway 😉 https://lnkd.in/egydpQPd
Great product you are building - so much potential. Had a chance to demo it yesterday and am excited to share feedback. This is going to be a game-changer for sales
Love the journey and congrats on the progress made! Really looking forward to testing the product with our company.
Very excited for the new product launch! Eyes peeled!
