We raised $22.5M and assembled a team of ~25 people who believe the CRM category is overdue for a complete rethink: less manual data entry, smarter automation, and AI that actually understands your pipeline. We're early and moving fast. The foundational decisions you make here will shape how the product scales.

YOUR BACKGROUND - 10+ years building distributed systems and platform infrastructure. - Deep expertise with Postgres at scale
