The Opportunity
We're building the AI layer for America's 33M SMBs. Our growth is explosive. 10x last year, 20% MoM, raised $3M seed from Pear a few months ago, 300+ businesses using us today (1000+ by year-end). We've discovered a completely overlooked path to dominate this SMB market while everyone else is fighting over enterprise deals.
Our Vision
While conventional wisdom says SMBs are challenging (low contract values, high churn), we've discovered unique growth opportunities where others weren't looking. SMBs represent half of US GDP and need AI solutions as much as enterprises do. We're making that possible.
Our early traction proves the model works - now we need the right product leader to help us scale. We started with AI receptionists and quickly expanded into something far more powerful. Our platform is the SMB Customer Revenue Engine - AI agents handling all conversations, an intelligence layer learning from every interaction, and outbound AI driving real revenue growth. Our vision is bold: to become the SMB super app—a single, intelligent platform that manages everything for SMBs, from customer acquisition to retention.
What You'll Do
You’ll be our first growth hire—a true founding team member who treats growth like product. You’ll move fast, test constantly, and figure out what breaks us out of the noise.
In Your First 90 Days, You’ll
The rest of the company—12 people across engineering and customer success—is remote. Product and growth all run through NYC.
We're located in the NYC and backed by leading investors like Pear Ventures, who were also the first checks into Doordash and Gusto.
