Sachin Gupta — Co-Founder
I’m an engineer turned 2x founder who’s spent over a decade building B2B products. Today, I’m the Founder at Breakout, the Inbound AI SDR converting website visitors into hand-raisers. But how I got here is an interesting story… After interning at Microsoft during university, I took a job at Google. 4 months later, I quit. Crazy decision? Kind of. But also the best one of my life…because I quit to start HackerEarth, which we scaled from $0 → $10M+ ARR before exiting in 2024. During my time building HackerEarth, I realized the same 3 problems were crippling all B2B GTM teams: 1) Outbound was becoming less and less effective. 2) SDRs were wasting time on discovery calls w/ people who would never buy. 3) Websites were acting as static brochures instead of personalized buying experiences. Breakout is the solution to all those problems: a plug-and-play AI engine that sits on top of your website and turns inbound traffic into qualified pipeline with real-time, personalized experiences, which we call “nudges.” Imagine if your best SDR knew everything necessary about every single website visitor and could live chat with them, nudge relevant content to them, and ask qualifying questions in real-time. That’s Breakout. Breakout reads a visitor’s onsite behavior, understands why they might be interested, and nudges them with personalized messaging and content to qualify them and move them forward in your pipeline. Early customers (Barti, HackerEarth) have seen a 40% increase in their inbound pipeline from website visitors. To help us bring more inbound pipeline to B2B organizations, we’ve raised $3.2M from Village Global, Recall Capital & Z21 Ventures, and have 20+ CMOs on our cap table. If you’re trying to turn curiosity into pipeline, and you want your website to become your best SDR, let’s talk.
