About

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.

Experience

Breakout

Founder

Sep 2024Present · 1 yr 6 mos · San Jose, California, United States · On-site

  • Breakout is an Inbound AI SDR that turns website traffic into qualified pipeline with real-time, personalized experiences.
  • We layer first-party behavior with company context and intent to serve the right message (videos, case studies, CTAs, or a human handoff) at the right time. Breakout solves problems like <1% of inbound turning into hand-raisers, slow lead times, and wasted time on non-buyers.
  • Teams choose Breakout because it’s AI-native, requires no dev work to implement, and serves as an all-in-one platform for inbound pipeline generation.
  • We focus on marketing and demand-gen leaders at mid-market/enterprise B2B SaaS who already have inbound traffic.
  • If your site isn’t your best SDR yet, Breakout can help you change that.
