Zayd Syed Ali — CEO
I’m the founder of Valley, an AI-powered outbound engine that books calls for founders and sales teams. We’ve raised $3.2m from General Catalyst Fellows, Antler, Jason Calacanis, and sales leaders at Rippling, Deel, Datadog, Gympass, Front, Gympass, Incredible Health, and more. Over the past six years, I’ve co-founded and exited two appointment-setting agencies. We employed over 100 people across the world and faced every challenge possible in scaling outbound. Warm-up, deliverability, low acceptance rates, bad account lists, low response rates — you name it, we saw it. So, we built Valley 🏔️ with the mission of helping founders dominate with a new outbound playbook that uses AI so advanced, prospects think it’s human. This playbook is based on scaling personalized, timely, and relevant messages. Our goal is to help companies supercharge their outbound without adding headcount while saving time and generating a higher-quality pipeline — all with minimal human involvement. Our results so far: → $128 million in pipeline generated → Trusted by customers like Front, Cardlytics, and 70+ early-stage startups backed by Sequoia, A16Z, Founders Fund, and more → Backed by great investors like Antler, General Catalyst Fellows, Jason Calacanis, Transform VC, and more Check out our website: www.joinvalley.co If you want to learn more about the tactics and playbooks I use actually to close deals and build scalable sales systems: → GO HERE: https://enabled.beehiiv.com/subscribe 📧
