Your product can finally sell itself. Building the Conversational Agent that lets prospects demo your product before they talk to you. about my journey: I started at McKinsey as a consultant and led strategy and ops for 2x hyperscale startups. Left the corporate world to build my own startup and kept seeing the same problem everywhere I looked. Founders who could close deals in one-on-one conversations couldn't figure out how to scale that magic across everyone who’s interested. So companies default to one of two broken approaches: 1. either spam people with AI SDRs that nobody wants to hear from 2. or hide behind "book a demo" forms that nobody actually fills out. I knew there had to be a better way. Here's what most people get wrong about AI in sales: they optimize for one side of the equation. Tools get built to help sellers send more emails, book more meetings, automate more outreach. But nobody's thinking about the buyer's experience. Sales tools should work for both parties, not just the company trying to close deals. We raised from Afore, Predictive, and Emergence Capital to build exactly that. Hobbes is a conversational demo agent that lives on your website and lets visitors explore your product through natural conversation. Prospects get their questions answered in real-time and see exactly what matters to them—no calendar links, no friction, no waiting three days for a discovery call. I don't believe in pushy sales tactics. If your product is genuinely right for someone, the best thing you can do is let them experience it for themselves. Speed to lead matters, but authentic conversation matters more. Now we're building from San Francisco with a mission to change how software gets sold. If you're rethinking your GTM motion, trying to fix demo conversion rates, or just want to talk shop about AI and sales - let’s connect.
