Justin Strackany — Co-Founder
My name is Justin, waffles are awesome, and playtime just ended. I was a scrawny kid out of "watch country" when I started in software over 20 years ago. Employee #1 at a bootstrapped company. $0 to $50M. Three exits. Vista alum. VP of Sales, Chief Customer Officer, Founder. I know software. Like in my bones. Along the way I led some of the top-performing client expansion teams in the country and helped dozens of companies maximize client impact. Now I make strange & curious software. Think of me as your friendly traveling apothecary, meandering from town to town with a batch of bubbling elixirs that are mostly good for you and recommended by old-timey doctors - except it's software. In my past life, I was an entertainer - writing music, playing in local bands, even a stint on a cruise ship. I think software, in the right hands, can feel like discovering your favorite band for the first time. That's what I'm chasing. Here's what's brewing: 🎩 Fancy Robot: When's the last time you had an enjoyable google search experience? 1/3 of search requests now begin in AI, w/ 5x conversion rate.

Your CSMs are managing 200 accounts and way too overwhelmed to optimize for expansion. Meanwhile growth is stalling...and churn is not. Renubu surfaces hidden expansion signals and tells you *exactly* what to do about it, distilling the chaos into One. Thing. Next.

Just go with it). - Killer Tools (interactive games & MCP productivity suite, but only for people who are extremely good-looking), and - GTM.Consulting (my coaching practice - referrals only).
