🚨 SOFT LAUNCH: I'm building a tiny social listening tool to help find your first users for your project.
I found my first few users for @cmdk_email by looking up tweets complaining about the price of Superhuman. I run this exercise even now and it is stupidly effective.
Thought I should make it easy for myself, and built an AI powered tool which runs semantic search instead of keyword search.

We raised $9M.
How we'll hit $5M ARR in 260 days:
Last month we booked 620 demos.
Here's the plan from here:
1. 1,000 demos/month by March
We're on track to hit demos, but we’re hiring AEs right now to close the volume. @__rahulchauhan and @swapnilsinha07 are doing an incredible job leading the charge with their teams.
2. Double the customer base every month
300+ customers today. 800+ on the waitlist. Our constraint right now is how fast we can onboard.
Tushar, Snehith & their teams working round the clock to make it happen.
3. Ship product faster
Large portion of $9M goes straight into engineering and model improvement.
Our product already gets the average client 10 leads/mo by month 4. We want this to be higher and faster. @_Adithya_V , Snehith, @awwdarsh, Amey and team doing an incredible job here.
4. $1M new ARR added per month by March
We hit $1M ARR in 90 days from launch. The math from here: rapid GTM experiments (want to hit 30 experiments/month by April), engineering inbound lead flow, better messaging, more AEs, faster onboarding, expansion of successful accounts, tight control on churn - disciplined cash management being led by @AkashShaw29 and team.
There's also so many other things to build & sell:
- AI paid marketing agents
- AI voice agent to prevent lead drop-off & qualify them
- Capturing anonymous visitors & partial form fills
- Supporting different types of call-to-actions on our pages
But that's for next month!

A massive shift is happening and most people are sleeping on it.
Buyers are ditching Google. They're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude for recommendations. Every single day. 2.5 billion prompts a day on ChatGPT alone.
And 90% of businesses? Completely invisible.
We just raised $9M to become the company that fixes this. Backed by Susquehanna, Lightspeed, B Capital, and more.
300+ businesses are already on the platform. This is a category being created in real time.
If you're not thinking about AI search visibility for your business, you're already behind.
Today, I'm excited to announce we raised a $9M seed round to help businesses get leads from AI Search Engines!
AI is changing B2B buyer behavior rapidly.
Now prospects are researching vendors on AI Search Engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
They're asking millions of questions that the internet has never seen before. All before they ever get on a sales call.
This is a huge reset moment.
And yet 90% of businesses are completely invisible there.
We built @gushwork to solve exactly this problem. An end-to-end solution for businesses to dominate and get leads from AI search
For us, it does not end at AI visibility, impressions, or even traffic.
It’s all about the outcome - getting real, qualified leads from AI search. Period.
And @LightspeedIndia, @SusquehannaVC, @BCapitalGroup, Seaborne Capital, @beenextVC, @sparrowcapvc and @2point2club just bet $9M on us to solve this problem!
After months of research & experiments, today, we are releasing our AI Search product for general availability - launched in beta about 90 days back and is growing like crazy already:
- Hit $1.5M ARR in 90 days
- Growing 80% month-on-month
- Driving 1000+ leads/month across customers
Welcome to new investors who joined us for the seed- → @SaiAraveti, @KanishkM96 & Bhavani at Susquehanna who’s leading the round

Man! we are so screwed.
We received over a 100 assignments for the role of Founder's Office - Growth.
Each assignment submission is wrapper on the GPT's answers - even the folks who have really solid backgrounds on paper.
This is just friggin' alarming!
We are a fast-growing AI startup and I am all for taking help from ChatGPT - but forming your own original opinion and building & challenging GPT's thought process is also super critical.
This is a highly entrepreneurial and data-driven role and the person is expected to own up a specific growth channel, run several 0 to 1 experiments in that channel in close proximity with the founders and once we see channel-market fit, we scale up the channel by hiring specialists to make yourself redundant.
I'm posting the assignment link here - open invitation,
DM me a submission of the assignment with minimum help from GPT or Claude - primary research is more valuable than ever before.
I promise to read every single one of the assignments.
Share your LinkedIn profile/portfolio/resume along with your submission - we are agnostic of experience or pedigree, just want to know your own individual journey.
PS: Ideal folks for this role are usually strong left-brained people with a desire to strengthen their right-brain as well.

Admit it, marketers...
You’re *beary* scared every time you run a new influencer campaign
(And with good reason)
Success in marketing is fuelled by TRUST
Trust can’t be hacked (much to your CEO’s chagrin)
But it can be *borrowed*
Partnering with creators who have spent years building trust with their audience is a no-brainer
But choosing *WHO* to work with often feels like a crapshoot
There are plenty of tools to help you find and connect with potential creators...
But after scrolling through hundreds of profiles, you’re left with more questions than answers:
• Who’s audience and engagement is real? (and not paid for)
• Who has followers that match your target buyer?
• Who’s followers actually trust them?
And, most importantly, who will deliver ROI on your spend?
You’re scared before you launch each influencer campaign because you know you can’t really answer these questions
Influencer marketing isn’t like running ads
It’s unpredictable and tricky to optimize
You can’t be hyper-targeted and easily track the performance of each creator campaign, right?
Wrong
insightIQ has changed the game
They have a database of 250M creators across every social channel
Just tell them what audience you want to reach and insightIQ uses AI to analyze each creator’s audience AND the comments on their posts
This is how they discover creators with high-intent followers (AKA people who might actually buy)
The best part?
You can track the performance of your influencer campaigns across any content format, even Instagram Stories and Reels, in real-time
It will feel like magic... but it’s not
insightIQ is just smarter than other IM platforms
And smart marketers use smart tools
Wanna give it a try?
insightIQ is offering a 30-day free trial to my X followers
(They know my audience is legit because they used their own tool to find me)
Sign-up for a demo and mention Why We Buy to get insightIQ free for a month
There's a link to sign-up in the link in my profile @KateBour
Let me know if you wanna try it
P.S. This could be exactly what you need to hit you
