Are you looking to equip your startup rocket ship with the tools and systems that successfully propelled dozens of B2B SaaS startups to over $50 million ARR?

❓ Do you trust the data in your core metrics such as ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, and Win Rate?

❓ How much of your day is strategic vs reactive and randomized?

❓ Do you have an A system that can support an expanding sales team and weather turnover?

❓ Do you have clarity and predictability around the key drivers of pipeline growth?

As a sales leader you want to spend your time with customers, hiring & coaching reps, influencing product and growing the company.  You can't afford the time figuring out how to build a system that provides these answers.

And why should you?   B2B SaaS sales motions are remarkably similar across industries.  So why are most Salesforce implementations so expensive and time-consuming?

😡 Bloated agencies prices that have to account for under utilized consultants and exec overhead
😡 Hourly billing model removes efficiency incentive
😡 Large delivery teams to provide necessary skills and project management

After serving hundreds of B2B SaaS startups, we've found that over 60% of customer requirements are the same.  So we built a better way to deliver. 🚀🍕🌈🍕🌻🚀  

Our Rocket SaaS system encapsulates all the strategic guidance and technical implementation into a logical, step-by-step framework that turns your GTM strategy into system reality in a fraction of the time and cost of legacy providers.

So Imagine:

🚀Knowing the current and next quarters forecast accuracy with extremely high confidence
🚀Having an early warning system for deals at risk
🚀Onboarding customers faster with higher daily usage and increasing Net Revenue Retention
🚀Receiving stellar CSAT scores and easier-to-gather testimonials

We have these solutions ready-to-go for you.  We'll tailor to your specific needs, just as you can customize your car, but we're not recreating the wheel each time.

A favorite customer quote:
“As a leading Sales Technology provider, we  already knew a lot about Salesforce and Outreach. However, Acoustic has raised our game even higher.  What sets them apart is their ability to dig deeper  to get to the core business issues.  Unlike other consultants, they go just as deep into our business as much as our technology.” Matt Millen, CEO, Regie.ai.

Had an amazing meeting with Gokhan at Expand North Star 2025!

We explored how AI and Computer Vision can revolutionize the parking experience, and the possibilities are incredible.

No more circling for parking. 
No manual monitoring. 

Just intelligent, automated systems powered by AI + Computer Vision.

It’s always inspiring to connect with people who share the same passion for solving real-world problems through technology.

If you’re interested in exploring how AI-powered Computer Vision can solve your business or city’s parking challenges, we’d love to chat.

We helped a SaaS team integrate this blueprint, enabling their AI agent to: onboard users, analyze usage, prevent churn, provide in-app support, execute tasks, and generate insights.

They didn’t add “AI features.”
They added an AI teammate.

Apple 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘆 Google $𝟭 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿... 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗶.

The company that once mocked Android is now licensing Google’s AI to power Siri’s next big upgrade.

Bloomberg reports that Apple is nearing a $1B annual deal with Google to integrate a custom Gemini AI model (with 𝟭.𝟮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀!) into Siri.

The model will run on 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲’𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 to keep user data separate from Google’s systems.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻: 

Apple, which is the world’s most valuable company, is acknowledging it fell behind in the AI race. And instead of pretending otherwise, it’s quietly doing what great companies do:

→ Partnering up.
→ Learning fast.
→ Preparing to leapfrog later.

As a tech founder building in AI, I see this as a turning point.

The companies that win will be the ones that integrate faster, not the ones that try to build everything alone.

Not because they have better data scientists.

But because they have mastered ML Ops, every model runs smoothly in production.

For the first time, everyday users are interacting with a system that can decide when to think harder, go faster, slow down, or go deeper.

As a tech founder, I believe this change is bigger than a model update.
It signals where AI is heading next:

→ Toward adaptive intelligence, tools that understand context, preference, and intent without being told.

→ Toward interfaces that feel less like software, and more like collaborators.

→ Toward personalization at a scale humans could never deliver.

Just got my hands on “𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 (𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻)” by Sam Bhagwat, Cofounder & CEO of Mastra.ai, and I must say it's a gem for anyone passionate about the future of AI.

This book is a field guide to understanding how modern AI Agents are built. 

It walks you through how they’re actually built using frameworks like MCP (Model Context Protocol), RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), graph-based workflows, and multi-agent orchestration.

You can feel the clarity of someone who’s actually building AI systems, not just talking about them.

At Techling (Private) Limited, we’re applying these same principles to help organizations design and deploy agentic AI systems.

Everyone says they’re “𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜.”
Most aren’t.
They’re wiring up someone else’s intelligence.

APIs are great for speed, but speed isn’t strategy.
If your company doesn’t own its logic, you’re renting intelligence the same way businesses rent cloud storage.

And rented intelligence has its limits you can’t negotiate your way out of.
It’s fast… until everyone else can copy it with the same call.

Building means owning: data, behaviour, outcomes, and improvement loops.
That’s where real defensibility comes from.
