I'm showing them how to build with AI and add 300K of revenue in 30 days.

Sharing the workbook for the next 24 hours only. 
(It's a free PDF, structured like a Harvard business case study review)

These are not original ideas. 

I did the painstaking work of interviewing thousands of founders. 

Like a detective, I was hunting for the AI tactics working today. 

These are the top 6:
 
$30M revenue at 19 years old: 
How Cal AI built a 250 influencer army that prints downloads every single day 

$50M revenue data fortress: 
How Vantaca built a dataset no competitor can touch or replicate 

600% revenue growth: 
How 1Mind cleared Fortune 500 legal when every other AI company got rejected 

$9M golf course software: 
How Club Caddy mapped every course in North America and sold to Constellation Software on $600k raised 

$15M revenue, zero dilution: 
How Flipsnack wired into enterprise IT stacks so deeply that removal would break compliance

Q: You just closed $30m, what was the valuation?
A: 

Reaction in screenshot below :)

Amanda Kahlow is already well known for founding 6sense

She just told me she has customers paying her $400k/yr for her AI Sales Bots (Mindy!)

... Just 18 months after launch.

Firms like Hubspot pay her to replace sales reps

Friends like Jacco van der Kooij cloned himself using Amanda's new tool 1mind

Really enjoyed this one. Interview coming out shortly.

Puzzle wants to kill QuickBooks using AI. 

Sasha Orloff broke a million last year, expects to scale 16x in 2026.

Co-Founder

Working on a platform that transforms how sales teams work, starting with AI-supported one-on-ones and deal management to avoid losing sight of what really matters. 

My journey in sales has been influenced partly by seeing my wife’s career evolve from rep to manager with 6-8 direct reports and having the privilege of being her sounding board on both sides. I also lean on my experience working at a FinTech firm as the first growth hire. Needing to wear many hats, I self-studied my way through Value Selling, podcasts, books, courses - you name it - and ended up finding a passion for sales that led me to closing over 7 figures worth of revenue. Partnering closely with the VP of Sales, I learned how vital a strong leader was to a rep’s success. 

I also learned about the inefficiencies that plague the corporate sales environment as we know it.

I’m going down a path to create something that makes the partnership between sales manager and rep data-driven without losing the human touch. The use of AI is critical to empowering better one-on-ones, smarter deal rooms, consistent coaching, and expanding the bandwidth of both rep & leader. 

Our “north star”? We want to create a tool so efficient that it enables a sales manager to adequately support 12 reps instead of 8, complete 5 days of work in 3, and still achieve a year-over-year growth in revenue per rep. It's a stretch goal, but one that's absolutely achievable. To make this vision a reality, we're looking for collaborators who are as passionate as we are about transforming the internal sales landscape with the use of AI. Together, we can create a platform that empowers sales leaders everywhere to achieve more with less.

Email me at edwin@repwave.ai if you’d like to get involved.

Grateful to be building with Frank, CTO/CPO (Senior Salesforce Engineer on the Einstein Team, Waterloo SE) & Waleed, COO (CPA, BMSc, HBA, Professional Scrum Master, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Deloitte Risk Advisory lead on the practice of safe & secure application of AI at a FANG).
