🚨URGENT: We're hiring 2 Strategic Mid-Market Account Executives in San Francisco --> $240K OTE + quarterly accelerators + growth opportunities at Hyperbound (NOT remote). 

Both our current AEs, ☠️ Belal Batrawy and Isaac Hong have SURPASSED quota with a quarter still left in the fiscal year. They've both had $1M months and they're closing the biggest logos of their careers, hitting accelerators and making tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses. 

In the last 20 months since we launched Hyperbound, we've
- Been entirely inbound with word of mouth being our strongest growth channel
- Raised a $15M Series A
- Hit 2 back-to-back $1M months last quarter
- Closed Fortune 10 and Fortune 100 enterprises on massive thousand seat rollouts
- Grown from $0 → 7 figure ARR in 2024 in just 11 months, founder-led sales with a team of 4
- Have a 90%+ win rate in competitive head-to-head deals
- Invented a new category of sales tech that wasn't even possible before January 2024
- Scaled from 9 people at the start of this year to 20+ and on pace for 30 by EOY

Who we're looking for:
- Someone with 3-5 years of closing experience with a consistent track-record closing mid-market deals
- Hungry to make the jump to enterprise and just waiting for an opportunity
- Thinks outside the box and helps design sales strategy in the office, alongside the founders, Atul and I
- Wants to be part of the next category-defining moment in sales tech
- Relocate to SF (if not in the bay area)

**This is not a remote role! 5x/week at our SF office. 

We will have both roles filled before the end of the calendar year. DM me and apply here: https://lnkd.in/gzXyJ6rx

CEO at Hyperbound (YC S23) | Building AI Sales Roleplay Simulations to upskill GTM teams

The system of record is dead. 

The system of action is taking its place.

Data isn't your competitive advantage anymore. How fast you act is.

"I don't need another dashboard. I need direction."

That's what a senior sales leader told me this morning, and it hasn't left my head since.

"I can tell you our conversion rates, our sales cycles, who's performing well, who's not. What I can't tell you — is why."

They have more dashboards than they can count. More trackers, reports, and metrics than they'll ever need in Gong and their CRM. 

But when they go looking for why performance changed, it turns into a scavenger hunt. 

We have a saying at Hyperbound: "Insights die in dashboards."

That's exactly what they were suffering from. 

On top of that, their team just launched a new, more complex product, but leadership still expects the same short sales cycle.

"Do we shove everything into one demo? Or slow down and risk losing velocity?"

It's not just a tactical question. It's about how fast a company can learn and adapt.

"We can see deal velocity shift. But we never know why until weeks later."

These so-called insights sit buried under layers of charts and filters, inaccessible in the exact moment someone needs them.

Here's the reality: 

Data is a commodity now. Every company has it.

The advantage isn't knowing. It's acting fast and at the right time. 

The leaders who win next year won't be the ones staring at dashboards.

They'll be the ones who are using AI systems that filter through the noise to suggest action. 

At Hyperbound, that's what we're building, tools that help sales leaders stop reacting to data and start compounding on insight.

Founder and CRO at Hyperbound (YC S23) | AI Sales Roleplay

CTO and CRO here @ Hyperbound. We're a YCombinator startup building the next generation of AI GTM.

Atul Raghunathan

I’ve been quiet for a reason.

The last few months at Hyperbound have been about building foundations that will keep us years ahead of the pack. New structures, new processes, new hires.

We started this year with 9 people.
We’re ending it with 30.

And one of the two most important hires in that growth is our new Chief of Staff, Mason Smith.

We’ve worked with Mason since the start of this year. He’s the one who quietly pulled a massive workload behind the scenes to get us ready for our fundraise while he was still at Parallel.

Mason’s work ethic and attitude are the perfect example of what we look for in Hyperbound’s culture: Hard working, confident, low ego, obsessed with outcomes, and unshakably reliable.

The kind of person you want in the trenches with you when the stakes are high.

Welcome officially, Mason. Excited for what’s next.

Hyperbound just dropped one of our coolest features of the year… again.

The Hyperbound Chrome Extension is live!

It lets you build an AI roleplay bot directly from a LinkedIn profile - turning public prospect data into a realistic, one-click roleplay scenarios.

This matters because it bridges a gap most teams don’t realize they have:

Reps spend hours researching prospects, but that context rarely makes it into their training.

They learn one way, sell another and the two never meet.

Now, they can take the exact context they sell in every day and use it to practice the conversation before it happens.

No setup. No templates.

Just open a LinkedIn profile, click the Hyperbound icon, and build a practice scenario grounded in real buyer context.

It’s a major differentiator because it makes training continuous.

Reps don’t have to leave their workflow to learn.

They can practice, improve, and personalize in the same place they're already prospecting.

The Chrome Extension takes that one step further - bringing true buyer context into every rep’s daily routine.

Hyperbound Chrome Extension.
