CEO at Hyperbound (YC S23) | Helping marketing leaders build pipeline with AI at scale

Call me Sai! I'm a YCombinator Founder and alumni (S23) who's interested in startups and the intersection of AI and sales and marketing. Currently building next-generation GTM tools at https://hyperbound.ai. 🚀 

I'm a self-learned full-stack engineer and designer with experience building software for 10+ years.

🚨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.

CEO of Saleboat | Leader in Sales, Sustainability, and SaaS | Helping sales managers manage proactively

When I was 19 years old, I went to work for my father’s real estate management company. Instead of giving me special treatment as his son, he expected more from me than his other employees. Every day, without fail, I would rise at the crack of dawn and complete heavy manual labor. In the evenings I went to school to earn my degrees – first my bachelor’s then my master’s. I repeated this routine for seven years. Though I may not have realized it at the time, this experience ingrained in me the relentless work ethic I’ve carried throughout my career.

I am now founder and CEO of multiple businesses, all of which stem from deep curiosity, creativity, and my determination to make a positive global impact.

Before I founded MPower, a renewable energy company, I found myself fascinated by the idea of reducing carbon emissions on a massive scale without the constraint of building or delivering a physical product. With hundreds of dedicated employees, I am proud to say that MPower now spans 11 offices and 30 utilities. My mission to create a greener planet has been adopted by thousands of homes and businesses across 9 states. 

MPower’s success influenced my decision to launch Overpass, a SaaS platform for remote work. By offering sustainable remote work opportunities to a global talent pool, I knew that businesses could find the same trust and confidence in their remote workforce as they have in their in-house teams.

In line with my values of creating positive, sustainable impact, I stay active in my local community and charitable organizations. I consider family a top priority and always dedicate evenings to spending time with my wife and children.

I am a strong believer in providing value over a random pitch. If you are part of my LinkedIn community, know that I am here to support your business professionally and will focus my content around advice on how to elevate company culture, founders, and their dedicated teams.
