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.

Sales lead @emacademy

The skills that make a successful salesperson are exactly what we need in our dynamic world; the ability to listen to understand, to show empathy, to create and implement solutions to effect change in our world. I put a premium on all three,
not just in a professional context, but as mental structures in my relationships and day to day interactions

Mitchell Chukwu

When what we pray for takes longer than we expect, our minds often jump to the worst conclusions:

1. “Maybe God has forgotten me.”
2. “Everyone else is moving ahead except me.”

But what we don’t see is often more important than what we feel.

Here’s what God may actually be doing behind the scenes:

1. Preparing us for the next level: blessings sometimes require a version of us we haven’t grown into yet.

2. Building strength in us : so we can carry the responsibilities and challenges that come with the blessing and not run away at the first sight of schedule.

3. Growing our faith: because trust is formed in waiting, not in comfort.

Remember:
God took the Israelites 40 years on a journey that should’ve taken 11 days (Deuteronomy 1:2) — not because He was late, but because they weren’t ready.

Your delay is not denial.
Your waiting is not wasted.
Something is being built in you

5 Teachings from Jesus That Changed My Attitude at Work


1. “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”

Matthew 20:26
 Life Lesson: Greatness is a function of service. If you want to be great, then you must serve with your heart 

2. “If you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?”

Luke 16:12
Life Lesson: Treat the company, the clients, and the responsibilities you handle as if they were your own. Stewardship unlocks promotion.

3. “Whoever is faithful in little is faithful also in much.”

Luke 16:10
Life Lesson: Excellence in small tasks creates the capacity for bigger opportunities. Consistency compounds.

4. “First remove the log from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s.”

Matthew 7:5
Life Lesson: Before correcting others, work on yourself. Accountability makes you a better teammate and a better leader.

5. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

 Matthew 6:21
 Life Lesson: Your priorities reveal your direction. Align your work with what truly matters to you.


Which quote resonated the most with you.

Someone’s win isn’t your loss; but comparison will make you feel that way.


“For we dare not number ourselves, or compare ourselves, with some who commend themselves. For in measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, they are not wise.”
 2 Corinthians 10:12

It’s way too easy to fall into the comparison trap on LinkedIn.

Someone has a better job title.
Someone is building a bigger business.
Someone closed a bigger client.
Someone posted a “win” you feel you should’ve had.

But comparison is the path of fools.

Because when you compare yourself to others:

You shrink the value of YOUR progress

You ignore the battles you’ve already won

You abandon what makes you unique

You start running their race instead of your own


Here’s the truth:

You can be inspired by others.
You can celebrate their success.
You can learn from their journey.

But the moment you measure your worth by someone else’s highlight reel, you lose sight of the assignment God gave you.

Stay focused.
Stay faithful.
Stay committed to your lane.

Your story, your pace, and your purpose are more than enough.

Keep building.
