Skarbe | Sell without CRM

Skarbe is an AI-powered chat that turns your inbox and calendar into a deal-closing machine.

Oskar by @SkarbeAI hit #1 on @ProductHunt today and got featured in their Daily newsletter that goes to 1M+ subscribers.

I just did a couple of demos this morning. Different people - founders, sales reps, fund managers.

Same problem: they all struggle to follow up on business conversations in their inbox.

Someone reaches out. You reply. They reply back. Then… life happens. You forget to follow up. The conversation dies.

It’s not that you don’t care. You’re just busy. And now that lead is cold.

Oskar follows up automatically. You stay in the conversation. Your leads don’t go cold.

668 upvotes today say we’re not alone in this struggle.

Thanks to everyone who supported us.

Everyone knows you should follow up.

Almost nobody does it consistently.

Why? Too busy with everything else.

So we built Oskar - AI agent that handles follow-ups automatically.

Beating 99% of people is simple but not easy.

Two hardest things from this list:
- Follow up quickly
- Follow up multiple times

We built Oskar to automate these.

Everyone asked if we’re competing with Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive.

Wrong question.

Our biggest competitor? The spreadsheet.

39% of small businesses still run sales in Excel or email. Why?

→ Free
→ Familiar
→ Fast to set up
But here's the cost:
→ Lost deals (no follow-ups)
→ Duplicated work (no shared context)
→ Chaos when someone leaves

No pipeline. No reminders. No memory.

We didn’t build @SkarbeAI to out-feature CRMs.
We built it to feel like a spreadsheet — but actually help you close.
→ Connect email + calendar
→ Get smart next steps
→ No bloat, no pricing calls
Founders don’t need another CRM.
They need a co-pilot.

That’s what we’re building.

@TheSaaSNews Thanks for the mention! 🙌
We’re building Skarbe to help founders close deals without the CRM drag. More on #vibesales coming soon!

Skarbe raises $600K to reinvent sales for founders who hate CRMs https://t.co/IH8f1SqFZ7

[Skarbe | Sell without CRM @SkarbeAI]

Big milestone for us at Skarbe!

We’ve raised $600K to build an AI assistant that helps founders close deals without the CRM overhead.

No dashboards, no data entry, just smart follow-ups, deal tracking, and next-step suggestions straight from your inbox and calendar.

We call it #vibesales — and it’s already helping small teams move 30% faster from day one.

[Mikita Martynau @nikitokinito]

We raised $600K to help founders who hate CRMs sell without the extra work.

@SkarbeAI connects to your inbox + calendar and tells you what to do next. No pipeline updates. No setup. Just deals moving.

It’s sales, without the second job.

If you’re testing Skarbe or just curious — join our Discord.

We share beta features early, talk directly with users, and build based on real feedback.

No fluff. Just shipping with people who sell.

Founders don’t hate selling — they hate CRMs that turn it into a full-time job.

[Mikita Martynau @nikitokinito]

Had a chat with my CTO today. He’s in San Francisco right now, meeting with other builders.

He came back and said:

“I think we’re still building software the old way.”

I wanted to argue. Got defensive for a second.

But he was right.

That meme going around — showing the evolution of software from giant blocks to MVPs to AI demos — isn’t just a joke.

It’s exactly what’s happening.

The way we build has changed:
1.Waterfall: plan, build, wait.
2.Agile: ship fast, learn faster.
https://t.co/VxYWjjwmMl era: prototype instantly, test reactions, kill or shape.

Today, tech is a commodity.

Anyone can ship something decent in days.
The edge isn’t in how fast you build — it’s in how well you spot the signal.

And the hardest skill now?

-> Knowing when the product clicks — when people feel value in the first session, not after setup, not after a drip campaign.

Once you catch that moment — that pull — you cut everything else.

But here’s where most teams get stuck:
They keep chasing feedback from everyone.

Endless tweaks. Conflicting signals. Random feature debates. Lot of waste.

The only way through is to lock in your ICP.

When you know exactly who you’re building for, feedback gets sharper. Metrics become clearer.

You stop arguing over features — and start removing everything that doesn’t serve that specific user.

That’s how you move from noisy AI MVPs to something real.

And once you feel that pull — it’s a race.
Because the market is moving faster than it ever has.

You either shape it, or lose momentum before you even know you had it.

Yesterday I had my fifth (maybe sixth?) demo call of the day. My co-founder joined me for the last one.

After it ended, he called me and asked:
“Are you open for feedback?”

I said yes. He gave it to me straight:

We sometimes get emails like this one - asking whether a human was involved at all 😅

"Did you write it in Polish/English and the system translated it into Estonian? It is surprising there have been no grammatical errors in the text..."

Here’s the answer:
-> Yes, it’s me - but powered by Skarbe

Our AI sales assistant doesn’t just sound like you. It can speak like a human in the language of your customer - so natural that even native speakers can’t tell it was generated.

How it works:
Skarbe drafts email in the language of communication. My outreach was in Estonian, when lead responded - response draft was generated in Estonian. You write additional comment in English (just like I do).

Skarbe keeps the meaning, context, and tone - and adapts the message to the right language.

You stay in control: use Generate with AI to rephrase, edit or localize the draft in one click before sending.

It's not a generic translation. It’s contextual, human, based on all your context and sales-ready.

2024 is a year of vibe coding.
2025 is the year for vibe selling to become a next big thing.

The more we talk to founders and small business owners, the clearer it gets:
-> Most people doing sales today aren't professional sellers.
-> They don’t need an enterprise-grade system built for 20-person sales teams.

They need results. And tools that work for them, not the other way around.

That’s what we’re building at Skarbe

Vibe Selling is a new way to sell - where AI handles the boring stuff and you focus on real human connection.

Here’s how vibe selling works:

1. AI Automation
- Your assistant takes care of email follow-ups, deal and contact data updates and meeting prep.
- You get back 70% of your time.

2. Relationship First
- Spend less time in tools. More time with people. Be present. Be trusted.

3. Delegation by Design
- Specialized AI agents handle lead qualification, notes, proposals review - and more.

4. Authentic Interactions
- No robotic scripts. Just real conversations - powered by context-aware AI.

5. Learning on the Fly
- Your system improves with each deal. It adapts to you.

Traditional sales was:
-> 80% admin work
-> Manual follow-ups
-> Rigid scripts
-> Low context, high fatigue

Vibe selling is:
-> 80% time with prospects
-> Automated follow-ups
-> Dynamic next steps
-> Calm focus, high momentum

Vibe selling is built for the way we actually work today - messy inboxes, short attention spans, fast-moving opportunities.

It’s not only different. It’s simpler, faster, more human.

And it’s happening now.

[Skarbe | Sell without CRM @SkarbeAI]

Before: Copy-pasting notes from calls, updating deals manually, checking 4 tools before writing a follow-up.

After: One inbox. One feed. AI that listens, writes notes, drafts follow-ups, and shows you exactly what to do next.

[Skarbe | Sell without CRM @SkarbeAI]

Exactly one year ago, I quit my 9-5 to build @SkarbeAI, a tool helping founders and CEOs manage sales effortlessly, without CRMs or spreadsheets.

While people still talking about CRM automation and trying to sell more seats to sales teams, something big is happening: sales teams are getting leaner, and individual productivity matters more than ever.

Think about how we got here:

1. First, we managed everything in spreadsheets.
2. Then came cloud CRMs, promising to organize our chaos.
Now?

3. We're stepping into the era of personal sales engines.

Those aren't fancy ai-native CRMs.

They're intelligent companions that work alongside you.

Even as ai advances, B2B buyers still want human connection. They want to talk to someone who gets their challenges, not a chatbot or 'sales agent'.

This is crucial for small businesses, who drive 80% of economic growth.

They don't need more customizable databases - they need tools that seamlessly bring together their customer conversations, whether they happen on zoom, emails, linkedin or in their notes.

The future of sales isn't about replacing humans. It is about boosting our ability to connect, understand and solve real problems faster with less resources.

Imagine a CRM that saves you time, cuts down errors, and runs automatically in the background.

That’s what we’re building at Skarbe. While it is not a CRM, it is much easier and built specifically for small businesses.

[Skarbe | Sell without CRM @SkarbeAI]

We’ve tested over 5 popular CRMs, and here’s what the data shows.

The problem with most CRMs:

On average, they require about 2 hours of daily maintenance and come with high costs.

Spreadsheets:

They lead to roughly a 15–20% error rate in data entry and are too manual.

[Skarbe | Sell without CRM @SkarbeAI]

Skarbe refreshes automatically when new events happen - like new emails, ensuring information is always current without you lifting a finger.

100% of pilot users started seeing benefits immediately, with zero training needed.
