[Ashley🚀 @ashhtroworld]

one of the most hard working founders building a once in a lifetime product

[Coffee with One 🇺🇸 @coffeewithone]

Octolane started by watching my mom.

Single mom. Four sons. Seven days a week. No CRM. But she remembered every customer and every promise.

I was Mintlify's first intern working in SF. One day I looked at the Salesforce tower and thought: my mom didn't need a CRM. What if no one did?

Dropped out of Duke. Started Octolane with my best friend @halim__rafi and a team of 5, engineers twice our age who left real jobs to bet on us. Working from coffee shop to coffee shop, 7 days a week, spending as little as possible.

Today, after onboarding 1,000+ companies manually, @octolane - The Self-driving AI CRM is generally available.

You talk to Octolane like a co-founder. It figures things out and does the work end to end. Because the best CRM is no CRM.

→ 10,000+ action types - the largest action library in any CRM
→ 200+ integrations + MCP server (works inside Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT)
→ Multi-agent system: agents talk to each other to run your pipeline
→ Self-improving sales playbook that compounds with every deal

Give it a shot today. Break the product. Let us know.

My number: 628-285-1600. Text me for a launch-day coupon. First 20 calls, I'll onboard you myself.

@Chandrika633 love this!! customer retention is as big of a bottleneck as customer acquisition. the CAC goes down the drain if you're not able to retain them

[Chandrika Maheshwari @Chandrika633]

Customer Success as a function won't survive AI in its current shape.

Most teams are still optimizing a job that's about to stop existing. Hiring more CSMs. Building more dashboards. Running more QBRs.

The work that adds value to customers isn't the work they're staffing for.

That's the shift we built @quivlyai for.

The AI workforce for post-sales.

YESSSSS

[Nikhil Gupta @nikhilro_]

Today, @vapi_ai is announcing a $50M Series B, led by @peakxvpartners. $72M total raised.

This funding round is a reality because of the engineering behind it: predictable latency, hard guardrails, observability at the call level, and clean escalation to humans.
