We just raised $9M.
I joined @gushwork as the first GTM hire, straight out of college. @NayrhitB and I took an early bet on each other. That bet keeps getting more interesting.
In just the last 7 hours since announcement -
→ Coverage from TechCrunch, ET, Inc42, and several other outlets
→ Millions of organic impressions
→ Hundreds of demo calls booked
→ $1.5M in revenue in the last 90 days from our new product
But the goalpost is much, much further.
We want to create moments like this every week. Not by luck. By design.
Gushwork helps businesses get leads from AI search engines. Our product does the heavy lifting automatically. Helping millions of non-tech-savvy B2B businesses get discovered by their buyers.
But building distribution for it? That's a different game entirely.
My goal is to build an AI-native GTM org for the AI-first world -
→ High impact per person, not per headcount
→ Unlimited tokens to test, break, and iterate
→ 100s of experiments a month, kill fast, scale faster
→ Data-driven, creative, analytical
And we're always on the lookout for people who think this way.
Whether you're fresh out of college, running an agency, or building something of your own, reach out if this excites you. We look for high-agency people who lose sleep over a missing full stop in their copy.
In a world where spamming is easy, we look for taste.
Today, I'm excited to announce we raised a $9M seed round to help businesses get leads from AI Search Engines!
AI is changing B2B buyer behavior rapidly.
Now prospects are researching vendors on AI Search Engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
They're asking millions of questions that the internet has never seen before. All before they ever get on a sales call.
This is a huge reset moment.
And yet 90% of businesses are completely invisible there.
We built @gushwork to solve exactly this problem. An end-to-end solution for businesses to dominate and get leads from AI search
For us, it does not end at AI visibility, impressions, or even traffic.
It’s all about the outcome - getting real, qualified leads from AI search. Period.
And @LightspeedIndia, @SusquehannaVC, @BCapitalGroup, Seaborne Capital, @beenextVC, @sparrowcapvc and @2point2club just bet $9M on us to solve this problem!
After months of research & experiments, today, we are releasing our AI Search product for general availability - launched in beta about 90 days back and is growing like crazy already:
- Hit $1.5M ARR in 90 days
- Growing 80% month-on-month
- Driving 1000+ leads/month across customers
