ForgeGUI, a game dev AI tool, went from 31K to over 800K users in four months on 50,000+ paid creator clips, per BloxClips. I run YouTube pilots with a few hand-picked creators. For a free signup, volume looks like the better bet. For a $200 product, I'd still pick for fit.
@emkara Emir, I'd like to talk about the BDR and AE roles. At Global Resources I sold $30K+ consulting deals face to face with owners of $500K to $30M companies, and I closed a lot of them. I'm looking for a remote sales role, based in Orlando. Open to 15 minutes this week?
Cuttable raised a $20M Series A this month for ads built from shoots brands already have, not generated AI video. Its founder calls it "absolutely anti-AI slop." I built an e-commerce brand past $1M in sales and I'm open to startup growth or partnerships roles, remote or Orlando.
@abearsomewhere Congrats on the Series D. I built an e-commerce company to over $1M in sales, and at Global Resources I sold $30K+ consulting deals face to face with business owners. Looking for a remote sales or account management role, based in Orlando. Open to 15 minutes this week?
Different came out of stealth yesterday with a $48M seed led by General Catalyst. Its AI runs B2B demand gen across email, ads, and landing pages, and the marketer sets the strategy. When I sold consulting to business owners, my edge was knowing their numbers before I walked in.
Day 1 of 30. Goal: a founding GTM or Head of Growth seat at a startup by the end of November.
Today at 9 AM ET, @boardyai set me up with Jay Webb, founder of The GOATS of Growth, a Boston GTM recruiting firm. LFG!

Ben Cera says Polsia went from $10M to $20M run rate in 6 weeks, with AI doing much of the work. I think lean startups will save their first hires for people who talk to customers and partners. At my agency, AI does research and first drafts. I talk to brands and creators.
@carsondimond Love that you only recruit for DTC. I founded a $1M+ e-commerce brand and now run a creator partnerships agency (102 YouTube creators). Kissimmee FL, open to remote, targeting $100k+. If you have partnerships or growth searches, I'd love to be on your list.
AliExpress announced today that creators in the US, UK, Germany, and Brazil will be able to tag its products in YouTube videos, Shorts, and livestreams for commission. DTC founders, if a creator can tag a similar AliExpress product, what keeps yours in the video?
A new GreenPulse Talent benchmark prices AI and tech YouTube integrations off the median views of a channel's last six long-form videos: about $100 CPM under 30K, about $55 above. When I pitch a creator to a brand, I lead with fit and recent views. Subscriber counts can lag.
@shiv_kampani@autumn_ai_inc Founding Growth at Autumn sounds right up my alley. I ran a crowdfunding campaign end to end that raised $66,156 from 1,081 backers, and founded a $1M+ e-commerce brand I sold at 100+ conventions. Open to relocating to SF. My DMs are open if you want to chat.
@arlanr 100k users in 4 weeks is wild. folk feels like a creator-driven product. I built a $1M+ e-commerce brand and now match brands with YouTube creators for sponsorships. Would love to help grow folk. DMing you
@quota_crusherz I'm not a cybersecurity seller, but I'm looking for a startup AE or SDR seat with real base, remote US. Worked with 50+ small businesses as a consultant with a high close rate and founded a $1M+ e-com business. Kissimmee FL, $100K+. Happy to send my resume.
eMarketer forecasts US brands will spend $14.15B in 2027 boosting creator posts on social, as much as creators earn from sponsored content. Before a brand boosts a creator's video, I'd put the creator's discount code in it. Code sales show which videos deserve more ad spend.
@luke_clancy1 Interested. I built my e-commerce brand to $1M+ in sales on Shopify, ran 3 crowdfunding launches end to end ($113K+ raised: creators, paid ads, campaign pages, fulfillment), and now run a YouTube creator sponsorship agency. Is remote US open for this one?
ThoughtLeaders' October scan puts Kalshi at 2,957 sponsored YouTube videos, third overall. A year ago: 174. Prediction markets jumped into the top sponsor tier. When a category heats up that fast, I still match on fit first.
