GTMfund’s first incubated company launches today! https://t.co/CrA9teXFcK

Happy to announce the $3.6 million pre-seed round, led by our friends at Primary Venture Partners (@PrimaryVC).

Sales was once a profession built on personal relationships and meaningful interactions. But the internet made it easy to find prospects, and automation allowed sales teams to reach thousands at once. Contact data became a commodity, and the more we reached out, the less we connected. Buyers are now overwhelmed by generic, automated messages. Quality has plummeted, trust has eroded, and sales tactics have lost their effectiveness. The result? The “Great Ignore” – screened calls, junk folders, blocked contacts, and a general disengagement from the very people sales teams are trying to reach.

We created Operator to address this very disconnect. Unlike other tools that require users to know what to do or what to look for, Operator takes the time to understand the user of its product. The platform doesn’t just provide data, it tailors insights and recommendations that are relevant to both the user and their buyer every step of the process. Operator is purpose-built to turn flat, commoditized data into dynamic, 3D insights.

I teamed up with co-founder Adam Meyer (design engineer and 0-1 builder) and co-founder Mark Kosoglow (Outreach employee #1 and former SVP of Global Sales) to create Operator alongside an insanely talented team Pleasant Middelhof, Jeremy Jonas, Carl Gunderson - the first company incubated inside GTMfund.

Request early access and see how Operator is taking the world back to 2 touches meant to attract buyers into conversations that convert, instead of 20 touches merely meant to make sure you hit your activity number:

The Operator was once the person on the other end of the line that knew exactly how to connect - now there are so many blockers that we've created the Great Ignore. @operator__ai can help you connect! Join the waitlist and share the story!
