Last night we invited San Francisco's sales leaders to YC to hear from the startups building the future of AI in sales. Akira Mamizuka (VP of Technology and Product Operations, LinkedIn) and Art Harding (GVP GTM Strategy & AI Ops, ClickUp) sat down with Hyperbound co-founder Atul Raghunathan to discuss how they're adopting AI to ramp reps faster, shorten sales cycles, and increase win rates. We also heard lightning demos from 8 YC companies at the frontier: Wolfia, Artisan, Origami, Ergo, Veles, Cedar, Caretta (YC W26), and Salesgraph. The future of sales is already here.

30 years ago, I built the greatest sales floor on Wall Street. Last week, I watched an AI employee do the work of 30 BDRs... Her name is Ava 2.0. Artisan released her today. Autonomous lead discovery, outreach, replies, meeting booking... Everything. She was so good at booking meetings we had to promote all the BDRs to AEs! Let Ava do the prospecting. Let humans close. Grunt work is dead. Manual prospecting is dead. Watch the video. Link in the comments to get access to Ava 2.0. - The Wolf 🐺

After raising $35M, we spent the past year rebuilding Ava from the ground up Today we're launching Ava 2.0. The first truly autonomous AI BDR A few things I'm especially proud of: - Fully autonomous reply handling (she qualifies, objection-handles, and books meetings) - Self-serve onboarding, live in under 10 minutes - The first AI BDR you can actually chat with - Starting at $250/month Ava 2.0 viably replaces ZoomInfo, Clay, Salesloft, Aircall, and Common Room. She has the most broad capabilities of any GTM product And she runs everything for you, autonomously. She's already sending on behalf of thousands of AEs, AMs and BDRs globally, for companies like SaaStr, CookUnity and SumUp Let Ava do the prospecting. Let humans close The Wolf of Silicon Valley, Jordan Belfort, saw it firsthand Get access to Ava 2.0 via the link in the comments Shoutout to the entire Artisan team who have been working 100 hour weeks for months to bring this product together And to Jason M. Lemkin and MyTechCEO for helping us make this launch video great!

Before Jordan officially starts next week, he wanted to meet Ava. Not a product demo. A proper lunch. Two martinis, a view, and a crash course on what makes humans great at sales. He talked about rhythm. Instinct. The art of reading a room. Ava listened. And she booked 5 meetings on her phone before the check came. He looked at her and said "only a closer could do this." She's not a closer. She's an AI BDR. But she understands the rhythm of sales. Ans she uses that rhythm to book meetings. April 8 is going to be fun 👀

We just made the most important hire in Artisan's history It all started by Googling "Who's the most iconic salesperson of all time" And now... Jordan Belfort is joining as our VP of Sales Yes, that Jordan Belfort. The Wolf of Wall Street. Actually, The Wolf of Silicon Valley. Who better than the most notorious salesman alive to sell Ava, the most capable AI BDR alive? He starts and has his first announcement on April 8th Find out why he joined at https://artisan.co/wolf
