Growth and Commercial = outbound hunting roles, growth is more junior (someone who was an SDR at a SaaS company and moved up to 8-15 months closing experience)
Commercial - 2.5+ years coming exp, 6 fig deals, more of a strategic mindset

- EASY sell, it makes sense, pitch is easy, no one disagrees with you. If they’re not interested, it’s because they don’t believe you, or they don’t care. Most of the time they don't believe you, so we need reps who can figure out a creative way to convince them.
- Only one AE and he’s killing it
- Sales tools: salesloft, salesforce, premium LI tools, equire, zoominfo
- AE’s can have flex on WFH once ramped
- Will likely open SF office in the first half of next year, depending on how many commuters they have (currently have 3)- if they have 6 people, it will make sense to have something in the city
- 2000 travel bonus you can spend to go wherever, blueshield, medical, all the benefits, 401k, medical, dental, unlimited PTO, honor code, commuter benefits ($50 to commute- will cover parking pass monthly)
- Corporate travel is 250B industry- concur got sold to SAP for 8billion; on the consumer side, skyscanner got acquired by a chinese firm for 1.5B; priceline’s set of companies are valued at 80Billion- the industry is huge
- Management team comes with a good amt of experience- not 20yo first timers, this is devin’s 6th startup- came from origami logic, jive software (built all intl operations)- good pedigree of executive team
- Feels like we're in a down market for investments, for a series A company, they raised14M, which is unusual- investors are hunting them down to spend more!
- EASY SELL

Undulate

Belly dancers are known for their ability to skillfully undulate their stomachs.
Collecting data
Everyone is moving to the cloud - internally tech teams are trying to find different management solutions
Search and action solution basically
Research, development and discovery teams in large firms.
ex. Individual in pharma — go find out if they should partner with a new company, competitive landscape, research (google, buy 10-15 subscriptions of data sets) to do elaborate on reasons why it is the best
- Get all that data in a system (value prop - all data in 1 location) analyze that data, machine learning to annotate the data, expose out fields to help filter and track
- Can go into 1 platform with all relevant data, quick search, see all publications, etc. to learn and avoid spending too much for outsourcing massive curation firms and months of effort

esearch tools and data management is fragmented across multiple platforms, file storage systems, and individual devices. Each time users want to do research to drive innovation in their field, they are met with infrastructure challenges that make the process slow, disorganized, and disconnected. With ResoluteAI, information retrieval is seamless. Our powerful use of artificial intelligence allows users to efficiently research, uncover, integrate, and connect their most relevant data sources, at scale. Every day, new data is added to the public domain. In addition, innovators are constantly expanding on their own areas of focus and proprietary data within their in-house and personal repositories. ResoluteAI has developed a cutting-edge method for leveraging artificial intelligence that bolsters connectivity between datasets and departments, increases specificity and relevance in search, and saves our clients time and resources by helping them innovate smarter.

They have been TOTALLY bootstrapped, and its wholly owned by their leadership team!! Which is pretty badass bc they leadership team has their own dollars invested. Dont have plans to get outside funding
- Platform is fully mobile-integrated & mobile built platform - this is a HUGE differentiator.
CEO - serial Entreprenuer, sold his past company (a background check solution), and then he built this software to make it more “sticky”
- Exec team has worked together for over 15 years.
- SOC 2 Type 2 compliant (this is RARE to have), a lot of their competitors dont have this
- really high NPS Score of 77!! anything better than 70 is really really good
- Not a lot of concern for economic downturn bc they arent only an onboarding software, they are an “any”boarding solution. Ie) M&As, offboarding, onboarding, cross-boarding, to give these employees a good experience.
