Tech Ascent - Episode 72

In this episode of Tech Ascent, host Oliver Clingain sits down with Sriharsha "Sai" Guduguntla, co-founder and CEO of Hyperbound—a conversational AI platform built to coach sales teams at scale. Sai shares how he and his co-founder went from cold messaging 25,000 people and manually writing every line… to becoming the first case study for their own AI product.

Learn how they pivoted from email automation to sales enablement, scaled from 0 to 250K ARR in months, and are now closing major enterprise logos with an AI coach that trains reps better—and faster—than most human managers.
