Hyperbound

$1,000,000 ARR. In. One. Month. for Hyperbound 🚀 Numbers like this look clean on LinkedIn. But what you don’t see are the 2 a.m. Slack messages, or the customer calls taken from airport gates. You don’t see the team showing up on weekends without being asked, or the the moments of doubt where we wondered if we were crazy for trying to build this. And now we KNOW we're building an inevitable product that EVERY sales org will have within 5 years. Here’s what this insane tear in the last few weeks has taught me: Expansion is the ultimate product-market fit signal: When customers give you more budget without a new sales cycle, it’s proof your product is solving a real, persistent problem. Retention AND acquisition: Acquiring new logos is exciting, but expansions are where the economics shine. They’re faster, cheaper, and compound over time. We've also got some absolute MVP's to shout out along the way. We've assembled an incredible team that inspires myself and Sriharsha Guduguntla every day we come to work. Isaac Hong: Crushed quota last month. ☠️ Belal Batrawy: Brought in massive Fortune 10 whales. Jonathan Tran & Keshav Balachandar: Spent dozens of extra hours with customers each week, stepping outside their roles and taking true ownership. Luca Rondanini: Led product while I was heads-down on our next big announcement (stay tuned!). Saswat Mishra & Nitin Bhoopal: Defined what it means to ramp fast and have huge impact. Josh Norris 🐦🔥 & Mia Kosoglow: Rebuilt our marketing engine from scratch in two quarters, putting us on a whole new pipeline trajectory. Thiago Costa & Siddharth Venu: The definition of 10x engineers, with Siddharth taking on massive security/infosec responsibilities to land huge enterprises. Patrick Dajos 🐉 & Eugene Reuka: Dramatically increased their output over the last few quarters to push us all towards these goals! We couldn’t have hit this milestone without every single one of them, which is why I can’t wait to celebrate with the team in Bali in a few weeks. If this is the kind of pace you want to run at, building and selling a category defining product, moving faster than the market, and seeing your work directly drive outcomes like this: we should talk. On to the next bigger goal!

Nidhi Makwana is doing what most people don’t: putting in the reps before she even has the role! She’s breaking into tech sales and using Hyperbound to help her get there. We loved her story so much, we asked her to share it directly from our page. These are her words! 🗣️🗣️ When you’re trying to break into tech sales with no formal title or past experience, you learn to take chances. I’m naturally extroverted. I love people, learning, and making things happen through conversation. So I started cold reaching out to founders, just to connect and see where it led. That’s when I messaged a founder from a Calgary-based startup. I wasn’t selling anything. I was just curious. Instead of brushing me off, he introduced me to Hyperbound. I thought: “Okay, this looks intense but interesting… how hard can it be?” I was up and running in 5 minutes. No long onboarding. Just log in and start calling. And then… I got wrecked. 💥 “Not interested.” 💥 “We already have a solution.” 💥 Click. Final score? 22/100. It felt real. Like, actually real. The tone. The objections. The awkward pauses. For a second I questioned if I was even cut out for this. But here’s the twist: Hyperbound didn’t just tell me I failed, it told me why. And it showed me exactly how to fix it. I learned where my tone dropped. Where my structure fell apart. What I said wrong, and how to say it right. So I practiced. And then I practiced again. By Call #5, I was scoring 89/100. Not because I had a script. But because I had confidence. Hyperbound worked for me because of its: ✅ Effortless UX – I was calling in minutes ✅ Shockingly realistic bots – Uncannily human ✅ Tough love feedback – Clear, direct, necessary ✅ Repetition that doesn’t drain you – I wanted to keep going If you’re new to tech sales and need a place to practice, fail forward, and build confidence, Hyperbound is it. To the Hyperbound team: You didn’t just build a product. You built belief. Even when my first call score was 22. 😅 Thank you. Keep building. 🗣️🗣️ It's people like you that inspire us to keep pushing. Thank YOU, Nidhi!

Happy last day of the quarter 🫶 (And yes, this is real footage of someone running into our door on a scooter.)
