A Product Market Fit Show | Startup Podcast for Founders

Ankit left his job as a VC to launch a Voice AI platform—back in 2018! It wasn't the voice AI of today. The first demo sounded like a robot. But still, he convinced large enterprise customers in the healthcare space to try it out. He found a highly manual, call intensive workflow in the back office and autoamted it using AI.
Years later, he's raised $102M and has dozens of large $1M+ enterprise customers using the product. He talks about how he started it, how he saw the AI opportunity so early on, and how he found a way to lock in champions that pushed his product inside large enterprises.
Why you should listen:

• Why the search for product-market fit never stops.
• How to build trust with enterprise customers.
• How to get champions to fight battles for you and win enterprise deals.
• Why even successful startups are never straight lines up and to the right.
