Coding is a huge use case for inference. Pretty obvious. But we keep debating internally how to best serve coding workflows. Especially pricing. You all are used to subscriptions, heavily subsidized by Anthropic/OpenAI. How do we best price @sferenceai without bleeding cash?

Replying to @crane_vc
@crane_vc is back to school and we're celebrating in style in Paris this year! After taking our AI GTM event to a few European cities including Paris and Berlin, founders have asked for more... We're back in Paris with new content on the 11th September ⬇️

You can expect to finally find answers to your questions: As an AI founder, how do you find your wedge into the market? How do you navigate an enterprise account and close a deal (scary...)? As a buyer, how do you cut the noise? What's needed to move from POC to signed contract?

One of the questions I always get from founders at some point in their journey is: How do I transition away from founder-led sales? When do you know it's the right time and where should I even start? What profile should my first salespeople have?

@ayala_ples and I sat down with Dave, CEO of @SenseonTech, for this new #founderGTMstory. He’s (in my humble opinion) the best one to learn from on this topic. He’s been very open with us, sharing their success in the transition... but also their mistakes.

If you’re (1) a founder in enterprise B2B SaaS; (2) the one leading the charge in sales and (3) starting to feel like you’re the bottleneck in the sales process, this is an absolute must read. Enjoy! crane.vc/senseons-journey-fr…

Yesterday, @nuclia_ announced their $5.4M Seed round. Almost a year ago, our friends at @Elaia_Partners introduced Eudald and Ramon. We knew they had something, but that something was so much more than I could’ve imagined… 0/n 🧵👇🏽

Today, it’s @jorgesancha’s turn to share his #founderGTMstory with us. Jorge is the co-founder and CEO of @tinybird. What a ride it’s been for him! Read here: crane.vc/qa-on-tinybirds-ini…

Don’t want to spoil anyone, but for almost 2 years, Jorge has been a one-man band in Sales and Marketing. He kept iterating on messaging and sales strategies, which led him to close the first million in ARR… by himself!

I think it’s so important to celebrate those wins. I also find it very refreshing that he went more on the personal side and shared some of his challenges, simply as a human being... who’s also a founder.

I’ve received so many personal requests and comments on the #founderGTMstory that I’ve accelerated the release of the first one! A very special one to me - I’ve travelled back in time with @thalmr, co-founder and CEO of @Tessian. 👉 crane.vc/qa-on-tessians-init… 🧵

I just hope this gives confidence to all technical founders out there who believe that taking a product to market is scary and almost impossible. Don’t get me wrong, it IS scary to get out there, but I hope you’ll find great snippets to help you go through the ups and downs.

I was by his side for most of the 0 to 1 ride. And I realise how hard it is to translate emotions and capture challenges with words. So please, share any feedback with me. I want to make sure these short interviews are inspiring and actionable!
