Fireflies.ai's path to $1B valuation: How being "too early" to AI paid off
Most AI companies launched after ChatGPT went viral in 2022. Fireflies.ai started in 2016 - years before the AI revolution began.
This week, Co-founder and CEO Krish Ramineni shares how he built a unicorn AI company with 80% organic growth.
Krish and Alex discuss:
- How being "too early" to AI became their biggest competitive advantage.
- Why they chose a PLG motion when sales-led was still the norm.
- Building AI products before LLMs existed and the products they can return to now the technology has caught up.
- Scaling to unicorn status with 80% organic growth and creating viral loops.
- The future beyond note-taking: AI teammates that attend meetings for you.
- How Krish manages his time while working seven days a week.
- Advice for founders navigating the AI bubble.
