Episode notes

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.
