What you likely need

You're a proven serial founder with a public-company exit (Weave/WEAV) and a YC pedigree, now building Previ from the ground up again. Your biggest near-term leverage is converting your brand equity and network from the Weave IPO into early enterprise HR customers and a seed/Series A raise for Previ. Positioning Rally AI as the flagship product within Previ could accelerate both revenue and fundraising conversations.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

  • fundraisingLeverage your Weave IPO track record and YC alumni status to run a structured seed or Series A process for Previ — investors who backed Weave or know the YC network will move faster given your exit history.
  • positioningSharpen Rally AI's positioning as a standalone, named product within the Previ umbrella — a distinct brand with its own landing page and case studies will help HR buyers evaluate it independently of the payroll-deduction story.
  • introsTap Weave's existing SMB and mid-market customer base for warm introductions to HR decision-makers who already trust the Weave brand and your leadership.
  • hiringHire a senior GTM or Head of Sales with HR-tech experience early — Previ's 46-person team is growing fast and a dedicated revenue leader will help you scale beyond founder-led sales before Series A.
  • tacticalDeepen the relationship with Ashton Kutcher's Sound Ventures, who co-led Previ's first financing, to unlock introductions to their broader portfolio and LP network for follow-on capital.
  • introsRe-engage the YC alumni network (office hours, Bookface, batch dinners) to surface enterprise pilot customers and potential angel co-investors for Previ's next round.
  • wellbeingAs a serial founder who went from a multi-year IPO journey at Weave directly into building Previ, be intentional about setting sustainable work rhythms — the early-stage grind is different from scaling a public company.
