What you likely need
You're a second-time YC founder now building Sela in voice AI — a hot category with intense competition from well-funded peers. Your priority is converting early traction into a credible Series A narrative while staying lean given Sela's small team. Lean into your VoiceOps + LinkedIn data-science background as differentiation in a crowded voice-agent landscape.
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.
- positioningSharpen Sela's positioning against the dozen+ AI voice agent startups by anchoring on your specific wedge (inbound + warm outbound at 20% cost) with hard ROI case studies.
- introsTap your W17 YC batchmates and YC's voice/AI alumni Slack for design-partner intros to mid-market sales orgs evaluating AI SDRs.
- fundraisingWith Sela ~2 years in and growing headcount, start mapping Series A leads who back voice AI (a16z, Bessemer, Greylock) and warm intros via your VoiceOps cap table (Accel, Bain Capital Ventures).
- hiringAt 11 people, your highest-leverage hire is likely an applied ML / voice-model lead who can own latency, interruption handling, and prompt eval infrastructure.
- positioningYour LinkedIn posts on A/B testing AI sales coaching are unique POV — turn that series into a longer-form playbook or podcast to compound inbound from sales leaders.
- tacticalYour public GitHub has been dormant for 3+ years; either ship a small OSS eval harness for voice agents to reclaim builder credibility, or de-emphasize GitHub in your founder story entirely.
- tacticalLock in 5-10 marquee design partners now whose call volume and SDR cost data can headline your Series A deck.
