Truebase Profile

“Truebase is a sales intelligence platform enabling B2B revenue teams to leverage generative AI to speed up prospecting (search, qualification, enrichment, personalization) to book more demos efficiently.”

“Truebase is my fourth startup, born from the challenges I faced in my prior roles. In each of these startups, my role often entailed finding customers, candidates, or investors. This consistent need for effective prospecting had me clocking countless hours on LinkedIn, sifting through profiles, and manually qualifying potential leads. This process was not only tedious but also time-consuming. As a technologist, I saw an opportunity to innovate and automate this process to improve efficiency. So, I began developing solutions to streamline these tasks. To validate my idea, I embarked on a customer discovery journey, which confirmed that many others were grappling with the same challenges. Recognizing this widespread need and equipped with a viable solution, I knew the time was ripe for Truebase, a platform designed to accelerate the B2B prospecting process and help revenue teams book more demos efficiently.”

“Truebase was kick-started with a pre-seed funding round of $1.8 million. For other founders embarking on the journey to secure funding, my advice is this: start crafting your pitch deck well in advance, ideally six to nine months before you start fundraising. This is crucial because it includes your traction slide, which showcases your startup's progress and achievements. Creating this early pushes you to focus on achieving key metrics that will form your narrative. It helps to prioritize your work and aligns your team with the story you want to tell investors. The process of securing funds is not just about presenting what you've done but also about demonstrating the trajectory you're on and your dedication to making it happen.”
