Salesgraph is becoming Antinuous.
We started as Salesgraph, building agents and workflows for enterprise sales teams.
In enterprise sales, there are four bottlenecks: pipeline, execution, internal, and implementation
Pipeline: how can I do effective outreach to more people.
Execution: how can I boost deal win rate.
Internal: how can I make CPQ, deal-desk, approvals, and negotiations fast.
Implementation: how can I get new customers onboarded smoothly post-sale to avoid clawback.
We were working on execution first, because we solved that internally at Mintlify. After we started tackling pipeline generation, we realized that pipeline generation tools make great primitives for all research.
To build pipeline, you need to create tables of people and companies that you want to sell into. From those tables, you create primitives to dive deeper and do more specialized research to then build automations off of.
What if you want to do deeper research? Learn the industry that your pipeline is built on, map vertical bottlenecks to your solution, go deep on each person to see how they relate to you? Now, you’re going the extra mile to partner on a solution to a business problem with each client, not just features.
But what if you expand this past sales?
What if you’re in manufacturing and want to map supply chain bottlenecks to do better capacity planning?
What if you’re in finance and want to see what data-center construction is doing to grid prices in Texas and Louisiana?
What if you’re in R&D at a biotech and want to run virtual simulations overnight without hooking it up to your lab equipment.
This tool that we built for a niche use case of account research and pipeline generation turns out to be the perfect primitive for all research.
Now, our goal is simple: build the best tools to run simulations, experiments, and research in collaboration autonomously.
We can then build the most intuitive way to give humans info from that research in a way they can digest and build a better flywheel.
We quickly went from asking how good can we make sales outreach more effective to asking how many people we can reach who have a question they can’t answer because they don’t have the tools or knowhow.
From building the tools to close revenue more effectively, we realized there's a much larger opportunity to build better tools to answer any question.
As Antinuous, we are building an autonomous research platform where people can investigate their hardest questions and turn what they learn into action.
