The Revenue Excellence Platform
We are building Accord, a platform that turns the best sales practices - like multi-threading accounts, mutual action plans, and CFO-proof business cases - into repeatable playbooks for every sales rep. It automates the tedious parts of revenue work: researching accounts, mapping stakeholders, and producing actionable intelligence so reps can focus on closing deals.
We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based there after YC.
San Francisco is where we're rooted, close to our network and key customers. Staying here lets us tap into the strongest sales tech ecosystem while recruiting top talent for a B2B SaaS company.
