What Salesgraph does

Salesgraph equips reps with the most relevant context throughout the deal stage, providing proactive pre-call notes and post-call next steps. Sellers are CEOs of their deals; they need to know who the buyer is, what triggered them to take the first call, what their pain points are, how much value this new tool is bringing, are there any technical blockers, etc. A sale is only good when it doesn't feel like a sale to your customer, but rather the sales rep solved a problem for the customer. This was the problem Ricardo and I solved at Mintlify. We created a business case generator that took in call recordings, background news triggers and job updates, Mintlify's ROI and Pricing calculator, past deals won, and customer case studies --> produced a 3 page document expressing the value Mintlify provided + why the quote presented is justifiable. In doing so we closed more enterprise deals at a higher ACV as our champion was able to build a better purchasing case internally. Our goal is to empower every sales team to close deals at a higher ACV, while making sure reps learn from their mistakes and create a smooth sales experience for their end customer.

The context layer for fast moving sales teams

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Salesgraph to give sales reps the relevant context they need at each deal stage. The product delivers proactive pre-call notes and post-call next steps using insights from call recordings, news triggers, pricing calculators, past deals, and case studies. It helps reps act like CEOs of their deals by understanding the buyer, their pain points, blockers, and the value our product brings, making sales less pushy and more problem-solving.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and Salesgraph would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and work. It's a hub for B2B SaaS and sales technology, making it easier to connect with early users and partners.
