Cosa fa Artisan

At Artisan, we’re building real AI employees - not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers’ tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time - just like a human would. Human team members use Artisan as their primary working platform, replacing a sprawling stack of sales tools, and have Artisans working alongside them. We went through Y Combinator (W24) and have raised $35M+ from top investors. We’re at $6M+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including Remote, Quora, and SumUp. We’re currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring.

AI employees starting with an AI BDR

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

We're building AI employees that work autonomously alongside humans rather than assisting them. Our first product, Ava, is an AI business development rep that finds leads, researches them, writes emails in the customer's voice, sends sequences, optimizes performance, and manages deliverability - all without human intervention. Teams use Artisan as their main platform, replacing multiple sales tools with one AI teammate.

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

We live and are based in San Francisco, CA, and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our best sales and AI engineering talent are. It lets us stay close to our early customers and investors, and be part of the B2B SaaS ecosystem.
