Hi Everyone! Redcar.io is live on Product Hunt today 🚀 We've been working super hard to bring it to you - an AI Sales Rep that actually works - it's the fastest way to get sales meetings for your B2B company. Redcar is fully autonomous end-to-end on both inbound website visitors AND cold outbound, so you can relax and watch the meetings roll in. 📌 How Redcar works: 1️⃣ De-anonymizes your website visitors and proactively reaches out 2️⃣ Outbounds to new customers using an integrated database with 275M+ contacts and 70M+ companies 3️⃣ Super in-depth lead qualification using our proprietary AI Agent platform (AgentExpress), which outperforms GPT-4 4️⃣ Writes hyper-personalized email outreach by researching the target customer's website, LinkedIn profile, and Google searches 5️⃣ Books meetings for you so you can just close deals Why did we build Redcar? As B2B founders, we felt the pain. I once paid $5k/month for ONE meeting 😬 So we built what we wished we had. 24/7 AI sales at scale. That actually works. 👋 Check us out on Product Hunt: https://lnkd.in/eBwZiBXE -- 💙 P.S. Appreciate your support!

“Most expertise in the world, whether you’re talking about structural engineers, oncologists, mental health therapists or primary care doctors, or journalists and teachers, that expertise will be near-free for all of us to access” Vinod Khosla on the potential of AI and how it could lead to broad deflation.

“As a big believer in AI and in OpenAI since 2018, in how large a transformation this technology can bring, we are privileged to be able to continue participating in OpenAI's growth. Today, with over 250 million people using ChatGPT every week to work, learn and play, OpenAI is well on its way to integrating across all areas of our society." - Vinod Khosla https://lnkd.in/d3CgBt7M

We are thrilled to be included on MIT Technology Review’s 2024 List of 15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch. “The climate crisis is a reality, and we are working every day to contribute to the solutions that will help mitigate it. Copper is crucial to this, being critical in everything from electrification to solar and while demand continues to increase, supply declines, making our work even more important. We are proud of MIT’s recognition of Ceibo’s technological developments which will accelerate copper production to help solve for this gap we will experience in the coming decade,” said Catalina Urrejola, CTO at Ceibo. More info https://lnkd.in/efhKjSP9 +++ Con tremendo orgullo les queremos contar que MIT Technology Review, revista de divulgación ligada a esta prestigiosa universidad, ha incluido a Ceibo en su lista anual de las 15 empresas de tecnología climática a las que hay que prestar atención. “La crisis climática es una realidad, y trabajamos cada día para contribuir con soluciones que ayuden a mitigarla. El cobre es clave en este esfuerzo, ya que es esencial en temas que van desde la electrificación hasta la energía solar. Sin embargo, mientras la demanda sigue aumentando, el suministro disminuye, lo que hace que nuestro trabajo sea aún más importante. Estamos orgullosos del reconocimiento de MIT a los desarrollos tecnológicos de Ceibo, que acelerarán la producción de cobre y contribuirán a cerrar esta brecha que enfrentaremos en la próxima década”, afirmó Catalina Urrejola, CTO de Ceibo.

Proud to partner with Rogo and work with Gabriel S. and team as they build Wall Street’s first AI Analyst!
I’m thrilled to announce that Rogo has raised an $18.5M Series A led by Keith Rabois at Khosla Ventures, along with Jack Altman, Eric Schmidt, Mantis Venture Capital, BoxGroup, Company Ventures, Original Capital, ScOp Venture Capital, and many others. We’re building Wall Street’s first AI Analyst. Rogo is designed to empower investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds to work smarter, faster, and more creatively. And we’ve already helped 25+ firms realize that change. I couldn’t be more proud of what our team has accomplished since our last raise in February. We’ve deployed to tens of thousands of bankers & investors globally, grown revenue 10x, and doubled our team size. Every day, we hear from clients how impactful Rogo has been on their work, and I’ve never had more conviction in what we’re building. To our clients, investors, and the incredible Rogo team—thank you for believing in this vision. Your support and dedication got us here, and this is only the beginning. We’re building and growing extremely quickly; we raised this round for our clients – to help us accelerate our roadmap & build better, faster. If you’re interested in partnering, learning more, or joining our team as we transform the future of finance, please reach out!
