About

Building products that rethink how we find, assess, and grow talent. I'm into messy 0→1 stages, sharp UX, and tools that cut through HR fluff. Big fan of scrappy MVPs, fast feedback loops, and shipping before it's "ready." If it's got to do with talent management or the future of work, I'm already thinking about how to break it and rebuild it better.

🗣️ Find the right product, just ask

We just shipped something new on Product Hunt.

Ask Product Hunt AI is a way to explore launches, products, and discussions without digging through pages or trying the perfect search query. You can just ask a question and it pulls from everything happening on the platform products, comments, makers, all of it.

Looking for tools in a specific space? Want to see what people are saying about a launch? Trying to find something you saw last week but forgot the name of? Just ask.

"Book a demo" is killing your pipeline — not saving it

We've been analyzing demo funnels across B2B SaaS companies, and the pattern is consistent: the "Book a demo" button creates a 5 9 day gap between peak buyer intent and first product contact.

By the time the call happens, half the excitement is gone. No-show rates climb. Reps spend the first 15 minutes on basics the prospect would've preferred to explore alone.
The fix isn't a better calendar tool. It's removing the wait entirely.

We built Naoma to replace that gap with an instant AI demo live, conversational, running in the browser 24/7. The prospect gets a real product walkthrough the moment they click. We route qualified leads straight to sales.

In early pilots, we're seeing 6 20% visitor-to-demo conversion, which for most inbound funnels is a meaningful jump from the default.

We pivoted. Here's why — and what Naoma is now.

If you followed Naoma a year ago, you knew us as a sales conversation analytics tool. We connected to your CRM, analyzed rep calls, and surfaced patterns from top performers so the rest of the team could learn from them.

It worked. Teams liked the insights.

But we kept noticing the same thing: the real bottleneck wasn't after the demo. It was getting to the demo in the first place and what happened in those first few minutes before a rep ever joined.

Qualified buyers were waiting 3 6 days for a demo slot. Many dropped off. The ones who showed up often hadn't been properly qualified. Sales reps were spending half their week running intro demos for people who were never a fit.
