How does a casual conversation about potential future funding turn into finding your CCO?
That is exactly what happened to us.
We started a conversation about a new fund that may be formed in the future and whether Intrascope could potentially be interesting for it.
The conversation quickly went in a completely different direction.
We went deep into the product, the problem we are solving, enterprise AI adoption, security, governance and what companies actually need when their teams start using multiple AI models.
At some point, we both realized the same thing.
We should not just be talking about potential funding.
We should be working together.
The next day, an offer arrived.
He joined our founding team as CCO, bringing 25 years of enterprise experience, an incredible network of potential customers and something we, as technical founders, have never really had before - A proper sales infrastructure.
The collaboration has only just started, but we are already seeing results.
For us, this is a major milestone.
@Intrascope.app is gradually moving deeper into the enterprise market, where control over AI costs, context and content can have the biggest impact.
It is funny how sometimes the most important outcome of a meeting is something that was never on the agenda.
Have you ever had a meeting that started with one topic and ended somewhere completely different, and much better than you could have expected?

The best deals never follow the agenda.
We have signed some of our biggest clients from conversations that started as something completely different. A funding chat becoming a CCO hire might be the best version of that I have heard.
Enterprise buyers care about control, security and cost predictability more than shiny features. Sounds like you just added the one person who can translate that into pipeline. Congrats! @vkrstic
