I'm addicted to figuring out distribution. Now I want to do it for an AI startup
Hey founders wassup 🤟
I'm putting this out here because I've always liked the idea that if you want to find something, you should say it out loud and put it where the people you're looking for can actually see it. So here I am 🤞
I'm a 21 year old CS student who's spent the last 3 years building with AI. I've worked with LLMs, RAG, AI agents, automation and a bunch of other things. I enjoy building, but lately I've become much more interested in what happens after something is built.
Who actually needs it?
Where do you find them?
What makes them care?
What makes them reply?
Why do they buy?
And once you find something that works, how do you turn it into a system that keeps bringing customers in?
That's the part I keep getting pulled toward.
I'm addicted to figuring out distribution.
And now I want to stop just thinking about it and take action to do it inside a real startup.
I'm looking to join an early stage AI startup on the GTM / sales side, ideally working directly with the founder and alongside someone who's already been through the early sales journey.
I'm not expecting someone to hand me a massive territory or an AE title on day one.
I'll start wherever I'm needed.
I'll prospect.
I'll build pipeline.
I'll do the follow ups.
I'll sit on calls.
I'll learn the objections.
I'll build the systems.
I'll eventually run the calls solo and close the deals.
And because I come from the technical side, I can understand what we're actually selling, build tools and automations when needed, and talk to technical customers without needing everything translated.
I'm particularly interested in AI SaaS, AI agents, developer tools, automation and B2B AI.
If you're an AI founder who needs someone hungry enough to help figure out distribution, or you're an early/founding AE who could use someone alongside you, I would love to talk.
I'm not looking for a job to put on my CV. I want to learn how to grow a startup.
