When Technical Founders Have to Learn to Sell, featuring Saumya Bhatnagar of involve.ai

What happens when a technical founder has to learn to sell?

In this episode of Revenue Remix, Summer sits down with Saumya Bhatnagar — co-founder and CTO of Involve.ai — whose mission is to make AI actually useful for revenue teams.

From running a hospital as a kid (seriously) to running a tech company through the chaos of scale, Saumya shares the real founder shift: moving from building cool products to building revenue.

They unpack:

* Why most AI-for-sales hype misses the point

* How bad data silently kills growth

* The danger of “set it and forget it” automations

* What early-stage founders get wrong about customer success

* And why every startup needs a “flex person” before they need a full CS team

Saumya’s sharp, funny, and brutally honest take will hit home for anyone navigating the messy middle between scrappy startup and scalable machine.
