Become the second AE at Pylon.
We're a startup backed by a16z (Series A), General Catalyst (Seed), and Y Combinator (Pre-Seed), building the next-generation customer support platform.
We replace products like Salesforce Service Cloud ($8.3B/yr) and Zendesk ($1.3B/yr).
Two months ago we onboarded our first AE and they've been crushing it.
Our pipeline can now support multiple more AEs.
Majority of our pipeline is coming inbound.
You will start by selling mostly high volume deals to early-stage B2B companies (< 500 employees) in tech, though the number of industries and company-sizes that we can sell to is growing quickly as our product matures and expands to eat away at the broader support system market.
The Product
We're building a customer support platform (same category as Zendesk)
Our product is insanely powerful today, and what's coming next is even more exciting
