New Play: Joining CrewAI as Head of Growth

💭
CONTEXT:
- I’ve been going deep on the AI agent space last 6 months
- Realized that the market and TAM is huge
- My skill set is best fit for companies scaling from $Xm to $XXm arr

💭
WHY I JOINED: 

- I believe AI agents is the single biggest opportunity in tech in the last 2 decades
- I believe AI agent architecture will need to be open and interoperable
- I believe AI agent will only be useful in production with governance, security etc all in place
- I believe companies will avoid vendor lock in (with either a model, LLM or SaaS)
- I believe AI agent design needs to have both no-code and pro-code versions
- I believe open source applications will lead the way in innovation and adoption

Crew AI is maybe 1 of 3-4 companies that fit all those criteria

💭
WHAT IS CREW AI?

- AI agent platform to build, deploy and manage AI agents across any tech, data or AI stack
- 2 ways to use - No code (visual studio) or Pro Code (GitHub)
- 3 ways to buy - open source (no email, pay nothing), freemium (start free), or enterprise (buy the platform)

💭
TRACTION: 
- 10X ARR last year, will 4-5X this year
- Used by 60% of the Fortune 500
- 2B Agent interactions, 450M+ workflows / mo
- 100K+ folks using Crew to build complex AI agents
- Trusted by the largest companies deploying AI agents like Pepsi, Havas, J&J, AbInBev, PWC, IBM etc

💭
WHY I JOINED
- Insanely high growth space
- Insane viral bottoms up product adoption
- Excellent leadership team (all ex-Unicorns)
- Technical founder that is VERY charismatic (look up João (Joe) Moura)
- 3 GTM models that reinforce each other - open source, PLG, and enterprise
- Did all of this with almost no marketing team and budget, and very few sales people

I’m moving on from my current role at Coworker.ai

I joined Coworker when it was 6 people, mostly a big idea and a terrific founding team

The founders took a bet on me when I had never led growth at an early stage startup

In that time, we:
- Rebranded from Village Labs and launched as Coworker
- Launched Coworker 1.0 - the enterprise AI with a “company brain”
- Introduced our new messaging and positioning - “the AI agent for complex work”
- Launched Deep Work, OM1, Agents, Fast Mode and several other features

On the growth side:
a. Built a Inbound growth - hundreds of demos from launches, content and network
b. Built a sophisticated intent based outbound engine across email, LinkedIn
c. Launched experiments across warm outbound, paid ads, seo
d. Built $xxM in pipeline, over several hundred calls booked and demos

What I learned:

1. How to build a very sophisticated outbound engine at scale from Daniel and Halen
2. How to do terrific disvoery, and run a tight sales and POC process from Michael Saeta
3. How to do forecasting and budgeting from Nigel
4. How to really understand customer pain points and think design first from Vika 
5. How to keep customers front and center in every decision from Thomas Atkinson
6. How to work hard, stay positive and what good leadership looks like from the founders Alex and Bradford
7. How to get shit done and constantly experiment from Dhruv
8. How much energy it takes to stay customer-obsessed when you’re building something new.

--
The winner of Enterprise AI will be the company that can solve internal context, memory AND have great distribution

I’m proud of what we built, and even prouder of how we built it. And the friendships and connections made along the way.


To our customers and prospects: 
Thank you for your trust

To Alex and Bradford:

Thank you for letting me be part of this chapter.

I’m rooting for you hard.

Will share my next play very soon

SPOTTED!

Ran into this guy while out for pasta last week in SF

Here’s how the imaginary conversation went in my head:

@sama - Yo Sumeru, how’ve you been? Haven’t seen you on LinkedIn in a while.

Me - Hey Sam! Good to see you mate. You’re right, I took 2 months off LinkedIn. Spent time with my family, made some work moves and did some AI agent learning.

what's up with you?

@sama - not much man, trying to raise $100B, launched codex and frontier, and trying to stay out of prison

Me - woah sounds like a lot

anyway enjoy the pasta

Love these casual encounters

P.S. I'm back on LinkedIn after a 2 month break

I've been flirting with AI since 2011, but I actually NEVER WENT DEEP. 

My plan is to change that

I've been hovering around AI for a while: 

- Got a CompSci degree in college 2011
- Took 2 courses on AI and ethics 2013
- Worked at 3 AI startups (Gong, data ai, Coworker) 2019-2025

But I never really went deep. Never really: 

- studied the foundations 
- never setup a proper GitHub
- never shipped small projects 
- never learned how to think in systems
- never learned how to orchestrate with AI

That's changing now. 

6 months ago I got really interested in how to build an internal AI first system for GTM. 

So I decided to re-teach myself, from the basics and foundations up. 

Here is a simple plan I've built for learning AI for GTM as a non-dev. 

- Alternates between theory and Practicals
- Covers the foundations
- Has lots of use cases that I use in my day job as well
- Adapted to my learning style (learn 1 thing -> build 1 thing)

The plan is to spend 5-6 hrs / week for the next 6 moths

Excited to share my progress and results here. 

--

If you'd like a copy of the learning plan, just leave a comment or send me a DM. Happy to share with other non-devs on the same learning path.

Sales Development Representative

WiderFunnel

As an account and project manager, my role was assisting the lead strategist with conversion optimisation strategy by representing our client's needs. After the client approved the strategy, I handled all production and approvals through setting the right expectations with internal/external stakeholders to ensure project delivery.

In this role, I learnt a lot about conversion optimisation and the role of good UX/Analytics in strategy creation. It was also an opportunity to exercise my relationship management and communication skills. My client list including HP, IBM and ASICS, all of whom had very technical requirements that we had to troubleshoot through as a team and helped grow our problem solving skills considerably.

Account Manager

CodeCore Bootcamp

Hired as the first employee in a technology education bootcamp as the school was getting ready to open it's door. I had the opportunity to assist with the non-technical operations of the school, allowing the founders to focus on education and project work. Initially my role focused on admissions and marketing strategy in order to fill our classes. Once the company grew, I moved over to handle hiring partnerships and community development. It was a great experience to work in a small team and push myself to learn/grow as we established ourselves.

Business Development Manager

Strutta

My first role out of university in a fast paced sales first SaaS company. During my time at Strutta I learned the sales process from some of the best in the business. The experience ended with me at 135% of target over the 5 months and with Strutta being acquired.

The foundations I picked up then is what makes me the sales/marketing person I am today.
