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, Marketing, CS, & Leadership Recruiting | Blueprint Expansion aka gtmrecruiter.com

We help early and mid-stage companies recruit exceptional go-to-market talent (that others often miss).

These articles cover my thinking on various topics
https://www.linkedin.com/in/cbrotman/recent-activity/posts/

Here are six core beliefs:

1. We need to do a better job at promoting career opportunities for underrepresented groups in the broadest possible sense.  DEI professionals often get this wrong.  We need to change the way we source, engage, and onboard talent from all walks of life.  If we do so, companies will perform better.

2. Cronyism is a problem in tech hiring.  We need to get more comfortable hiring strangers and getting outside our personal networks.  

3. If you hire "from the gut," you may not have a hiring process. Without a process, you cannot scale.

4. It's not a virtue to "fire fast" - and it's never been a virtue.  Companies need to do a better job at on-boarding their new hires.

5. Personal branding evangelism has pyramid-scheme like features.  Worrying about your personal brand before you develop key skills is putting the cart before the horse. 

6. Be wary of remote work evangelism. It may be creating the conditions for the outsourcing of everything.  Sitting on video calls all day is dystopian.  I like remote work, but it's had an adverse impact on our communities, mental health and talent skills development. It's a very complicated topic.
