❗Your engineers are wasting 6+ months building meeting integrations.❗

Why? Because every platform (Zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams) has different APIs, constant updates, and hidden edge cases.

❌ Building in-house = wasted engineering time.
❌ Maintaining it = ongoing distractions from core product development.
❌ Scaling it = reliability nightmares that break at the worst time.

That’s why we built Recall.ai.

✅ One API to handle every meeting integration for you.
✅ Ship in days, not months.
✅ Powering 1200+ companies, from early-stage startups to billion-dollar SaaS teams.

BREAKING NEWS: We just raised our $38M Series B, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with HubSpot Ventures and Salesforce Ventures joining the round.

When David Gu and I started Recall.ai, the idea was simple: make meeting data accessible as an API.

Three years later, over 2,000 companies - including HubSpot, ClickUp, and Apollo - have launched AI copilots, agents, sales tools, and more on top of us.

Recall.ai is the API for meeting recording. From Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, to desktop. 
We give developers one reliable infrastructure layer to capture, store, and analyze the data that powers their products.

This milestone is only possible because of the builders who trusted us early, the team who put in the work, and the partners who believed in this vision. 

Thank you. 
We’re just getting started.

p.s. couldn’t ask for better partners on this journey  — Talia Goldberg and the team at Bessemer Venture Partners for leading the round, plus HubSpot Ventures , Salesforce Ventures , Ridge Ventures, Y Combinator, RTP Ventures, and incredible angels like Paul Graham, Solomon Hykes, Michael Seibel, and Eoghan McCabe

The API for meeting recording | Co-founder at Recall.ai

We just raised our $38M Series B. To celebrate, we’re buying lunch for every dev, founder, and product person in SF.

Thursday we shared the news.
Today it’s our turn to say thank you.

If you’re in SF, drop “Lunch” in the comments and I’ll reach out.
Or tag a dev, founder, or product friend in SF. We’ll take care of them too.

At the end of the day, this raise isn’t just about us.
It’s about the builders turning ideas into the next wave of AI.

p.s. bandwidth is limited so I’m keeping this to today only

Recall.ai power billions of minutes of meeting recording with our Meeting Bot API.

Now we’re expanding to a Desktop Recording SDK.

p.s. this is just a teaser. full explanation drops Thursday

Every $200K+ deal we closed this year had the same 30/70 split. We talked 30%, they talked 70%. Here’s what active listening actually looks like in practice.

Earlier this year, we were losing a deal. The prospect kept saying our pricing was “too expensive” and they could “just run their own infrastructure.”

------

Here’s the actual conversation that turned it around:

Prospect: “Look, this is just too expensive. It’s cheaper to run our own infra. It works most of the time.”

Me: “Let me make sure I understand. You like Recall and want to stay with us, but the price is the blocker. And you’re unsure because your in-house build works 95% of the time, but when that 5% happens, everything’s on fire. Is that right?”

Prospect: “Exactly. And when those recordings don’t happen, our customers lose trust in us.”
Me: “So what happens during that 5% when the recordings fail?”

Prospect: “We scramble. We drop everything. Customers get angry. It’s a nightmare.”

At that point, they started selling themselves. The deal closed two weeks later.

-----

I didn’t pitch features. I didn’t counter their objections. 
I just repeated back what they told me until they heard their own problem clearly.

People won’t listen to your solution until they feel heard about their problem. Most prospects give you a jumbled monologue mixing what they want with what’s broken. Your job is to untangle it and reflect it back.

The magic happens when they say “exactly.” That’s when you know you’ve earned the right to solve their problem.

Active listening isn’t just nodding along. It’s making sure they know you understand before you try to be understood.
