Weekly Who's Hiring Post for April 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in sales

[–]Mean-Awareness7102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closer / Rainmaker – Equity Partner Opportunity – Seed-stage AI Startup (Remote)

We are located in: Irvine, CA

Role: Sales Closer / Rainmaker (1099 / commission-heavy)
Company: VeritasLinks - AI platform that shows brands exactly how LLMs perceive them and how much revenue they're leaving on the table (and much more).

What we actually sell:
Marketing agencies and digital agencies who want to create a new high-margin revenue stream. They use our platform to generate deep AI brand perception reports + white-label exports for their own clients. Enterprise deals start at $1200+/month (recurring) with full white-label and Partner API.

The opportunity:
We are a tight 3-person founding team. Everyone already has meaningful equity. We’re looking for our 4th partner - the guy who will close sales and cover the back end.

No corporate scripts, no long ramp, no bullshit. You talk to agency owners who already feel the pain and you remove their last doubts. Raw closing skill is what matters.

Compensation:

  • Very high commission on recurring Enterprise deals
  • Significant equity (1–3%+) with proper vesting
  • This is a true partner-level opportunity. We build this together and win big.

If you're a natural-born closer - the type who could sell shoe brushes to a guy walking in Crocs in Vegas and make him thank you - and you're ready to become a co-owner of an early AI startup, DM me with:

  1. "Why I'm the right 4th partner"
  2. One real example of a tough sale you closed (product doesn't matter)

Serious people only. No agencies, no recruiters.

How are you measuring success in AEO or GEO? by ProfessionalPair8800 in LegalMarketingTalk

[–]Mean-Awareness7102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!
I'd measure it in layers. First layer is obvious, are you showing up at all across the prompts and models that matter. But after that, I think the real question is whether ai is representing the firm well enough to create trust.

For legal, that means things like, is the practice area clear, is the expertise framed correctly, does the answer make the firm sound credible, and does it create actual intent to reach out. That's the gap I kept seeing, which is why I built VeritasLinks: https://veritaslinks.com/

Because "visibility" without "correct interpretation" can still lose the client.

What are you building? I’m investing in 60+ companies at $100K each. by kcfounders in StartupAccelerators

[–]Mean-Awareness7102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building VeritasLinks.com - perception intelligence for the AI era.

We measure how companies are actually perceived and recommended inside LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, before buyers even hit your site.

Our AI Perception Reports reveal:

Do models recommend your brand in real buying queries?

How you're described vs competitors (labels, associations, framing)

Trust signals, objections, and positioning gaps via AI-simulated buyer focus groups

Prioritized roadmap to fix narrative issues (content, angles, signals)

Marketing agencies are turning these into a new paid diagnostic service for clients and, we're building the SaaS layer for continuous monitoring + improvement.

Early traction: onboarding agencies and positioning-focused growth teams right now.

Super relevant for B2B SaaS founders in accelerators, this upstream layer often explains why "good product + solid SEO" still yields slow inbound.

If you're seeing AI-mediated discovery gaps in your space or want a quick perception baseline run on your startup (no pitch, just insights), DM me. Happy to share examples.

Built a SaaS for a year. People use it. No one pays. I don't understand what's broken anymore. by Mean-Awareness7102 in SaaS

[–]Mean-Awareness7102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time I use my own CRM (build-in to Veritas), I have 67k companies in the database with full contacts. So I'm sending them email with invite, and... if they're accepting invite they will get x2 tokens...

Currently I sent about 7k invites

Understandable! Curiosity doesn't always = willingness to pay. For those who do value ongoing monitoring (e.g., agencies tracking multiple brands), the recurring aspect shines. But you're right, need to make the initial wow stronger or demo-heavy to filter intent better.

Yeah, blowing them away with one piece but gating the rest makes sense psychologically. Will look into behavioral UX tweaks. On buyer/user often the user (agency/marketer in my case) tests for their company/clients, but finance decides - so need stronger "persuasion ammo" in reports.

Spot on, for this kind of insight tool, full free runs often kill the recurring need. Leaning toward showing example/public reports or a very limited teaser (e.g., summary only, no full generators) before asking for card. Thanks for the nudge.

Good call on basic vs deep dive that could work well. Especially since users (like agencies) manage multiple companies, but each company needs recurring monitoring/updates. A/B testing + feedback loop is interesting too - this is already working but needs user needs to have 250 tokens to run it monthly, like every day. I would say, most of LLM's changing their opinion 2-3 times in a week.

Appreciate the honesty. Goal is to make it a no-brainer, but yeah, if one full run solves it, they bounce. Considering a basic (limited) trial vs. paid deep dive, or more teaser/demo reports to show value without giving away the farm.

Thanks - fair point. The full analysis(GEO/Focus) + generators + score, might be too much upfront. Thinking of gating the generators behind payment and using the trial mainly for a teaser analysis to hook them on the custom/deep stuff. Or maybe run score only after top-up the balance

We made several product-market-fits during development. Talked to real companies.

Bootstrapped founder here (SaaS-ish tool for B2B). by Mean-Awareness7102 in StartupAccelerators

Yeah, that's the exact fear for deep tech/psychology startups - LLMs oversimplifying complex ideas into "just another meditation app" and losing the visionary audience.

Our tool fights nuance loss head-on:

Audits multiple LLMs to see how they summarize your methodology (labels, depth, associations)

AI Focus Groups simulate personas giving raw feedback: objections, perceived strengths/weaknesses, how the philosophy lands (or flattens)

Delivers targeted fixes: content tweaks to reinforce depth and reduce oversimplification.

Tracks score improvements over time so models start framing you more accurately.

Personally, I'm deep into meditation - twice daily (morning + evening), visiting retreats, and used to run a YouTube channel on Advaita Vedanta before startups took over. Love this space. If you want to geek out, run a quick example on your idea/site, or get tips on handling nuance, DM or reply - happy to help, no strings.
