Before you read this, (and you'll want to read it all)
Now, let me tell you all a story (the founding 100 have this before so bare with me)
You know Pandora's Box? That vault of now over 200 ideas I've continued adding to? It started with a group of us back when we were just teenagers.
Every week, we'd sit around sharing business ideas. The rule was simple: try to destroy each other's ideas. Poke every hole. Question every assumption. And if an idea survived? We'd pick one to chase.
Sam was in that group.
It's wild to think about now, but Sam and I actually grew up together. Our moms would watch me and my three siblings + Sam and his four brothers. Vice versa, his mom watching all of us (and we were an absolute handful) Back then, we'd just play and burn time like kids do. Causing as much chaos as we could. But as we got older, we all knew we wanted to build something important. Something different.
Fast forward to college. Sam's at MIT. And launched his first version of Fireflies: A food delivery app.
It worked. But not to the scale that he wanted. So Sam did what Sam does.
He doubled down. Talked to users. Explored the market. Spotted holes. Pivoted, again and again.
13 pivots later, Fireflies.ai was born. Today, Fireflies.ai is used by 75% of Fortune 500 companies. 20 million users. 500,000+ organizations, and they've been profitable since 2023. For over two years now. Here's the part most people don't know: in the early days, Sam and his co-founder took notes by hand. Manually join customer calls, to write everything down and study calls. They did this for over 100 calls just to learn what was needed, to master the guardrails they'd need to set before building the real thing.
Last June, Fireflies hit $1+ billion valuation.
And he's coming to Business Builders Club for a live Q&A this month!
Here's how this works:
I want these to be intimate, real conversations, not a 500-person webinar where no one gets heard.
For free members I'll drop a question form to submit all of your questions so I can ask some for you.
With this coming, I've made all prices OVER 55% off for everyone in the community until Monday.
For those of you that sign up today, you will be locked in at that price forever and will never pay more.
Note: If you've already paid for a plan since we launched,
I'll be refunding you so you can signup at this price. A thank you for being one of the first 1,000 here.
You're going to get to ask him anything. How he survived 13 pivots. How he knew when to quit vs when to keep going. How he stayed profitable. How he hired. How he thought about product. How he out-executed every other AI company in his space. This is the kind of access BBC is going to provide.
Every quarter, I'm bringing in founders from my network who have actually done it. People who have built real companies, made real money, and learned lessons you can't find in a YouTube video. 🚀
More details coming soon.
