AI models are improving faster than most companies can put them to work. Endeavor closes that gap. We exist to secure American industrial leadership. AI is the largest advantage available to the companies that make, move, and defend things in this country, and most of them can't reach it alone. We close that distance — so their customers pay less, their people do work worth doing, and the companies themselves come out stronger than the competition abroad. To do that, we build custom AI systems for companies in mission-critical industries — manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, defense, life sciences. Not software they rent from a vendor that doesn't understand their business. Systems they own, built inside their own stack, in production in weeks. Operating Principles - One team, one fight. Small companies fail for a hundred reasons. Being internally misaligned shouldn't be one of them. We think like owners of the whole business — the question is always how we win. We're fighting the world, not each other. - Strong convictions, loosely held. Show up with a point of view and hold that view loosely enough that better evidence can move it. The best ideas come from candor and debate. - Default to open. Our clients trust us with their hardest problems and we extend that same trust internally. Information here is open by default — data, context, the reasoning behind decisions — because you can't own an outcome you can only see half of. ## The Role | Business Development Representative As a Business Development Representative, you will identify and qualify new business opportunities, generate leads, and build relationships with potential clients. You will collaborate closely with the sales team to develop strategies, set up meetings, and ensure successful handoffs of qualified leads for closing. Your role will require consistent communication, client outreach, and an ability to effectively present and tailor solutions to fit client needs. ## What We Require - Genuine curiosity about the customer. You research the market, form a point of view, and bring it to the call instead of reciting a script. - Comfort with a half-built playbook. Ours isn't finished. You'd rather help write it than wait for it, and you can move with 70% of the information and correct as you learn. - Self-direction. You set your own pace, flag what's working and what isn't, and ask for help early instead of quietly stalling. - A teammate people want on their accounts. You share what's working, take direct feedback without getting defensive, and make the AEs and marketers around you better. - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is preferred. Compensation: $60,000 base salary plus commission with an OTE of $100,000+. ## About endeavorai.com ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Endeavor AI provides an AI agent platform that automates back-office workflows for manufacturing and distribution companies, including quoting, order entry, accounts payable, and phone call automation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $7M seed round, October 2024) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Sami Senapathy (CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Manufacturing, Distribution, Supply Chain, Enterprise AI - **Target customers**: B2B – suppliers, distributors, and large enterprises in industrial and manufacturing sectors - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Bring AI to the back office” – automate manual processes with intelligent agents that learn from existing workflows and integrate with ERP, CRM, and email. ## Products & Services - **Phone Call Automation**: AI agent that handles inbound customer calls, answers questions, and processes requests directly into the ERP system. - **Accounts Receivable**: Automates cash collection, payment reminders, and reconciliation. - **Accounts Payable**: Automates 3-way matching, invoice processing, and approval workflows. - **Order Entry AI**: Automates order entry and changes from emails, PDFs, portals, and spreadsheets, with 90%+ accuracy. - **Platform**: Connects to ERP, CRM, and core systems; provides analytics and insights from operational data (invoices, POs, quotes). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$7 million** (Seed round led by Craft Ventures, October 2024) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Craft Ventures (David Sacks), Jack Altman (Benchmark, ex-Lattice), Joe Montana (4x Super Bowl champion), and advisors from Palantir, Snowflake, ServiceTitan, and Bridgestone. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount growth of +146.7% year-over-year (LinkedIn, approximately 35 employees) - Trusted by customers doing over $100B in annual sales - Claims 5x ROI and 90% reduction in manual tasks - Implementation in under 5 days ## Competitive Advantages - **Deep integration**: AI agents read and write directly into existing ERP, CRM, and email systems without replacing legacy software. - **Learning capability**: Platform learns from historical records and sample tasks, reducing human corrections by 95%+. - **Domain focus**: Specialized in manufacturing and distribution (not generic automation), with a team built by engineers from Palantir, NASA, MIT, and UC Berkeley. - **Speed of deployment**: “5 days to implement” – unusually fast for enterprise AI. ## Strategic Focus - Expand AI agent capabilities across the entire back office (sales, finance, supply chain) - Continue deepening integrations with major ERP and CRM platforms - Scale go-to-market in the US industrial heartland (Silicon Valley AI applied to traditional industries) ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Hybrid workspace (combination of remote and on-site) headquartered in San Francisco.
