Our CEO is a former professional poker player who built and sold a company before this one. Right now, he is also personally the company's router: billing, vendor invoices, support triage, contract prep, recruiting coordination, and meeting logistics all flow through his inbox. Your job is to take that entire layer off his plate, run it better than he did, and earn your way into the work that sits closest to him. You will learn more about how a real business actually works in twelve months here than in three years anywhere else, because you will be inside every decision, not reading about it in a deck. ## How we work Bootstrapped and profitable, so revenue is the strategy. We run on our customers' clock. They are East Coast; we start early. No task is above or beneath anyone here, including the CEO, who still cold calls. AI first: we expect you to use AI to automate your own work, then everyone else's. Speed over polish. Results over activity. ## What you will own first - Billing and collections. Monitor Stripe for failed payments and overdue invoices, chase them to resolution, reconcile checks. The CEO should never type the word "Paid" again. - Contract and system alignment. Keep HubSpot, PandaDoc, Stripe, and our internal database in sync so what a customer signed, what they use, and what they pay always match. Today these drift and revenue leaks. You stop that. - Upgrade and renewal execution. Deals close, you prepare the paperwork, update billing, send the recap. Leadership approves; you execute. - Accounts payable and customer billing support. Vendor invoices processed on schedule, customer requests handled same day. ## What you will own by day 90 - Inbound routing. Everything that lands with the CEO gets resolved or routed by you, with follow through until closed. - Recruiting operations. Applicant responses, sourcing tools, interview scheduling, and pipeline tracking across multiple open roles. - CEO operations. Meeting prep, follow up tracking from calls, and the recurring tasks that currently live in his head. What this grows into Once the operational layer runs without reminders, you graduate into the work most companies reserve for MBAs and consultants: - New market research. We are expanding beyond staffing. You research the industries, size the opportunities, and build the briefs that decide where we go next. - Pricing and deal modeling. Model pricing scenarios for enterprise deals, partner revenue shares, and new products. - Partnership and channel research. Find the ecosystems where our next hundred customers already live. - Special projects. Whatever needs analyzed, scoped, or figured out, you are the CEO's first call. We will not pretend this is the day one job. The strategic work is earned by making the operational work disappear. But it is real, it is the path, and your analysis will change actual company decisions, not die in a slide deck. What success looks like - First 30 days: zero overdue invoices without an active follow up, and the three system reconciliation is current. - First 90 days: you own the routing layer and recruiting coordination runs without reminders. - Year one: the operational layer runs without you being asked, and you have shipped at least two strategic projects that changed a company decision. Who succeeds here You are one to three years out of school and can point to concrete evidence you outwork and outthink your peers: you ran something, built something, worked through school, competed at something seriously, or were the person your last team could not function without. You are organized to a fault and nothing you own needs to be asked about twice. You write clean, professional English fast. You are fluent with spreadsheets and already use AI tools to work faster. And you have judgment: half this job is defined tasks, the other half is noticing what needs doing before anyone assigns it. Experience with Stripe, HubSpot, or billing is a plus, not a requirement. We can teach tools. We cannot teach ownership. This is not for you if - You think grunt work is beneath you. Billing is week one, and it is how you earn everything after it. - You need detailed instructions for every task. - You want a job description that never changes. This role expands every month. - You are looking for a remote job. This role works alongside our CEO in Los Angeles. ## About Whippy ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Whippy is an AI-powered omnichannel communication platform that automates sales, support, marketing, and hiring through intelligent voice and chat agents. - **Entity Type**: Private (startup stage – funding not publicly disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Culver City, Los Angeles, California, United States - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: David Daneshgar (CEO) and Jack Kennedy (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: AI-powered business communication / Software Development - **Target customers**: B2B – SMB and mid-market companies across industries (sales, support, recruiting, marketing) - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Transforming how businesses engage across all communication channels – eliminating manual work with intelligent AI Agents that work 24/7 in any language.” ## Products & Services - **AI Sales Rep**: Qualifies prospects, books meetings, and follows up automatically. - **AI Support Rep**: Resolves tier-1 tickets and gathers context for human agents. - **AI Recruiter**: Screens applicants and schedules interviews instantly. - **AI Receptionist**: Answers FAQs, routes calls, and captures leads. - **Omnichannel Inbox**: Unified messaging across SMS, Email, Voice, WhatsApp, and more. - **Workflow Automations**: Customizable automations for sales, support, and marketing workflows. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: 33 employees (+44.8% YoY growth); operates in 11 countries (United States, Argentina, Bulgaria, Ireland, Brazil, United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, Portugal, Estonia, etc.) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not disclosed - **Growth Signals**: 44.8% annual headcount growth; expanding global footprint; 3 active job postings (as of mid-2025); increasing LinkedIn followers (+41.6% yearly) ## Competitive Advantages - **AI-first, all-in-one platform**: Replaces multiple tools (CRM, phone system, chatbot, recruiting software) with a single AI-powered suite. - **Multilingual and 24/7**: AI agents work in any language, around the clock, reducing manual effort. - **Omnichannel by design**: Seamless integration across SMS, voice, email, WhatsApp, and social channels. - **Proven tech stack**: Built on modern technologies (Elixir, React, TypeScript, Twilio, Telnyx, HubSpot, Zapier) enabling rapid iteration and scalability. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling AI agent capabilities, expanding into new geographies (especially LATAM), and deepening integrations with popular business tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.). - **Growth direction**: Moving from early adopters to mid-market ACV customers, hiring revenue and engineering leaders to support that shift. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & work environment**: Hybrid (flexible on-site in Culver City) and fully remote roles available; small team (~33 people) with a startup feel, low bureaucracy, and direct impact. - **Engineering culture**: Modern stack (Elixir, React, TypeScript, Figma, SQL); emphasis on ownership and technical excellence; open roles for backend, frontend, and engineering management. - **Global team**: Employees in 11+ countries; remote-first for many roles; inclusive and diverse talent sources. - **Perks**: Hands-on training from founders, growth opportunities, and the chance to shape an early-stage AI product from the ground up. ## Sources 1.
