Just got back to the office, and easing back in is rough. But there's one coworker I'm oddly happy to see again: my CRM 😅 (sorry Jules)
Yes, I hear myself saying that.
When you're building a company, you need a CRM fast. I tested a whole range of them. All bad, each in its own way:
🤢 UX so awful you need a PhD to find the right button
💸 Pricing completely detached from reality when you're starting out
🤯 Zero adaptation to your stage: you need 5 features, they sell you 100
Then I found Attio: a neat UX a 5-year-old could figure out, affordable, scalable, with all the integrations you need 🧘♂️
Plugged into Claude, it's a game changer. Every morning: a recap of my leads. Ten seconds to give my cofounder a report on our pipeline. Priceless.
Current situation: opening my CRM in the morning isn't a chore anymore. It's almost become a pleasure ☕
Give Attio a try, you'll thank me later: https://lnkd.in/eV3qTeJ5

1y ago, Jules and I signed our first customer without having a product.
Back then, we had run discovery with several B2C brands, and all we wanted was to test some assumptions without spending too much time building.
So we started selling a solution to see if some brands could see enough value to buy it. Turns out we signed one, but during onboarding, we realized our product was only halfway complete. 🫣
At least we knew we were on the right track. So we went back to building and returned to the brand one month later with our MVP ready.
Since then, our product has evolved a lot: we’ve pivoted, changed our business model, and started selling to totally different target customers.
None of this journey would have been possible without learning along the way. By trying, failing, and succeeding in some ways.
Still a lot to learn, and we’re just getting started 🧨

Creator advertising is outperforming all other marketing channels. Yet brands can't go all in.
For the past months, we've been listening to brands and creators struggling to run successful campaigns efficiently.
One thing became clear: what the market needs is not "one more tool".
But a data-driven approach without the operational hassle.
That's why we're pivoting Gems AI into the first AI-native ad platform for creator advertising.
Same vision, clearer path. And we're making it real, backed by 2 strategic advisors & investors: Romain Kuzniak & Piyush Mishra!
If you're a brand or creator and want to be part of this, my DMs are open.
