The Story Of HyperGTM With Adit Trivedi

Written By xavi umeh

Adit Trivedi is our guest in this episode of the Ace Founder podcast.

He’s the co-founder of HyperGTM, and in this episode we discuss how his team uses AI to solve the biggest bottleneck in enterprise sales: getting past the noise of automated outreach to book meetings with key decision-makers.

We cover his wild entrepreneurial journey—from selling a B2C language app with 6 million users to discovering the power of highly targeted, hyper-personalized Account-Based Marketing (ABM).

If you are a B2B founder struggling to cut through the spam and actually connect with strategic accounts, you will want to hear Adit's masterclass on doing the unscalable work to win massive deals.
