July 2024 Investor Update

Hi all,

Excited to update you on our progress in July. I’ll now be sending monthly investor updates in this format instead of the previous quarterly decks.

We’ve been working on updating our new vision of Grain as an opinionated AI Assistant for Account Executives over the last ~6 months and have made a lot of progress—excited for you to see this in the market soon. I’ll share more about this in my next update.

Our biggest win from July was major improvements in our inbound sales motion. This gives us the confidence to invest in marketing, which will accelerate our growth. Read below for more details.

Please note that we ask for your complete confidentiality regarding these updates. Please refrain from sharing them with any external parties.

Warm regards,

Jeff

There are two things we’d love your help with, if able:

1. Intro to a possible Head of Marketing: We’re hiring a Head of Marketing. The ideal profile for us would be strong SaaS IC marketing experience with a content motion, preferably at a startup, and looking to step up into a Head of Marketing role, but still happy to be an IC for the next while as we build out / prove things.

• Intros to people at HubSpot or in the ecosystem: We’re going to HubSpot Inbound in September, and we’d love to meet people there. We’d love intros if you know anyone at HubSpot or are heavily involved in the ecosystem and will be there (e.g., HubSpot Implementation Partners).
