Attio CEO Nicolas Sharp Returns: Ask Attio & Universal Context
The 'return of the king' Nicolas Sharp rejoins the show from Attio's new London office. He introduces Ask Attio, a conversational interface to CRM data that can finally reason over unstructured data — calls, emails, tickets — describing how he runs a daily workflow over hundreds of hours of calls for summaries and product feedback. He details the 'universal context' data layer built on embeddings and vector search, notes Attio is now at roughly 7,000 companies and the fifth-largest CRM in Ramp's data, and says the team is in hardcore R&D mode with no playbooks for applied AI software.
Nicolas Sharp on the Software Selloff, Vibe Coding & Building in London
Sharp calls the recent software stock selloff an overreaction, arguing companies like Figma will remain relevant because building, maintaining and supporting reliable software at scale is far harder than vibe-coding a prototype. He describes Attio's deeply AI-pilled culture where even growth marketing writes the most code after engineering, with employees vibe-coding tools like a pricing calculator, and predicts easier tooling will create many more builders, drawing a parallel to kids learning via Minecraft scripts. He explains why Attio stays in London — talent depth, time-zone reach, building global from day one — while revealing new offices in New York and San Francisco, and discusses retention, globally competitive salaries, and secondaries as employee liquidity given long private-company timelines.

Attio CEO Nicolas Sharp: Ask Atio Launch & New Offices
Nicolas Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Attio, returns to unveil Ask Atio, a conversational interface that reasons over unstructured data like calls and emails, built on a new 'universal context' data layer. He shares that Attio is the fifth-largest and fastest-growing CRM in Ramp's data with around 7,000 companies, argues the software-stock selloff is an overreaction, and explains why vibe-coded internal tools won't replace enterprise software. He also details the new London office plus newly opened New York and San Francisco offices, London's talent-retention edge over San Francisco, and how his growth marketing and sales teams now write lots of code.
