Stiller Launch Day: Siavash Gourbani
The hosts play Stiller's launch video and demo before interviewing co-founder Siavash Gourbani roughly two hours after the product went live. He describes Stiller as an AI teammate with 'streaming context' across Slack, GitHub, Linear, meetings and email, with design partners including Ramp, Shopify, Legora, Lovable and Spotify, and explains how it spread inside companies through multiplayer Slack usage. They also cover grinding through weak early model capabilities, human-in-the-loop trust, horizontal versus vertical GTM, and how a jam session with General Catalyst turned into a ~$4.2M seed round.
