About Artisan
At Artisan, were building real AI employees - not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time - just like a human would.
We went through Y Combinator (W24) and have raised $35M+ from top investors. Were at $7M+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including CookUnity, Quora, and SumUp.
Were currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And were hiring.
