Sales Engagement Software
Whippy is a bootstrapped AI and automation platform founded in 2020 by David Daneshgar and Jack Kennedy. The company helps businesses automate communications across text, email, and voice channels, integrating with existing CRMs to run outbound and inbound workflows. Its early customer base included lawyers, dentists, pharmacies, and insurance companies, and it has since expanded toward enterprise accounts paying more than $100,000 per year. Whippy reached approximately $4 million in annualized revenue by early 2024, doubling from $2 million the prior year and roughly quadrupling from $1 million the year before that. The company has approximately 600 customers paying an average of $600 per month and has raised no outside capital. David Daneshgar told Nathan Latka in March 2024 that the company targets $10 million in ARR within 24 months, with growth of 70 to 75 percent in 2024 and approximately 50 percent in 2025. Daneshgar previously co-founded BloomNation in 2013, a marketplace for local florists that raised approximately $20 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, and Ronnie Conway. He departed BloomNation in 2020, at which point the three co-founders collectively owned less than 50 percent of the company. Before his entrepreneurial career, Daneshgar was a professional poker player who won the World Series of Poker in 2008 and earned approximately $2.4 million from poker by 2011.
