SmartCue is a B2B SaaS tool that functions as a contextual teleprompter for sales teams conducting product demos on Zoom calls. The software surfaces real-time, personalized cues to help sales representatives deliver tailored demos rather than generic, cookie-cutter presentations. The company was founded and is led by Robin Singhvi, who wrote the first line of code on January 26, 2021, and began selling the product in September 2021.
As of the October 2021 interview, SmartCue had six paying customers across the United States and Europe, generating roughly $900 per month in revenue approximately one month after its commercial launch. Singhvi operates as a solo founder, supported by a four-person development team based in Bangalore, India, at a cost of approximately $1,000 per month. He owns roughly 95% of the company following an amicable separation from a former co-founder who retained a single-digit equity stake.
Singhvi was in early discussions to raise $2,000,000 at a $10,000,000 pre-money valuation to fund customer acquisition and team growth, including hiring a technical co-founder and a growth marketer. The company had invested approximately $8,000 of its own capital to reach its minimum viable product stage.
