Join us for an in-depth conversation with Nati Solomon Fett and Colin Guest, the cofounders of Syrenn, a Madison-based AI-powered sales training platform that's revolutionizing how sales teams practice high-stakes conversations.
In this episode, we explore Syrenn's unique approach to sales training - moving beyond traditional role-playing to create AI-powered scenarios that actually help sales reps improve their conversational skills. Both Nati and Colin bring strong technical backgrounds to this challenge, and their journey from multiple pivots to finding product-market fit offers valuable lessons for any entrepreneur.
We dive deep into their hands-on customer discovery process, including walking into gyms and car dealerships to understand how sales training really works. You'll hear about their experience in the Madworks Accelerator Program, their thoughts on building with AI coding tools like Cursor, and what they've learned about Madison's tight-knit startup ecosystem.
