Karyn Scott shared thisIt takes a special human to not only survive the challenges of living as a refugee, but to thrive….and earn a degree…yearn for a better life. Consider a tax deductible donation tomorrow (or any time, really) to help a refugee student get the coaching and mentorship required to land a job. Better yet, sign up to mentor one of these special students. $300. Change a life. Just do it.Karyn Scott shared this🌍 Tomorrow is Global Giving Day and we’re raising funds to give 100 refugee graduates their first #mentor. Every year, millions of #refugee graduates earn degrees against impossible odds. But when they enter the job market, they hit a wall: They have the credentials. They don’t have the connections. On July 15, you can help change that. Your gift funds a 10‑week, one‑to‑one virtual mentorship for a refugee graduate navigating the transition from education to employment. $300 sponsors one mentorship. Plus, Global Giving matches a percentage of every donation made on that day, further amplifying donor impact. 💙 Join us tomorrow and help open doors no refugee graduate can open alone. https://lnkd.in/gUMTAah6

Karyn Scott shared thisIt's graduation season! And starting your career can feel overwhelming—especially if you don’t have access to guidance, professional networks, or clear direction. That’s why the Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) created a free Career Planning Guide: to help those just starting their careers to navigate a path, build essential skills, and take action. Have a look. And maybe join us as a mentor? https://lnkd.in/gvYTpar3

Karyn Scott shared thisCould not be more proud of maximus greenwald Alan Zhao and the entire team! It’s been an honor to support your epic journey literally from the beginning! This partnership will enable so many businesses to benefit from the insights Warmly, delivers. Mazel tov!!Karyn Scott shared thisBig news: HubSpot (NYSE: HUBS) is acquiring Warmly,. Well that feels surreal to write. Today, I feel just as excited as 7 years ago when I was starting up! Back then, I was giddy. Just a guy with an idea & a few cofounders hoping to change the world of GTM forever. And then reality struck - building a company was hard! Every day we learned a little more, failed a little less and 6 pivots later advances in LLMs finally unlocked the product we’d been trying to build. In 2023 we took years of battle scars building our own GTM & put everything we had into building AI Agents that would modernize how marketing & sales teams worked together. Enter HubSpot. In 2023 we built our first integration. (It was HubSpot) In 2024 we had 20 customers integrated with HubSpot In 2025 we had 100 customers integrated with HubSpot In 2026 we now have 223 paying customers integrated with HubSpot! As Warmly has grown, HubSpot has always been there for us. - As Warmly’s AI Agents started booking meetings for customers, HubSpot’s Data Hub was a key source. - As Warmly’s Inbound Agent enticed & de-anonymized website visitors, HubSpot’s Smart CRM was where we stored chat transcripts. - As Warmly’s TAM Agent created differentiated fresh lead lists, HubSpot’s dashboards showed GTM Execs how much pipeline we got them. And today, we’re joining forces to build the future of AI-native GTM and help our customers grow their business with both Warmth and HEART (if you know, you know). So what happens next? 1/ To our customers: this is just the beginning. Thank you for taking a bet on us and making us into the business we are today. Stay tuned for more epic releases coming soon. 2/ To our Warmsters past and present: Every feature shipped, every customer won, every late night, every hard conversation, this company exists because you always exhibited our core value to always Add A Comma, in everything you do. 3/ To my cofounders new and old: Alan, Carina, Keegan, Ryan, Val. You’re my best friends, the reason I can tackle every curveball that was thrown our way. We’ve climbed mountains and persevered. Thank you. 4/ To our new teammates: Angela, Richa, Jared, Duncan, Yamini Rangan we are stepping on the shoulders of giants. Can’t wait to build amazing AI-native solutions to 10x our customers! 5/ To me: 7 years ago you would have never believed you’d be here today, be proud. I only hope for you that, 7 years from now, you will continue to surprise yourself on what you can accomplish. Signing off as we always have, but this time with more excitement than ever. Warmly, Max Ps. A few additional thank yous: 1/ Our board: James (NFX), Aydin (Felicis), Ned, Tom (RTP Global) 2/ Our first believers: Natty, Elizabeth, Hunter Walk, Erik Torenberg, Chris 3/ X Factor players: David, Mark, Brad, Rachel, Chloe Belle, Harry Stebbings And of course, Alyssa & Brandon

Karyn Scott shared thisBest use of Claude to identify high intent buyers. And usage based pricing? Genius! Check it out! And congrats to maximus greenwald Alan Zhao and the epic team Warmly, you continue to raise the bar!Karyn Scott shared thisNow you can use Claude to identify 95% of your person-level website visitors who did not sign up! Today, we're launching Warmly's MCP server and API and you are getting free access Here is our launch offer: You can connect Warmly to your Claude, ask it to find leads visiting your high-intent pages, and ask follow-up questions to build a list of visitors who are ready to buy. Try it completely free, and you can keep your credit card in your pocket because we don’t need it. What this unlocks: Ask Claude "show me ICP visitors who hit pricing today" and we'll get it for you, ready to send into your outreach and newsletter platforms like Outreach, Customer.io, Instantly.ai Add the API to Claude Code or Codex to build GTM apps on top of your website de-anon data. Data is the new electricity for GTM agents and we want to give you the best data, removing every layer of friction for you to access and leverage it. You can start for free, and it’s usage based pricing afterwards. We're starting with giving access to our web de-anon, but be on the lookout for when we do the same for our 3rd party signals and contact/company data We aren’t gating the MCP behind an enterprise pricing package. We want everyone to have access to 1st class signals data at an affordable price that scales with you today and tomorrow. Go and give our API/MCP server a try, if you like it, you keep it, if you don’t it you only wasted 5 mins of your time.

Karyn Scott shared thisWe’ve expanded our charter of helping students in underserved communities to launch their careers to now include those in refugee camps. I’ve never been more honored and proud to support this org. Join us! We need mentors! Ping me to learn how to get started.Karyn Scott shared thisWe’re honored to be selected by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency as its mentorship partner. Together, we'll connect displaced learners around the world with a career champion and structured guidance as they secure dignified work. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding opportunity for displaced learners around the world. At Global Mentorship Initiative, our program is built to support refugee and historically underrepresented students as they take their next steps toward meaningful careers.

GMI’s structured, one‑to‑one mentorship provides: - Career‑ready skills that help students navigate interviews, networking, and workplace expectations - A trusted professional ally who offers guidance, encouragement, and real‑world insight - A pathway to economic mobility, helping students secure dignified work and long‑term stability Together with UNHCR, we’re connecting more displaced learners with the support they deserve, and with mentors who believe in their potential. We’re grateful for this partnership and energized by the impact we can create together. #careerpathways #mentorship #refugee #refugeesupport

Karyn Scott shared thisIf you care about pipeline acceleration, check out the new TAM agent from the amazing team at Warmly, oh and you can’t beat their crazy offer of free credits, free consultation, and building your first dynamic audience for you + free follow ups afterwards.Karyn Scott shared thisAI is crazy now... I met a CRO at a series B company who gave Claude Code access to his CRM, intent tools, and sales calls and it one shotted an agent harness that automated his GTM. None of this happened btw. But it won't stop people from trying it on their own. Here are some of the walls you'll hit: Millions of signals hit your GTM stack every day. That's not going to all fit in the agent's context window. You need pre-compaction, boiling it down to what matters before the agent ever touches it. Also, this has to happen in real-time. Not a scheduled job. Pipeline doesn't wait for your cron job to finish. Then you need to do entity resolution to understand if different signals are applied to say 3 different people or they're all actually the same person. Then signal validation. Half your "website visitors" are bots, the other half are real but not the right person. Does the agent know that? No. Then enrichment. One data vendor gives you 60% coverage. But it goes stale every 3 months. You don't know when and for who. Neither does the agent. So you pile on 5 more vendors to waterfall data until you hit 95% coverage. Then CRM integration. Deal stages, activity history, ownership, last contacted. You run out of API calls to your CRM regularly now. And somehow you still can't filter out deals and customers. After all of that you still just have a list of companies. Not a pipeline. A list. And you just burned a week and a bunch of tokens getting there. Most teams will learn this the hard way. We spent 2 years building the actual infrastructure so you don't have to endure this pain. We call it our TAM Agent and it: - Aggregates all the activity and signals you need to map your TAM - Does the entity and identity resolution - Creates the full context graph of your TAM - Enriches email, linkedin and phone - Real-time updates - Doesn't break because you accidentally updated a prompt somewhere In the new AI world. Outcomes or it doesn't count. For us that's: - 10 tools we paid for became 2 tools (Warmly and Claude Code) to build a good list - LinkedIn Ad CTR 4x'd. CPC down 50% - Mass outbounding used to be 0.1% conversion. Now with full context, our outbound conversions is 3-10% depending on the play (yes automated). Two ways to get started: Comment "TAM" and I'll send you our guide on context graphs and building GTM agent harnesses so you can try on your own. Or go book a meeting on our site, and write "Give me that TAM" in the "How did you hear about us" field. We'll give you free credits, free consultation, and just build your first dynamic audience for you + give you the follow ups afterwards.

Karyn Scott liked thisKaryn Scott liked thisI’ve officially joined SpaceX AI! I first started talking with Michael T., Jordan Topoleski, and Brian McCarthy, at Cursor and was blown away by the product and the team. I was hired as Cursor’s CMO. Then on my first official day, the SpaceX acquisition closed. Something that already felt special has now gained the most inspiring mission on Earth (and beyond), massive consumer reach, and a huge advantage in compute. Both companies move at a pace that’s hard to understand until you’re inside. I’m wrapping up week one, and we’re already off to the races. This is a wild time in AI. I’m excited to dig in, learn, and help shape what’s next.

Karyn Scott liked thisKaryn Scott liked thisNext chapter, let's go. I've joined Nebius as Chief Marketing Officer. Whenever I take on something new, I start in the same place: getting clear on what I want most out of the next chapter. This time, I knew exactly: → I want to be at the center of AI, learning and leading. Not just building with AI, actually living it, day to day. → I want to build at scale, in a position to reach, learn from, and serve builders everywhere. → And I want to do it with a bad-ass team of experienced, hungry, humble execution machines. Nebius is all three. Every company is deciding how it will build with AI, and the cloud they choose determines what they can create. Nebius has what marketers rarely get: a platform engineered in-house with exceptional technical talent, customers doing their most ambitious AI work on it, and a business that's compounding at a pace few ever experience. At global scale. In a category still being written. Big thanks Marc Boroditsky Roman Chernin Arkady Volozh and many others for welcoming me to the team. And to my community of former colleagues, friends, and mentors... *thanks* for all your support, always, and continuing to teach me so much. Ready to build. 🚀
