Listen Labs is joining Salesforce

Listen Labs is joining Salesforce.

In January 2023, Florian and I moved into a San Francisco Hacker House.

We’d just built an app that went viral and picked up 20,000 users overnight. We had no idea who they were. So over a hackathon, we built an AI that could interview them.

That hackathon project became bigger than any of us could have imagined.

In April 2025, we launched Listen and it’s been a crazy ride ever since. Today, we work with some of the largest companies in the world, including Microsoft, Anthropic, and Sweetgreen.

What started as an AI interviewer is now a full platform for understanding customers. Listen finds the right people, interviews them, analyzes what they say, and even simulates how they’ll behave.

Listen’s growth quickly accelerated and while we were raising our next round, we met Marc Benioff.

Marc is a hero of mine. I’ve taken countless ideas from Behind the Cloud and the more time we spent with him and the team, the more obvious the fit became.

With Salesforce, we can bring Listen to every company in the world, much faster.

To our customers, our mission remains the same. I stay CEO, Florian stays CTO and the same team will keep building the product you rely on, now inside Salesforce AI Labs. Thank you for believing in us early.

To our team, you joined a company almost no one had heard of and stayed late with us more nights than we can count. To our families, who watched us move across an ocean for a dream, and to the friends and investors who supported us before there was much to believe in, thank you.

These years have been the most fun years of my life, and it’s still only just the beginning for Listen.

Now back to work.
