AI-powered outbound sales platform consolidating B2B data, email automation, and deliverability tools
Artisan is building a unified platform for outbound sales anchored around Ava, an AI business development representative that handles lead discovery, research, strategy selection, and personalized outbound sequencing. The stack—Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Airflow, dbt, and orchestration across AWS/GCP/Azure—reflects a data-heavy, real-time operation: the engineering org is tasked with scaling high-throughput AI request handling and backend systems for AI employees while managing 300M+ B2B contact datasets and feature stores. Active projects reveal a company in rapid iteration (Ava 2.0, Artisan 2.0 unified GTM platform, real-time intent signals, growth loops) against a clear pain: replacing fragmented legacy sales stacks with consolidated software.
Artisan consolidates outbound sales into a single platform: B2B prospecting data, AI-driven lead research, email sequence generation with personalization, and deliverability optimization (warmup, placement testing). The core product is Ava, an AI sales agent that automates the full outbound workflow—discovery, research, strategy, and send—drawing on over 300M B2B contacts and tens of data sources. The company is headquartered in San Francisco with engineering, product, marketing, sales, support, and customer success operations. Hiring extends across the US, South Africa, France, and Germany. Artisan targets mid-market and enterprise sales teams replacing point-solution stacks with an integrated alternative.
Artisan's backend runs on Python, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Data pipelines use Apache Airflow and dbt. Infrastructure spans AWS (ECS, Fargate), GCP, and Azure. Frontend uses Figma for design. Social/data integrations include LinkedIn and X.
Active projects include Ava 2.0 (next iteration of the AI BDR), a unified GTM platform (Artisan 2.0), real-time intent signals for lead prioritization, feature stores for model training, scalable data pipelines, and growth loops to reach $25M ARR.
