They are such a stellar team. That's what I've repeatedly heard from other people. Sad to hear this news and I’m sure they’ll go on to do something else that’s great

These Sales CRM sprinkle AI on top of it with no sales cycles established and get 2-3 logos for namesake eventually go down the same road.

Yeah, sales intelligence platforms are nothing but plug and play CRMs . I had interviewed with Rohit Kapoor for a PM role when they had just started out.

Sounds weird. A very similar startup called "Clay" raised 62M this year.

Here's what I found: Clay has raised a $46M Series B at a $500M valuation from Meritech Capital with participation from Sequoia, First Round, Box Group, Boldstart, and some of the world’s top sales and marketing leaders to power growth for tech’s biggest names like Anthropic, Intercom, Notion and 2500+ others. This is in addition to our previously unannounced $13.5M Series A, led by Sequoia, $2.5M seed led by First Round, and pre-seed from Box Group.

The team was fantastic. One of the founding members was my ex-manager. Great folks! Sad to see this.

Interesting news. I saw the founders in Razorpay's office yesterday and figured maybe an acquisition is on the cards. Now this is unexpected.

Toplyne, the start-up which gained popularity for its unusual ways of engaging customers and growing sales revenue has now declared that Toplyne shut down its operations. The company has now apparently closed and is handing the money back to its investors, it said in an update on communications from what then called a "portfolio accelerator of BioLife Solutions," implying that no new capital was taken.

The decision to return money demonstrates the company's dedication to transparency and accountability, even during a formidably tough decade. The Anti-Airbnb style service is shutting down and as employees look for new opportunities, investors re-evaluate portfolios in the typical nature of a startup. This goes to show the challenges that a start-up faces, and the unpredictability in tech land. Toplyne will be remembered for its futuristic and innovative features but due to various production reasons, it had to close down its operation back then.

Toplyne shutting down is surprising, given its strong backing from Peak XV and Tiger Global. The company, which had raised $17.5 million and was valued at around $75 million, made the sudden decision to return cash to investors. This move raises questions about its long-term sustainability, despite initial momentum. Toplyne’s model of helping companies grow revenue from existing customers seemed promising, but it looks like operational challenges might have surfaced. When "Toplyne shuts down," it highlights the unpredictable nature of even well-funded startups.
