In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, host Tom Hunt sits down with Arto Minasyan, co-founder of Krisp, to explore the journey of building a deep tech company from the ground up. Arto shares how he went from a PhD in mathematics to a tech entrepreneur and the pivotal moment a random idea for noise cancellation led to a viral product. He provides invaluable insights on how a business can succeed after past failures and navigate the challenges of pivoting from a single-feature company to a multi-product powerhouse. Arto also discusses his hands-on leadership style, the strategic benefits of their dual-location team in Silicon Valley and Armenia, and why external funding isn't always the primary goal of a business. Finally, he offers his predictions on the revolutionary future of voice AI.
