fal's Co-Founder Gorkem shares the story behind their decision to build a dedicated sales team. Initially, Gorkem and his co-founder Burkay managed all sales efforts themselves. Gorkem still likes the idea of technical founders selling a technical product, highlighting how it allowed them to address developers' needs effectively and explain the product in-depth. However, after receiving feedback from investors, they realized that relying solely on the founders for sales meant missing out on countless untapped opportunities. Now, they are focused on building a sales team to seize every opportunity and reach potential customers they haven’t yet connected with, accelerating their growth journey.
