FirstQuadrant Launches: Maximize B2B Sales with Human-Centered AI
FirstQuadrant recently launched!
"Sales AI Platform that helps founders and revenue teams move faster, stay organized, and close more deals, by streamlining the behind-the-scenes work so nothing ever slips through the cracks."
Founded by Carlo Badini & Anand Chowdhary
Hey everyone, meet Carlo & Anand. Today they’re making FirstQuadrant available for the public! This one’s been a long time in the making.
Carlo and Anand started working on this over 2.5 years ago (before ChatGPT was even released). And in Carlo's words, "It took a lot of fucking around and finding out." They spoke to over 300+ founders and heads of sales, rebuilt the product from scratch multiple times, and only after countless conversations did it finally click.
So the founders are excited (and a bit nervous) to finally release FirstQuadrant to the public: An AI sales execution platform that helps founders and revenue teams move faster, stay organized, and close more deals, by streamlining the behind-the-scenes sales-work so nothing ever slips through the cracks.
About The Founders
Anand (CTO/CPO, pictured left above) is a technology entrepreneur, engineer, and designer. Previously, he founded the accessibility tech startup Oswald Labs and the fashion e-commerce company Melangebox at the age of 18. He has been recognized as a top open-source contributor, listed as a GitHub Star, and included in Forbes' 30 Under 30.
Carlo (CEO, pictured right above) is a Swiss-born serial entrepreneur. Before founding FirstQuadrant, he established a Swiss design agency at the age of 20 and bootstrapped it to over 40 employees and multiple millions in revenue. He has been recognized by the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award and listed in Forbes' 30 Under 30.
The Problem
If you’ve ever looked inside a CRM, you know how chaotic things can get. Deals are scattered, updates are missed, and there’s always this underlying anxiety: “Did I forget to follow up?” “Am I waiting on someone to respond?” “Did I send the right documents?”
Most sales reps are great at conversations and closing — but not at the repetitive, behind-the-scenes tasks before and after meetings. That’s where deals fall through the cracks.
The Solution
FirstQuadrant solves these exact problems. The platform analyzes all your sales conversations and uses advanced AI reasoning to understand where each deal stands and what should happen next.

It automatically manages tasks like:
- Following up with leads.
- Rescheduling missed meetings.
- Qualifying new inbound leads.
- Staying in touch with old or inactive contacts.
- Sending resources or summaries post-call.
All of this is handled in the background, giving your sales team the mental space to focus on what really matters: selling, meeting with customers, and building relationships.
As a result, your deals move faster, your pipeline gets cleaner, and your reps aren’t constantly playing catch-up.
They don’t have to keep everything in their heads anymore. FirstQuadrant tracks it all and nudges them at just the right moments.
And beyond just managing active deals, it also helps uncover hidden revenue by reactivating older, inactive business relationships (the ones reps never quite get around to following up with). And on the top-of-funnel side, it qualifies new leads that come in, lets you build custom-qualified audiences, and even runs AI-personalized outbound email campaigns at scale. So you’re filling your pipeline with high-quality leads and keeping everything organized and moving forward — all in one place.
