  • From Quant Genius to Million Dollar Founder: Andrew Teaches Nosible AI’s Founder How to Scale
    2025/05/27
    In this episode of ⁠Funded, Now What?!, ⁠Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Stuart Reid, the high-IQ, ultra-technical Founder & CEO of Nosible AI — a revolutionary new search engine built specifically for AI agents. Stuart’s background is pure quant brilliance — think hedge funds, deep infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI innovation. But like many technical founders building next-gen tools, Stuart faces a critical question: “Now that I’ve built it…and it got funded, now what?!?” That’s where Andrew steps in. This episode is a masterclass in translating complex tech into customer traction. Andrew helps Stuart step outside of his engineering mindset and into a growth-first approach — teaching him how to: ✅ Build irresistible case studies that open doors ✅ Speak differently to quant funds vs. AI devs vs. media companies ✅ Use scrappy PR and outreach tactics to spark early adoption ✅ Rethink the website as a conversion engine, not just a brochure ✅ Treat marketing like product: test, learn, refine Plus, Stuart shares how he raised capital for Nosible, what makes their AI-native search so different from Google, and how he’s navigating the startup world from his home base in South Africa. "If your genius is stuck in your head or your pitch deck, it’s not going to scale. Let’s fix that." – Andrew If you're a highly technical founder who needs a reality check on growth — or a marketer trying to help one — this is your episode. 🔗 ⁠Nosible AI Website⁠ 🔗 ⁠Nosible AI on LinkedIn⁠ 00:00 – Meet Stuart: Quant Background + AI Vision 02:59 – What Nosible Actually Solves 06:04 – Early Markets: Quants, Media, AI Devs 09:00 – Raising Capital & Investor Feedback 11:58 – South Africa vs. US Startup Realities 14:46 – Stuart Gets a Marketing Crash Course from Andrew 22:26 – Creating Case Studies that Actually Convert 25:32 – Segmented Messaging for Different Audiences 29:15 – The Right Way to Do PR When You’re Pre-Product 34:56 – Why Website Optimization is Step One 40:54 – Networking and Finding Early Adopters 44:36 – Budgeting a Smart Marketing Launch 49:46 – Competing with Giants: Positioning Against Google About the show:Funded, Now What?! is the ultimate startup podcast for founders, entrepreneurs, and growth-focused leaders.

  • You Can’t Sell to SMBs and Enterprise the Same Way” — Andrew’s Scalable Sales Advice for Hey Libby AI
    2025/05/19
    In this episode, Andrew Lee Miller shares a critical post-funding sales strategy with Tony Small, CEO of Hey Libby, that could dramatically accelerate their growth — segmentation by customer size. “You’ve got to separate your prospects into two buckets — big multi-location chains and solo operators — because the messaging, outreach, and sales motion should be completely different.” Andrew explains how trying to sell to gyms, spas, and wellness centers all with one strategy can stall momentum. Instead, he suggests a two-pronged outreach engine: ✅ For SMBs: Go direct with high-volume cold outreach — short emails, strong social proof, and a “click here to try it now” CTA. ✅ For Larger Chains: Target decision-makers with personalized outreach, consultative sales, and ROI-driven case studies. Use warm intros and partner channels wherever possible. “Small businesses want instant solutions. Enterprises want risk mitigation. Speak their language — and your close rate skyrockets.” 🔥 If you’re post-funding and looking to scale sales without burning your runway, this is one clip you need to hear. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: Funded, Now What?! — Episode 27 with Tony Small of Hey Libby 🔗 Hey Libby on LinkedIn Growthexpertz.com Learn more about your ad choices.
