Meet Origami

Our Story

Kenson and I met at a hackathon in the US before either of us had really started college. For the next four years, we worked side by side on separate startups, but kept gravitating back to building in go-to-market.

I joined the team at Fizz after founders Teddy Solomon and Ashton Cofer launched it from their dorm room at Stanford in 2021, raising $40m over the next two years, as they built the largest social network platform for Gen Z.

Meanwhile, Kenson started as an engineer at an enterprise sales startup in London, before becoming CTO and leading the engineering team to serve enterprises across Europe.

We both saw the challenges GTM teams faced every day, particularly when it came to outbound. Teams would spend all day manually prospecting to break through the noise, or fail with ineffective mass automation.

But everything changed with the rise of AI agents.

We designed and built intelligent systems that could browse the web all day doing research and finding the perfect leads, trained on the best-performing sales reps at the companies we had worked with.

A week before our school terms started, we decided to go all in. I left my Master's program at Stanford, and Kenson dropped out of his second year at UCL.

Our mission was clear: build AI research agents sophisticated enough to work as true team members.

Within days, we joined Y Combinator and built agents designed to learn and work like real teammates.

Three weeks later, we launched our beta. Our earliest three customers TouchSuite, Loop, and Stellar all became investors after seeing our agents in action.

In just 50 days after launch, we hit $50k MRR, becoming our YC F24 batch's fastest-growing company — using our own agents to scale.
