Interview with CTO of #1 YC Company

I interviewed Arkadiy Telegin, CTO of Leaping AI (YC W25), and asked him about their best customer outcome so far. He shared a fascinating case study of a heavily operations-driven company using Leaping AI's Voice AI agents to scale LeadQual and outbound operations.

The Results: Before vs After

Before Leaping AI

• Human SDRs made ~1,500 outbound calls per week
• Yielded ~375 qualified leads (25% close rate)

After Leaping AI Voice Agents

• AI Agents made ~7,000 calls per week
• Yielded ~1,300 qualified leads (19% close rate)

Key Takeaways

• 4x more qualified leads
• 4.6x the volume
• While humans still maintain a slightly higher close rate, the AI agents' output is on a completely different scale

Continuous Improvement

The AI agents demonstrate remarkable capabilities:

• Learn from every call
• Adapt quickly
• Operate 24/7 without fatigue
• No sick days or breaks needed
