About Default
Default is building the unified app and data layer for revenue teams, starting by vertically integrating the historically-fragmented revenue stack with a set of AI-native apps like agentic workflows, landing pages, scheduling, and much more.
Today, Default is used by thousands of users at hundreds of fast-growing companies like Perplexity, Replit, Justworks, Hex, Rogo, Bland, and many more. We are backed by firms like Craft Ventures, 8VC, Alt Capital, and BoxGroup as well as the angel investors who led product & revenue teams at companies like Notion, Airtable, Ramp, Figma, and many more.
Default is a compound startup. If youβre not familiar with this terminology, compound startups are big, ambitious bets on opportunities that span multiple point-solutions and business processes. Compound startups aim to solve the entire problem as opposed to just one piece of it. This is obviously a much harder kind of company to build, but if you do it right youβll see all kinds of advantages emerge across both product, distribution, and culture.
Being a multi-product vendor also means customers will always find new ways to use your product, unlocking new use cases and product expansion opportunities for you as you build. At Default, customers typically start by using us to automate their complex inbound lead workflows with our scheduling, routing, and workflow apps alongside third-party enrichment data they can purchase through Default, and AI agents they can configure natively.
Our team and business are growing fast; we just moved into our third office in a year in Flatiron, and have grown revenue 5X since the start of 2025. We have several years of runway, tens of millions in funding, and are grateful to serve hundreds of customers, from small startups to emerging enterprises.
About Our Team
We are deep believers in fostering a strong, unique culture of building. This is core to how the company was founded: our founders spent years building everything from robots and race cars to parking software and bitcoin mining rigs before dropping out of college to start Default. We believe everyone at Default should be a builder. In fact, our team is comprised of many of the key early employees who helped build companies like Gong, Stripe, Clearbit, Copy AI, and Sprig. Many of these same people are also ex-founders, professional DJs, photographers, ex-Olympic athletes, and musicians.
Building at Default doesnβt just mean building the company: it also means building yourself. We look for people who can excel in their role, but who also strive to reinvent themselves and who can grow to take on new challenges theyβre well-suited to lead. We promote a lot internally, and try to always leave room for evolution and reinvention.
