Pouyan Salehi Learned Startups Behind a Pizza Counter. Now He Is Teaching Sales Software to Remember.

Before the MBA, Apple and four startups, there was a struggling Domino’s franchise in Minnesota. The lessons from that counter still shape Salehi’s campaign against busywork - and his new bet on giving AI the context it lacks.

Scratchpad

Scratchpad is an AI workspace for sales that sits between reps and Salesforce, automating CRM updates, transcribing calls, monitoring data hygiene, and enforcing sales methodologies so sellers spend less time on admin and more time closing. Founded in 2019 by repeat founders Pouyan Salehi and Cyrus Karbassiyoon, the company has raised roughly $49.6M, including a $33M Series B led by Craft Ventures, and is used by thousands of revenue teams at companies like Brex, Vercel, Clio and Crunchbase.
