Sakana AI shipped 7 products in a year, now scaling enterprise GTM hiring
hardmaru · x · 2026-09-17
Sakana AI co-founder David Ha says the Tokyo research lab shipped more products than expected this year: Sakana Chat, Namazu, Sakana Translate, Sakana Marlin, Fugu, Fugu Cyber, and Fugu Max — building a product team from zero.
The next inflection point is deploying to enterprises, manufacturers, financial institutions, and government agencies in Japan and abroad, so Sakana is massively expanding its GTM team with two key roles: a Product Sales & Account Executive to build an enterprise sales motion from scratch, and a Forward Deployed Engineer (GTM).
