RajaswaPatil, an early HyphenateAI team member, recounts building the company's first NYC presence from scratch: flying in from India 13 months ago, losing his luggage, and starting in a WeWork with just one intern. Key facts:
- The team has outgrown two office spaces and now spans Engineering and GTM
- This summer's intern cohort was strong, with many staying on to own bigger pieces
- Revenue grew 87x over the period
- The team recently took a photo under the HyphenateAI logo on the Nasdaq tower
His insider takeaway: team size and steadily rising quality are another way to see the growth beyond the headline revenue number.
