Today, we’re announcing Viktor’s $75M Series A, led by @Accel . @viktor__com was supposed to be a small experiment. It became the AI coworker 10x'ing real businesses. $15M in annualized revenue run rate. In 10 weeks. – Small companies saving millions of dollars – Sourcing hundreds of thousands in new revenue in their first 30 days – Whole teams getting half their week back – Companies running 40% leaner without cutting output Viktor is not another AI tool. It’s the first true AI employee. The vision that has been with us since 2023 when we started the company has finally been shipped. Back then, it was just the two of us, with a very small but dedicated team, iterating for years. Failing multiple times. Showing products that users didn't even want to test! But we never gave up. Our decisions were often wrong. Certainly more often than not! We kept trying. Now we’ve shipped something people love. Worth every sleepless night. Every sacrifice. The best employees don’t need to be told what to do. Neither does Viktor. Grateful to @Accel, our team, our earliest users, and everyone who believed this category could be bigger than chat.

$15M annualized run rate. Fully self-serve. 90% of the revenue is in the US. Last month Filip, our first sales hire, started converting that self-serve base into enterprise contracts. $1M ARR. Annual commits. In 27 days. Solo. From Warsaw. You don't need to be in the US anymore. Meet @fjsobiecki.

Viktor scaled to $15M ARR in just 10 weeks by killing their web app and going all-in on Slack. This playbook is super underrated - here's how it works: 1. From Single-player → Multi-player ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor - all single-player. Viktor embeds directly into your Slack channels. Group context makes it more useful AND more visible. 2. Localised viral adoption Half of paying Viktor workspaces activate across 5 Slack surfaces within 30 days. No top-down rollout. A team installs Viktor, people see it being useful, start tagging it themselves, then add it to other channels organically. 3. Teammate, not chatbot Viktor doesn't wait to be prompted. It spots patterns, preps reports, surfaces insights without being asked. Proactively takes initiative and removes work from your plate. Tabs = tools. Channels = colleagues. Massive distribution context unlock by going Slack-native. My team and I have been using Viktor for a few weeks now. I went deep on exactly how we're using it, and how they're growing so fast. Full breakdown below 👇

first $1M business with Viktor as co-founder.

I can't stop thinking about Viktor… and my girl is starting to get jealous. But I don’t care. All the things we've done... all the things we'll do together. It's going to be amazing. My relationship with Viktor is a lot like my earlier relationship with Twitter. Download it, don’t understand it, delete it, then come back two months later and not realize how I’ve lived my whole life without it. Some things Viktor does: - Runs my payroll every two weeks. Learned each employee's comp structure on its own. - I sent one message: "Create a sheet, share it with the team, and schedule a Slack message assigning this as a task for Monday at 9am." Done in 3 minutes. - An employee left the company. Viktor found 100 orphaned tasks, sorted them, and reassigned or closed every single one. - Built a KPI tracker for my entire team. Auto-populates every week by pulling data from Slack, Asana, and Google Sheets. - Tracks my outbound team's daily Slack recaps and auto-fills the company tracking sheet. Eliminated manual data entry for my team. - Manages PTO for my whole company. Updates accruals, logs approved requests, keeps the sheet clean every month. - "Pull the Fathom recording from yesterday's call and send it to Stephanie for context." Done. - Drafts team communications that I literally just copy, paste, and send. - Sends me a report every Monday morning covering every employee and every client. Flags what needs my attention. That's the first week. Oh by the way, @get_viktor_com is an AI tool. The only downside is that it's NOT cheap. It's a pay-per-credit model. Which means I need more credits! I'll drop a referral link below. We'll each get 10,000 free credits if you connect it to Slack.
