ElevenLabs' Growth Playbook from 0→$500M ARR with Carles Reina, VP of Revenue • Surge & Peak XV
Introducing Surge Unfireside by Peak XV, where operators building the growth playbooks of world's fastest-growing AI companies join us to share the tactics, mistakes and lessons from the trenches. It's NOT a fireside - you hear their playbooks and get to brainstorm your thinking directly.
For our first one, we have Carles Reina, VP of Revenue at ElevenLabs joining us to share how he built the growth engine from zero to $500M in ARR:
Building AI GTM when there's no playbook - How he built the engine as the first GTM hire, with no processes set in
The 20x quota model - Over 80% of reps hit the 20x quota model. How did this structure come about and become a success?
Consumer → enterprise in 18 months: Started 100% consumer, now 50% enterprise. What changed: pricing, team structure, sales process, partnerships.
The new outbound playbook: How ElevenLabs went from 5% outbound to 46% of pipeline using human SDRs with custom AI tooling
Cracking partnerships: How to close Google Cloud, IBM Watson, Adobe when you're a 20-person company (revenue-share structures, what you give, what you get)
What failed: Bets that didn't work and what he'd do differently.
This will be followed by an open discussion with the group to have time to discuss their top sales and growth questions with Carles.
🚨 Curation: This is primarily for founders and growth leaders. We're keeping these small-group for high-impact discussion— we'll add you to the mailing list if you miss out this one and send the link for upcoming ones.
