Denominator

Customer success, pre-sales & AI, for startups

More revenue on top. Less overhead underneath.

Denominator helps growing software companies win and keep more customers, and put AI tools to work so their teams get more done. We bring fractional customer success and sales engineering leadership, custom AI skills, and vetted offshore CSMs who work US hours.

Put AI to work

Most teams have AI tools. Few use them well.

Licenses alone don't change how work gets done. We find the repetitive work in your customer and sales process, then build Claude skills and other AI tools that handle it inside the systems you already use. Your team gets hours back every week, and the work comes out the same way every time.

  • Build a custom, clickable demo for every prospect
  • Build a success plan for each new customer and chase overdue tasks
  • Draft customer updates from your CRM and support tickets
  • Prep an account health brief before every renewal
  • Run practice calls and score real call recordings

Featured AI use case

A custom demo for every prospect, in minutes

We capture your product's real screens and package them into a skill your sellers install. A rep pastes in their discovery notes and gets a clickable demo built around that prospect's problems, plus a presenter script that follows your demo playbook. Every rep can demo like your best rep.

Paste discovery notes

The rep drops in call notes or a transcript. No forms to fill out.

Get a clickable demo

A prospect-specific walkthrough built from your actual product screens, in the order that tells their story.

Present with a script

A talk track tied to the prospect's own pain points, ready to rehearse.

Refine on feedback

Tell it what to change and it rebuilds the demo and script in minutes.
