The people who pick well usually pick quietly, so it is worth noticing when one of them goes back to operating.
Robbie O'Connor took Dropbox, Asana and Notion to market over the last decade. Then he spent a year on the investor side, working with European VCs and their portfolio companies, looking at the whole AI space from above. Fryd announced today that he is joining Viktor as CRO.
His filter has been right three times now: before a winning product has a category, customers already talk about it like it matters to them personally. He says Viktor is the fourth time he has seen that pattern.
That pattern showed up in the numbers first. Viktor did $25M ARR in its first 16 weeks essentially self-serve, no sales team, people finding it and paying for it on their own. Now the person who scaled three generations of work software is the one selling it. For anyone trying to work out which AI products are actually real, that filter travels further than most benchmarks. @viktor__com
