S1 E35 - Mariane Bekker, Tiffany Hicks, Co-Founder of Seed Through Series, and Hans Sandhu, CBO at TheAgentic

On this week's episode of Silicon Valley Impact, we have our friend Mariane Bekker in the house, co-hosting on the topic of Go-To-Market insights—our newest recurring theme for scaling at velocity. Joining us in the studio are Tiffany Hicks, Co-Founder of Seed Through Series, and Hans Sandhu, CBO at TheAgentic. Tiffany is a sales and operations guru with a proven track record at Fortune 500 companies and stealth startups. She excels at building sales organizations from scratch and developing infrastructure to enable rapid growth. A Stanford graduate and second-generation entrepreneur, her passion for sales is built into her DNA. She cut her teeth at Yelp as an early sales hire and manager during their pre- and post-IPO phases, refined her complex selling skills at Salesforce, and has spent the past decade building revenue engines at fast-growth startups. Her passion for complex problem-solving and keen instinct for sales and go-to-market strategies inspired her to begin working independently as a startup growth consultant in 2023, which quickly led to partnering with Cailin LaVallee to create Seed Through Series. Hans is an entrepreneurial and technology professional with a passion for scaling startups, shaped by Silicon Valley. He’s played pivotal roles in companies' successful acquisitions and achieved unprecedented sales results at multiple venture-backed startups, while using that success to become an LP in a VC fund (he’s still a current ARR record holder at three companies). Hans is highly skilled at swiftly identifying gaps within GTM motions and guiding startups through their market entry and scaling phases, focusing on strategic execution and process. As CBO at TheAgentic, Hans leads the development of the most accurate LLM for AI agents, enabling startups to build production-grade AI applications with unmatched accuracy. Their platform allows users to create intelligent agents that work seamlessly, outperforming models like Claude and ChatGPT. TheAgentic’s Startup Launch Program is dedicated to building an AI MVP from the ground up—taking companies from 0 to 1. This and much more on Silicon Valley Impact!
