About the job
Greetings! I’m Aidan, the founder of Maple.
At Maple, we’re revolutionizing the way local businesses operate by developing AI agents that serve various industries, including restaurants, salons, repair shops, and more. These innovative agents engage in real customer interactions, managing calls, processing orders, booking appointments, and more with natural voice.
Our overarching mission is profound: we aim to create automated ontologies that accurately represent the operational intricacies of businesses — encompassing their services, workflows, constraints, and specific jargon — enabling our agents to adapt seamlessly. We believe in meeting businesses at their current state, rather than forcing them to conform to rigid software structures.
With a diverse customer base, robust revenue growth, extensive runway, and the support of top-tier investors, I look forward to sharing more about our journey when we connect.
