About Spiral

Spiral is an AI solution that scans customer feedback and support data to detect emerging customer-facing problems before they blow up. 


Our Culture

While you can check out our values here, in short, we’re a team of creative, passionate, and collaborative problem solvers. We all exchange friendly, honest feedback daily because we believe we have a lot to learn from one other. Coaching and preparation are also key to our success. And the best idea wins – always!

Our mission is to make every company in the world customer-centric. 

Many companies receive a staggering amount of customer feedback every day – so much that no human could fully comprehend it all by hand. Product managers either attempt to manually scan through thousands of reviews and customer conversations or, surprisingly often, this information is just never used. Spiral, on the other hand, scans all customer feedback in minutes using AI and provides product managers and customer support leaders with specific problems that directly impact customers. This enables businesses to fix the problems that matter most, creating a better product and a happier customer. Founded by two former Amazonians, Spiral takes customer obsession to the next level. It provides companies with a scalable solution that shows the true north of what customers want, boosting the company’s revenue and customer satisfaction. Spiral has raised from world class investors such as Trilogy Equity Partners, Bezos Expeditions, Techstars, Amazon Alexa Fund, Alumni Ventures Group, and others.

B2B sales organization, take pride in hitting your targets, and have soaked up how the sales engine and handoff processes work because you’re ready to build one yourself. You’re confident in your abilities, but are open to mentorship to increase your awareness and skill. You might also be looking to quickly grow into an SDR leadership or AE role in the B2B AI/ML software space.
