Hi there :waveboi:
My name is Austin Hay.
I am a martech and revtech operator, and currently one of the co-founders of Clarify — a next gen, AI-native CRM.
I’ve spent my whole life at the intersection of product, marketing, sales and engineering. Many people know me as the stack whisperer 🥞 I love helping technical and non-technical operators work together to use tools to solve big business problems.
At my core, I’m a builder. I’ve been one of the first team-members of 4 different startups, and helped companies grow from Seed through Series E.
Today, I’m working alongside my co-founders Patrick Thompson and Ondrej Hrebicek to try to dethrone Salesforce. It’s audacious, and a heck of a fun ride.

HBE Ventures is a private company I started almost a decade ago in order to consult and invest in growth, martech, revtech and systems businesses.
I’ve consulted to 20+ different companies and invested in just as many.

I’m currently building out the Growth Stack Mafia newsletter. In it, I cover the latest on martech, revtech, technical systems and everything in between.
Subscribe on substack. (Doesn’t everyone have a substack now?)
