Great stuff! I celebrate everyone who gets the world off SFDC. We recently started using https://attio.com/ — how do you guys compare?

Attio is great. I think it's among the best new entrants.

So far, the main difference is that Okapi can be even simpler than Attio if you'd like it to be. There are no mandatory built-in objects, and no enrichments/automations/etc that you can't disable. You can KISS your sales process as much as you like.

To that end, we've also been eschewing self-service onboarding. We just set up customer's CRMs and import their data for them, shooting for the simplest setup they can get away with. The software is generic, and we make it concrete for customers by hand.

Adding another simple point: we're simply earlier than Attio by several years.

Our long-term differentiation will be more obvious as we mature the product and distribution model.

Don't you mean later? You ought to have a clear idea of your differentiation from the beginning.

If I were any good at following best practices, I wouldn't be a startup founder :)

Everyone is using it and they all look the same
