Aviate, operating as getaviate.com, has developed a contextual AI co-pilot designed to augment the capabilities of B2B sales teams. The company was established in 2023 by co-founders Michael Stefano and Chris Vescio. Stefano's direct experience in sales development roles at firms like Outreach provided the foundational insight into the inefficiencies of manual prospecting and the critical need for personalized outreach, which became the core thesis for Aviate.
The firm's primary offering is a software tool, delivered as a Chrome extension, that integrates directly into the workflows of sales professionals, operating on top of platforms such as LinkedIn and Salesforce. This tool serves as an AI-powered assistant for Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) and Account Executives (AEs). Its function is to streamline the extensive research process required for effective B2B sales by analyzing target profiles and company data. By doing so, it generates tailored messaging, talking points, and email drafts, enabling sales teams to execute hyper-personalized outreach campaigns with greater efficiency. The product directly addresses the challenge of creating high-quality, relevant communication at scale.
The business operates within the competitive SalesTech and MarTech markets, targeting companies that rely on outbound sales motions. The revenue model, prior to its acquisition, was structured around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription. A significant milestone in the company's short history was its acquisition by Thrive in May 2024. This event led to the integration of Aviate's technology and personnel into Thrive's go-to-market platform, with both Stefano and Vescio joining the acquiring company's leadership team to continue shaping the product's evolution.
