Company profile
researched Aug 2026Arrows sells software for B2B revenue teams that turns a sales team's working practices into a written, machine-readable "playbook" and then applies it to individual opportunities. For each deal the product maintains a "gameplan": a continuously updated plan of next steps from the present day to the expected close date, derived from deal context such as call transcripts, calendar meetings, email threads and CRM records. When a triggering event occurs — a call summary, a newly scheduled meeting, or a CRM update — the system re-runs the playbook and refreshes the plan.
Around the gameplan, Arrows performs background work on the rep's behalf rather than waiting for prompts: drafting post-call follow-up and recap emails, preparing pre-call briefs that summarize account status, champion and stakeholder details, deal size, close timing, competitive presence and blockers, producing scheduled daily briefs covering the day's calls, actions and at-risk deals, updating the CRM, building stakeholder maps, and flagging deals with no next scheduled conversation. Reps work in a dedicated workspace that shows each account's gameplan, ready and upcoming actions, close date and recent activity, positioned as an alternative to working directly in the CRM. The playbook itself is described as updating from observed rep behavior, with a changelog of what it revised.
Earlier in the company's history the product was positioned as a customer onboarding tool: shared action plans connected to HubSpot deals and tickets, used by onboarding, sales and customer success teams to give customers and internal owners a clear view of what comes next.
Founding story
The company was self-funded initially, with the founders stating the plan was to avoid outside capital as long as possible; as they learned more about the customer onboarding market they concluded that raising capital was necessary to scale the business, leading to a 2021 seed round.
Business model
Business-to-business software sold to sales and revenue organizations, with a demo-request entry point on the company website; the product integrates with CRM systems, with published material emphasizing a deep HubSpot integration.
Sold as a software product to companies' revenue teams; specific pricing terms are not stated in available material.
Traction
A published customer quote from the CEO of humanpredictions.io reported cutting average onboarding time by more than half and increasing annual retention by 23% after rebuilding onboarding processes on Arrows. A startup data listing reports roughly 10.8K monthly website visits and 1.4K followers, and staffing in the 1-10 range.
Latest developments
Current product messaging centers on agents that run a team's playbook, generate a gameplan for every deal, prepare pre-call and daily briefs, draft follow-ups and update the CRM, plus a rep workspace. The company publishes guidance on using Anthropic's Claude for sales workflows, including Claude "skills" it distributes free, Claude Cowork scheduled workflows, and a directory of Claude connectors for sales tools. In August 2025 Arrows was named a sponsor of the inaugural GTM Leadership Awards recognizing 40 go-to-market leaders.

Market position
Positions itself against static sales playbooks, CRM-centric workflows that reps avoid, and prompt-driven AI assistants, arguing that generic AI output volume does not fix late follow-ups, stale CRM data or neglected deals outside a rep's top handful.
Emphasizes proactive, unprompted execution of work derived from a team-specific written playbook and a living per-deal plan, with a focused seller workspace rather than requiring reps to prompt an assistant or work inside the CRM; the company frames rep judgment, relationships and in-room reading as non-automatable while automating the surrounding work.
Technology
Agentic AI applied to sales execution: an "agent-native" playbook that encodes how a team works deals, an automated planning layer that reads full deal context (call transcripts, meeting events, email, CRM records) to generate and continuously replan per-deal action plans, scheduled agents (for example a 6am weekday daily brief and automatic pre-call briefs when new calls appear on the calendar), and generation of follow-up emails, briefs and CRM updates without user prompting.
Go-to-market
Direct sales motion led by a website demo request, supported by a content blog covering sales workflows and AI tooling; the company has also sponsored an industry awards program for go-to-market leaders and has historically distributed through the HubSpot ecosystem.
B2B sales, revenue, onboarding and customer success teams and their front-line reps and managers; earlier customer references include software companies such as humanpredictions.io.
Geography
Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States.
History
Daniel Zarick, previously an early product manager at Twilio and owner of the design and growth agency No Small Things, co-founded Arrows and serves as CEO; a data listing also names Benedict Fritz as a co-founder and reports a 2018 founding date, while another profile dates Zarick's tenure as CEO/co-founder from 2020. Arrows announced a $2.75 million seed round in June 2021 led by Gradient Ventures with 47 angel investors, and hired for product design, onboarding and sales/operations roles at that time. The company also received an investment from HubSpot Ventures and focused the product on deep HubSpot CRM integration. The product later evolved from customer onboarding action plans into an agent-driven deal execution platform built around playbooks and gameplans.
