This week on Founder Friday, we sat down with the co-founders of Everlasting Candle Co. Tamara and Jesse Furguson.

AI won’t kill your career, but refusing to learn might

Most professionals are worried AI will take their job. King Kong founder Sabri Suby argues the harsher truth is that AI will expose those who have been doing the same work for too long.

The business content formula that is outperforming sales pitches by 325 percent

Business content built around authentic networking and trust-building is driving three to five times higher engagement than traditional sales pitches.

Most CX platforms do not own the voice. They orchestrate a workflow, then call a third party for speech and transcription. Every hop adds latency, cost, and another vendor to manage.

ElevenAgents is the opposite. They make the voice models the market builds on, and ElevenAgents puts full orchestration on top. Voice, transcription, text-based chat, and reasoning run in one vertically integrated pipeline, so responses come back in <400 milliseconds and sound human, not synthetic.

Plus, you keep full control. Plug in any LLM, integrate tools, webhooks, and MCP servers, and ground responses in your knowledge base. Get an agent live in minutes, then A/B test with Experiments, enforce Guardrails, and version every change.

The payoff: more human conversations, lower latency, and far less time stitching infrastructure together. You build on the models you already trust. Pricing is transparent and flat at $0.08 per minute.
