Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: This interview is completely different from any other interview on Mixergy. Here’s why–A couple years ago, I invested in a company called Assist that went through a bunch of different iterations, but eventually, it became one of the first Facebook Messenger chatbot makers. I loved the whole idea of chatbots as a platform, but I felt that a lot of people didn’t get it. Well, Scott Oldford and Katya Sarmiento are here to tell you how they started a business called Bots for Business. And I’ve got a big announcement you’ll hear about in this interview. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/bots-for-business-with-scott-and-katya/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/bots-for-business-with-scott-and-katya/?get-twitter-card=true&amp;" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Scott Oldford and Katya Sarmiento are the founders of Bots for Business, which helps customers generate more leads and sales using Messenger bots.</p> <p>Katya also runs <a href="http://www.reachandmakemillions.com/pos">Reach and Make Millions</a> where she helps 6-figure entrepreneurs scale up to 7-figures. </p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p>With <a href="http://www.Bench.co/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Bench</a>, you get a professional bookkeeping team to do your books for you and our simple, elegant software to review your finances.
