Scaling a team is hard work. We look at Evolve, a new tool that helps founders automate onboarding and training without losing the personal touch. Book a demo to see how it works.
The "Broken Telephone" Effect of Scaling
If you have ever hired your tenth, twentieth, or fiftieth employee, you know the feeling.
In the early days, training was easy. You sat next to the new hire, they shadowed you on calls, and they absorbed your "founder DNA" by osmosis. But as you grow, that becomes impossible. You can’t sit next to everyone.
Suddenly, you find yourself repeating the same answers five times a day. Or worse, you realize your sales team is pitching the product slightly differently than you would, and the message is getting diluted.
Most of us try to fix this with a standard Learning Management System (LMS). We upload some videos, ask people to tick a box, and hope for the best. But let's be honest: nobody really enjoys those. They feel like homework.
That is why we wanted to highlight a new addition to our toolkit: Evolve.
A More Practical Approach to Training
We added Evolve to our resources page not because it’s "flashy AI," but because it solves the very unglamorous problem of time.
Here is why we think it’s worth a look for busy founders and ops leaders:
1. It respects your time
Writing training manuals is usually a weekend job for founders. It’s tedious. Evolve helps by doing the heavy lifting. You can feed it your messy Google Docs, PDFs, or previous recorded calls, and it structures them into a course for you. It writes the quizzes and summaries so you don't have to. It doesn't replace your expertise, but it definitely speeds up the delivery.
2. A safe place to practice
The scariest part of sales or customer support is that first live call. Usually, we let new hires practice on real leads—which can be risky. Evolve has a feature that allows your team to role-play with an AI counterpart. They can practice handling objections or delivering a pitch in a private setting. It means they can stumble, freeze up, and try again before they get on the phone with your actual customers.
3. Stop answering the same questions
As you scale, your Slack DMs probably blow up with questions like, "Where is that case study?" or "What’s our policy on refunds?" Evolve acts as a searchable brain for your company. Employees can ask it questions in plain English and get an answer pulled from your uploaded documents. It frees you up to focus on strategy, rather than being the company encyclopedia.
Is it right for you?
Evolve isn't for everyone. If you are a team of three sitting in the same room, you probably don't need this yet.
But if you are in that difficult "messy middle" of scaling—where you are hiring faster than you can train, and you’re worried about maintaining quality—this is a tool that can help you sleep a little better at night.
See it in action
The best way to see if this fits your culture is to try it out. You can book a demo directly with their team to see how the simulation works in real-time.
