Eight-person AI note-taker Circleback hits ~$8M revenue on just $2.5M raised

Y Combinator-backed Circleback, founded in 2023, reports roughly $8 million in run-rate revenue (annualized) and profitability since 2024, having raised only $2.5 million. The eight-person team earns over $1 million per employee. Co-founder Ali Haghani says the company is not looking to raise funds despite investor interest. Circleback spends nothing on Google or Meta ads.
