Meet our Co-Founder and CEO, Ari Malik. Before starting Salient, Ari worked across finance and technology at Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Tesla. Along the way, he recognized an opportunity hiding in plain sight: auto lending is an $800 billion industry, yet lenders still spend an estimated $20 to $30 billion each year on manual, outdated servicing processes. In 2023, Ari left Tesla to build a better solution. Since then, Salient has raised a $65 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, reached more than $45 million in ARR, and partnered with over five of the top 10 U.S. auto lenders. We have also converted every pilot into a paid partnership and maintained zero customer churn since launch. Behind that momentum is one of Ari’s core principles: obsess over the customer. Every Salient client has his personal cell phone number, reflecting a customer-first mindset he developed throughout his time at Goldman Sachs and Tesla. On August 11, Ari will join us for a fireside chat about “How Lean Teams Drive Outsized Revenue,” sharing the lessons, decisions, and customer focus behind Salient’s growth. We hope to see you there. 📅 August 11 | 6:00 to 8:30 PM | 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/gNYww_3i
