Hi, I'm Peter, founder of Sync Sonic AI — we build AI-powered systems that help businesses instantly follow up with leads, book more appointments, and close more deals without lifting a finger. I recently won the Founders Live pitch competition, where I showcased how voice AI is transforming lead conversion across industries like insurance, solar, and healthcare. With a background in growth marketing and automation, I'm passionate about making cutting-edge tech both accessible and profitable for service-based businesses.

Please describe the company or project are you currently building? Why are you building it?
I’m building Sync Sonic AI, a platform that combines AI voice agents with CRM automation to help businesses follow up with leads instantly, 24/7. Most businesses lose money not because of bad leads, but because they’re slow to respond — we fix that by turning every new lead into a real-time conversation.
I started Sync Sonic because I saw too many companies spending thousands on ads, only to let leads slip through the cracks. I wanted to build a system that not only improves speed-to-lead, but also increases close rates with smart, persistent follow-up — all without hiring more staff.
What is your vision? Go out 5 years, what does the world look like with your product or service in it?
In five years, I see a world where AI-powered agents are the first point of contact for every business — not just answering questions, but booking appointments, qualifying leads, and nurturing prospects across voice, text, and email instantly and intelligently.
With Sync Sonic AI, businesses of all sizes will compete on service, not headcount. Small teams will have the same follow-up power as enterprise call centers — running 24/7, never missing a lead, and converting more customers with less effort.
Our goal is to make conversational AI as essential to business growth as having a website — something no serious business operates without.
What ONE thing do you need help with the most, and what do you want to ask from the Founders Live community?
The one thing I need help with most right now is connecting with businesses or agencies that are spending at least $5K/month on lead generation — especially in industries like insurance, healthcare, and home services.
My ask to the Founders Live community:
If you know a business or agency that’s struggling to follow up with leads or convert them consistently, I’d love an introduction — or even just feedback on how you’d pitch AI follow-up in your own industry.
I’m also happy to offer free access to our system to anyone in the community who wants to test it out firsthand.
Identify 3 qualities that when combined make a great founder. Expand a few descriptive sentences on each.
1. Relentless Resourcefulness
Great founders don’t wait for perfect conditions — they make things happen with what they have. Whether it’s figuring out a workaround, landing a customer without a product, or pitching before they feel ready, they find creative ways to keep moving forward. They don’t get stuck — they get scrappy.
2. Deep Empathy for the Customer
The best founders obsess over their users. They listen closely, ask the right questions, and care deeply about solving real problems — not just building cool tech. This empathy becomes their compass, guiding product decisions, messaging, and even pricing. It’s how they build something people actually want.
3. Long-Term Vision with Short-Term Execution
Vision without action is a dream — action without vision is chaos. Great founders balance both. They can paint a compelling picture of the future but also prioritize what needs to get done this week. They don’t just build fast — they build in the right direction.
If you could go back to the beginning and talk to your “rookie founder” self, what would say? And if you are a Rookie Founder, what areas do find most challenging?
“Start selling earlier — and talk to customers more than you build.”
It’s easy to get caught up in making the product perfect, but the real learning (and progress) comes from putting it in front of real people, hearing “no,” and iterating fast. Revenue is the most honest form of feedback.
I’d also remind myself:
“Don’t try to do everything alone.”
Find mentors, hire specialists, and ask for help sooner. Delegating and trusting others doesn’t mean losing control — it means moving faster.
