revops folks, would love your read. we're an early-stage startup choosing our first CRM, and the decision is between: 1. stick with hubspot and build the AI part in-house 2. an AI-native CRM instead, think zero or lightfield 3. the full-suite route, e.g. monaco for anyone who made this call in the last ~6 months: which did you go with, and what broke, needed rework or surprised you after the first few weeks of real use?

has anyone here put real time into the swarm or happenstance? i'd like to hear from actual users rather than the landing pages. 1. which of the two did you stick with, and why? 2. is it still in use a couple of months later, or did usage drop off after the first look? 3. how did you persuade investors and others in your network to connect their contacts? the graph is only as good as who joins, so any lessons on that ask would help a lot

has anyone here worked with rented or self-created linkedin accounts for outbound? we're weighing whether to add extra senders and i'd rather hear from people who've actually run it 1. are you still doing it today? if you stopped, what was the reason (restrictions, cost, reply quality)? 2. which providers did you have good experiences with? equally useful to hear if none were good 3. did you consider renting accounts from real people directly and setting up/maintaining them yourself? if not, why not?
