About Unify Unify was founded January 17th, 2023 by Austin Hughes and Connor Heggie. Prior to Unify, Austin led Ramp’s growth product team focused on new customer acquisition, and Connor was a machine learning research engineer at Scale AI. The rest of our team comes from companies like Airbnb, Spotify, Bridgewater and Retool. Our mission is to build the first system-of-action for go-to-market teams, starting with an end to end platform powering warm outbound.
