During an acquisition evaluation, eBay's CFO, Head of Collectibles USA, and four other senior executives came to see the robotics division at Gradient. I was one of four Gradient leaders to present, owning the entire technical stack and explaining our robotic process. I also built an instant eBay integration demo feature that left them all speechless.
“We’ve been trying to solve this problem for 10 years, and you just solved it.”

Unfortunately for us, eBay only maintains close business relationships with partners over $10M in ARR. We missed that mark, so the acquisition could not proceed.
