🔥 Warm Signal
Grant was a Netlify Account Executive from January to November 2025 — less than a year ago. He knows the platform, the team, and the value prop. Now he's selling Supabase to the same dev-forward companies that deploy on Netlify. He's the warmest door in this account.
Prior Experience
- Account Executive @ Netlify (Jan 2025 – Nov 2025)
- Founder @ G + J Hauling (Jun–Aug 2023)
Talking Points
- Grant knows Netlify from the inside — shared language, shared customers, shared motion
- Supabase already uses Netlify in their stack — this is an expansion conversation, not a cold pitch
- $300M raised in 2025 alone ($200M Series D + $100M Series E); team doubled — infra investment is active
- Netlify + Supabase is the canonical modern stack — Grant can champion this internally
- Ask: who on the team owns the Netlify relationship? Grant is the bridge.

✏️ Virio Post Talking Points
- •The best accounts already know your product. They're using it.
- •Supabase runs Netlify. Grant Huston ran Netlify accounts for nearly a year before joining Supabase. That's not a cold call — that's a reunion.
- •When a $5B company is scaling headcount 99% YoY and their AE team already speaks your language, the question isn't whether to expand. It's how fast.
- •Netlify + Supabase isn't a bundle. It's the stack. And Grant knows both sides of it.
