5 assertions · 3 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 5 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, and 4 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Uber and Deliveroo used Aircall for customer support in 2016
“So we use by, let's say, Uber, Deliveroo, I mean, all the on-demand economy, a lot of tech companies to just start doing business, calling customers, getting calls from customers, and just making sure all calls are attended wherever the team is based.”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Olivier Pailhès on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Aircall saw 5-15% monthly growth purely from existing customer expansion
“Not a good thing is that net churn is negative. So if you factor in the expansion we get from our customers, we actually, without doing nothing, we typically have a growth between five to 15% a month from the expansion.”

Disclosure
Pailhès refused to consider an exit below a nine-figure valuation
“So once we get there let's say now we have a, whatever, eight digit valuation. That's nice. Clearly we need to add a digit, and then maybe we'll think about an exit or something, but I think it's even then, maybe probably too early.”
