Brief

TakeOff (@letsleverup) is being acquired by Sierra, announced by Bret Taylor (with Clay Bavor), after extremely rapid commercial growth: the founder Aakash and others claim the company added seven-figure enterprise revenue every other week in under six months, and Taylor reports near‑eight‑figure revenue and multiple seven‑figure contracts since early 2026.

Why it matters

@ItzSuds claims TakeOff (@letsleverup) went from a kernel of an idea to adding seven-figure enterprise revenue every other week in under six months and credits an intro from @neilmovva.

Key details

  • Bret Taylor announced Sierra is acquiring TakeOff (called the "leader in long-horizon AI agents"), saying TakeOff reached near eight figures in revenue in less than a year and has closed several seven-figure contracts since the start of 2026; Taylor and Clay Bavor welcomed founder Aakash and the team.
Source evidence

I’ve been around a lot of very successful companies, but never have I seen one go from a kernel of an idea to adding 7 figures of enterprise revenue every other week in less than 6 months

It was incredible to watch @letsleverup build Takeoff & thank you @neilmovva for the intro!

Bret Taylor (@btaylor)

I’m incredibly excited to share that Sierra is acquiring TakeOff, the leader in long-horizon AI agents. @claybavor and I couldn't be more excited to welcome @letsleverup and the entire TakeOff team.

In less than a year, they've built something truly special: an agent platform that delivers real business outcomes, is beloved by customers, and is growing incredibly quickly. Their maniacal focus on revenue driving, long-horizon agents has taken them from 0 to near 8 figures in revenue across several 7 figure contracts since the start of this year.

As we got to know the team, it became clear we were making the same bet: that fully autonomous agents would perform human-level work at software scale and that the largest businesses in AI would be built around outcomes, not inference. Takeoff has built an exceptional platform and team to make that real, and together we’re excited to build the leading company in long-horizon AI agents.

Welcome, Aakash and the Takeoff team. nitter.net/letsleverup/status/208…
