🗣️ Discussed in Meetings — Not in the Target Universe
Companies named in transcripts that didn't surface from list consolidation. Worth investigating whether to add them.
Healthcare Realty Trust
⚠️ not in target universe
👀 Interested
“I'll probably follow up Monday. We're not going to wait forever, but I'll see if we at least get an answer. They're so different than everybody else — Goldman Sachs is GS, General Motors is GM. Worth a yes-or-no gauge before the first round.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
NYSE ticker: HR. Nothing to do with human resources — healthcare REIT. Andrew Miller emailed general counsel + CEO directly; confirmed received Monday. Pre-launched ahead of mass blast to give them clean shot at domain.
Remote
⚠️ not in target universe
🌡 Warming
“Yob's interested in all three: the platform itself, access to 1.9 million HR professionals, and possibly my-people-AI. The first thing he wrote back was 'how much?' We struggled greatly with remote.com — brilliant during COVID, not so brilliant today.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
Yob Vandervoort — owner. John Kelly worked there as CRO ~2 years, ended 6 months ago. Personal warm intro. Yo bought Jobs.com (rebranded GitHub-style). Worth $800M personally. Third leg of stool behind Deal and Ripley. Critical detail: Yob ALREADY HAS a plan for the domain.
Toptal

👻 Ghosted
“Tasso Duval always cycles back. As soon as you call him, he'll be interested again. He always is. But I could never come to terms with him because he wanted me to terminate everybody in Canada, then rehire them — basically saying you pay all the severance.”
— Meeting with The new Delancey (selling team) · 2026-05-06
Tasso Duval — Toptal CEO. Multiple prior cycles. Debbie: 'In retrospect, maybe he was just looking for the domain name. He could never tell me what he was going to do with it.' Red flag: change of CFOs multiple times during attempts. Tasso always returns.
Drake
⚠️ not in target universe
⏳ Not Now
“Karen from Drake says she's hot. I don't think she is. For three years this common person keeps saying we should talk. Never returns my emails. We have meetings set up. She doesn't show up.”
— Call with Deb · 2026-05-11
Karen — Drake contact. Now upset Deb hired a broker. Wants demo of My People. 'Doesn't really understand it.' Three years of failed connection. Mark to follow up.
SmartRecruiters
⚠️ not in target universe
🚫 Pass
“Acquired by SAP $155M. They've got $5 in the bank. They can barely hire anybody.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
Jeff is CEO. John Kelly knows the team. Cash-constrained post-SAP exit.
Gusto
⚠️ not in target universe

“John has partner relationship — 'we partner with Gusto.' Listed on ATM's outreach sheet, flagged purple as John-Kelly-warm-intro.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
Mass-blast Tuesday next week unless John flags otherwise.
ADP
⚠️ not in target universe

“We partnered with ADP. I know the executive team over at ADP.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
On ATM's list. John-Kelly-warm.
Paycom
⚠️ not in target universe
👀 Interested
“John listed Paycom on the spreadsheet as part of his coverage. Going through list company by company before next Tuesday's blast.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
On ATM's list. Will receive Andrew's mass-blast unless flagged.
Hibob
⚠️ not in target universe

John Kelly has executive-team relationships.
Bamboo HR
⚠️ not in target universe
👀 Interested
“I still kind of laugh with Kevin over there now — is this new CRO going really, Bamboo? Wait, like why Bamboo?”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
Kevin — new CRO. John Kelly warm relationship.
Deel
⚠️ not in target universe
🌡 Warming
“Alex has tried to hire me 10 times to come over. I might have that personal reach out again.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29
Alex — Deel exec. John Kelly direct relationship. Third leg with Remote + Ripley.
Ripple / Rippling
⚠️ not in target universe
👀 Interested
“Third leg of a three-legged stool behind Deal and Ripley.”
— HR.com Catch Up · 2026-04-29

💬 Andrew Miller / Debbie McGrath's Voice
“The business complicates the domain. The domain's value is going to get dragged down by the multiple of the business. The better buyer historically: wants the domain only.”— Andrew Miller (ATM Holdings), HR.com Catch Up, 2026-04-29
“Anything in the 10-to-15 range is all-time top-30 epic. Anything 15-to-20 is top-5 all time. So if I'm guiding Deb and someone comes with a $7.5M cash offer for this domain, I'd be insane not to take it. But my contract with her is 12.5.”— Andrew Miller, HR.com Catch Up, 2026-04-29
“Tasso could never get him across that finish line. He wanted me to terminate everybody in Canada, then him to rehire them — basically saying Deb, you pay all the severance, and we'll cherry-pick what we want. Maybe he was just looking for the domain name.”— Debbie McGrath, New Delancey selling team, 2026-05-06
